LM86

±

0.75˚C Accurate, Remote Diode and Local Digital

Temperature Sensor with Two-Wire Interface

General Description

The LM86 is an 11-bit digital temperature sensor with a
2-wire System Management Bus (SMBus) serial interface.
The LM86 accurately measures its own temperature as well
as the temperature of an external device, such as processor
thermal diode or diode connected transistor such as the
2N3904. The temperature of any ASIC can be accurately
determined using the LM86 as long as a dedicated diode
(semiconductor junction) is available on the target die. The
LM86 remote sensor accuracy of

±

0.75˚C is factory trimmed

for the 1.008 typical non-ideality factor of the mobile Pen-
tium

III thermal diode. The LM86 has an Offset

register

to

allow

measuring

other

diodes

without

requiring

continuous

software

management.

Activation of the ALERT output occurs when any tempera-
ture goes outside a preprogrammed window set by the HIGH
and LOW temperature limit registers or exceeds the T_CRIT
temperature limit. Activation of the T_CRIT_A occurs when
any temperature exceeds the T_CRIT programmed limit.
The LM86 is pin and register compatible with the the Analog
Devices ADM1032 and Maxim MAX6657/8.
