LM83
Triple-Diode Input and Local Digital Temperature Sensor
with Two-Wire Interface
General Description
The LM83 is a digital temperature sensor with a 2 wire serial
interface that senses the voltage and thus the temperature of
three remote diodes using a Delta-Sigma analog-to-digital
converter with a digital over-temperature detector. The LM83
accurately senses its own temperature as well as the tem-
perature of three external devices, such as Pentium II®Pro-
cessors or diode connected 2N3904s. The temperature of
anyASIC can be detected using the LM83 as long as a dedi-
cated diode (semiconductor junction) is available on the die.
Using the SMBus interface a host can access the LM83’s
registers at any time. Activation of a T_CRIT_A output oc-
curs when any temperature is greater than a programmable
comparator limit, T_CRIT. Activation of an INT output occurs
when any temperature is greater than its corresponding pro-
grammable comparator HIGH limit.
The host can program as well as read back the state of the
T_CRIT register and the four T_HIGH registers. Three state
logic inputs allow two pins (ADD0, ADD1) to select up to 9
SMBus address locations for the LM83. The sensor powers
up with default thresholds of 127˚C for T_CRIT and all
T_HIGHs. The LM83 is pin for pin and register compatible
with the LM84 as well as the Maxim MAX1617 and the Ana-
log Devices ADM1021.

Logic Electrical Characteristics (Continued)
Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. DC and AC electrical specifications do not apply when operating
the device beyond its rated operating conditions.
Note 2: When the input voltage (VI) at any pin exceeds the power supplies (VI<GND or VI>VCC), the current at that pin should be limited to 5 mA. The 20 mA
maximum package input current rating limits the number of pins that can safely exceed the power supplies with an input current of 5 mA to four.
Parasitic components and or ESD protection circuitry are shown in the figure below for the LM83’s pins. The nominal breakdown voltage of the zener D3 is 6.5 V.
Care should be taken not to forward bias the parasitic diode, D1, present on pins: D+, D−,ADD1 andADD0. Doing so by more than 50 mV may corrupt a temperature
or voltage measurement.

1.0 Functional Description
The LM83 temperature sensor incorporates a band-gap type
temperature sensor using a Local or three Remote diodes
and an 8-bit ADC (Delta-Sigma Analog-to-Digital Converter).
The LM83 is compatible with the serial SMBus and I
2
C two
wire interfaces. Digital comparators compare Local (LT) and
Remote (D1RT, D2RT and D3RT) temperature readings to
user-programmable setpoints (LHS, D1RHS, D2RHS,
D3RHS and TCS).Activation of the INT output indicates that
a comparison is greater than the limit preset in a HIGH reg-
ister. The T_CRIT setpoint (TCS) interacts with all the tem-
perature readings. Activation of the T_CRIT_A output indi-
cates that any or all of the temperature readings have
exceed the T_CRIT setpoint.
1.1 CONVERSION SEQUENCE
The LM83 converts its own temperature as well as 3 remote
diode temperatures in the following sequence:
1. Local Temperature (LT)
1. Remote Diode 2 (D2RT)
2. Remote Diode 1 (D1RT)
3. Remote Diode 3 (D3RT)
This round robin sequence takes approximately 480 ms to
complete as each temperature is digitized in approximately
120 ms.
1.2 INT OUTPUT and T_HIGH LIMITS
Each temperature reading (LT, D1RT, D2RT, and D3RT) is
associated with a T_HIGH setpoint register (LHS, D1RHS,
D2RHS, D3RHS).At the end of a temperature reading a digi-
tal comparison determines whether that reading has exceed
its HIGH setpoint. If the temperature reading is greater than
the HIGH setpoint, a bit is set in one of the Status Registers,
to indicate which temperature reading, and the INT output is
activated.
Local and remote temperature diodes are sampled in se-
quence by the A/D converter. The INT output and the Status

FIGURE 3. Printed Circuit Board Used for Thermal Resistance Specifications
LM83

1.0 Functional Description (Continued)
Register flags are updated at the completion of a conversion,
which occurs approximately 60 ms after a temperature diode
is sampled. INT is deactivated when the Status Register,
containing the set bit, is read and a temperature reading is
less than or equal to it’s corresponding HIGH setpoint, as
shown in
Figure 4
.
Figure 5
shows a simplified logic diagram
for the INT output and related circuitry.
The INT output can be disabled by setting the INT mask bit,
D7, of the configuration register. INT can be programmed to
be active high or low by the state of the INT inversion bit, D1,
in the configuration register. A “0” would program INT to be
active low. INT is an open-drain output.
1.3 T_CRIT_A OUTPUT and T_CRIT LIMIT
T_CRIT_A is activated when any temperature reading is
greater than the limit preset in the critical temperature set-
point register (T_CRIT), as shown in
Figure 6
. The Status
Registers can be read to determine which event caused the
alarm. A bit in the Status Registers is set high to indicate
which temperature reading exceeded the T_CRIT setpoint
temperature and caused the alarm, see
Section 2.3
.
Local and remote temperature diodes are sampled in se-
quence by the A/D converter. The T_CRIT_A output and the
Status Register flags are updated at the completion of a con-
version. T_CRIT_A and the Status Register flags are reset
only after the Status Register is read and if a temperature
conversion is below the T_CRITsetpoint, as shown in
Figure
6
.
Figure 7
shows a simplified logic diagram of the
T_CRIT_A and related circuitry.
Located in the Configuration Register are the mask bits for
each temperature reading, see
Section 2.5
. When a mask bit
is set, its corresponding status flag will not propagate to the
T_CRIT_A output, but will still be set in the Status Registers.
Setting all four mask bits or programming the T_CRIT set-
point to 127˚C will disable the T_CRIT_A output.

LM83 always powers up to these known default states:
1. Command Register set to 00h
2. Local Temperature set to 0˚C

1.5 SMBus INTERFACE
The LM83 operates as a slave on the SMBus, so the
SMBCLK line is an input (no clock is generated by the LM83)
and the SMBData line is bi-directional. According to SMBus
specifications, the LM83 has a 7-bit slave address. Bit 4 (A3)
of the slave address is hard wired inside the LM83 to a 1.
The remainder of the address bits are controlled by the state
of the address select pins ADD1 and ADD0, and are set by
connecting these pins to ground for a low, (0) , to V
CC
for a
high, (1), or left floating (TRI-LEVEL).
Therefore, the complete slave address is:
A6 A5 A4 1 A2 A1 A0
MSB LSB
and is selected as follows:
Address Select Pin State LM83 SMBus
Slave Address
ADD0 ADD1 A6:A0 binary
0 0 001 1000
0 TRI-LEVEL 001 1001
0 1 001 1010
TRI-LEVEL 0 010 1001
TRI-LEVEL TRI-LEVEL 010 1010
TRI-LEVEL 1 010 1011
1 0 100 1100
1 TRI-LEVEL 100 1101
1 1 100 1110
The LM83 latches the state of the address select pins during
the first read or write on the SMBus. Changing the state of
the address select pins after the first read or write to any de-
vice on the SMBus will not change the slave address of the
LM83.
1.6 TEMPERATURE DATA FORMAT
Temperature data can be read from the Local and Remote
Temperature, T_CRIT, and HIGH setpoint registers; and writ-
ten to the T_CRIT and HIGH setpoint registers. Temperature
data is represented by an 8-bit, two’s complement byte with
an LSB (Least Significant Bit) equal to 1˚C:
Temperature Digital Output
Binary Hex
+125˚C 0111 1101 7Dh
+25˚C 0001 1001 19h
+1˚C 0000 0001 01h
0˚C 0000 0000 00h
−1˚C 1111 1111 FFh
−25˚C 1110 0111 E7h
−55˚C 1100 1001 C9h
1.7 OPEN-DRAIN OUTPUTS
The SMBData, INT and T_CRIT_A outputs are open-drain
outputs and do not have internal pull-ups. A “high” level will
not be observed on these pins until pull-up current is pro-
vided from some external source, typically a pull-up resistor.
Choice of resistor value depends on many system factors
but, in general, the pull-up resistor should be as large as
possible. This will minimize any internal temperature reading
errors due to internal heating of the LM83. The maximum re-
sistance of the pull up, based on LM83 specification for High
Level Output Current, to provide a 2.1V high level, is 30k.
1.8 DIODE FAULT DETECTION
Before each external conversion the LM83 goes through an
external diode fault detection sequence. If a D+ input is
shorted to V
CC
or floating then the temperature reading will
be +127 ˚C, and its OPEN bit in the Status Register will be
set. If the T_CRIT setpoint is set to less than +127 ˚C then
the D+ inputs RTCRIT bit in the Status Register will be set
which will activate the T_CRIT_A output, if enabled. If a D+
is shorted to GND or D−, its temperature reading will be 0 ˚C
and its OPEN bit in the Status Register will not be set.
LM83

1.0 Functional Description (Continued)
1.9 COMMUNICATING with the LM83
There are 19 data registers in the LM83, selected by the
Command Register. At power-up the Command Register is
set to “00”, the location for the Read Local Temperature Reg-
ister. The Command Register latches the last location it was
set to. Reading the Status Register resets T_CRIT_A and
INT, so long as a temperature comparison does not signal a
fault (see
Sections 1.2 and 1.3
). All other registers are pre-
defined as read only or write only. Read and write registers
with the same function contain mirrored data.
AWrite to the LM83 will always include the address byte and
the command byte. A write to any register requires one data
byte.
Reading the LM83 can take place either of two ways:
1. If the location latched in the Command Register is cor-
rect (most of the time it is expected that the Command
Register will point to one of the Read Temperature Reg-
isters because that will be the data most frequently read
from the LM83), then the read can simply consist of an
address byte, followed by retrieving the data byte.
2. If the Command Register needs to be set, then an ad-
dress byte, command byte, repeat start, and another ad-
dress byte will accomplish a read.
The data byte has the most significant bit first. At the end of
a read, the LM83 can accept either Acknowledge or No Ac-
knowledge from the Master (No Acknowledge is typically
used as a signal for the slave that the Master has read its
last byte).
1.10 SERIAL INTERFACE ERROR RECOVERY
The LM83 SMBus lines will be reset to the SMBus idle state
if the SMBData or SMBCLK lines are held low for 40 ms or
more (t
TIMEOUT
). The LM83 may or may not reset the state of
DS101058-9
LM83
www.national.com11
1.0 Functional Description (Continued)
the serial interface logic if either of the SMBData or SMBCLK
lines are held low between 25 ms and 40 ms. TIMEOUT al-
lows a clean recovery in cases where the master may be re-
set while the LM83 is transmitting a low bit thus preventing
possible bus lock up.
Whenever the LM83 sees the start condition its serial inter-
face will reset to the beginning of the communication, thus
the LM83 will expect to see an address byte next. This sim-
plifies recovery when the master is reset while the LM83 is
transmitting a high.

4.0 Application Hints
The LM83 can be applied easily in the same way as other
integrated-circuit temperature sensors, and its remote diode
sensing capability allows it to be used in new ways as well.
It can be soldered to a printed circuit board, and because the
path of best thermal conductivity is between the die and the
pins, its temperature will effectively be that of the printed cir-
cuit board lands and traces soldered to the LM83’s pins. This
presumes that the ambient air temperature is almost the
same as the surface temperature of the printed circuit board;
if the air temperature is much higher or lower than the sur-
face temperature, the actual temperature of the of the LM83
die will be at an intermediate temperature between the sur-
face and air temperatures. Again, the primary thermal con-
duction path is through the leads, so the circuit board tem-
perature will contribute to the die temperature much more
strongly than will the air temperature.
To measure temperature external to the LM83’s die, use a
remote diode. This diode can be located on the die of a tar-
get IC, allowing measurement of the IC’s temperature, inde-
pendent of the LM83’s temperature. The LM83 has been op-
timized to measure the remote diode of a Pentium II
processor as shown in
Figure 9
.Adiscrete diode can also be
used to sense the temperature of external objects or ambient
air. Remember that a discrete diode’s temperature will be af-
fected, and often dominated, by the temperature of its leads.
Most silicon diodes do not lend themselves well to this appli-
cation. It is recommended that a 2N3904 transistor base
emitter junction be used with the collector tied to the base.
A diode connected 2N3904 approximates the junction avail-
able on a Pentium microprocessor for temperature measure-
ment. Therefore, the LM83 can sense the temperature of this
diode effectively.
3.1 ACCURACY EFFECTS OF DIODE NON-IDEALITY
FACTOR
The technique used in today’s remote temperature sensors
is to measure the change in V
BE
at two different operating
points of a diode. For a bias current ratio of N:1, this differ-
ence is given as:
where:
ηis the non-ideality factor of the process the diode is
manufactured on,
q is the electron charge,
k is the Boltzmann’s constant,
N is the current ratio,
T is the absolute temperature in ˚K.
The temperature sensor then measures V
BE
and converts
to digital data. In this equation, k and q are well defined uni-
versal constants, and N is a parameter controlled by the tem-
perature sensor. The only other parameter is η, which de-
pends on the diode that is used for measurement. Since
V
BE
is proportional to both ηand T, the variations in ηcan-
not be distinguished from variations in temperature. Since
the non-ideality factor is not controlled by the temperature
sensor, it will directly add to the inaccuracy of the sensor. For
the Pentium II Intel specifies a ±1% variation in ηfrom part
to part. As an example, assume a temperature sensor has
an accuracy specification of ±3 ˚C at room temperature of 25
˚C and the process used to manufacture the diode has a
non-ideality variation of ±1%. The resulting accuracy of the
temperature sensor at room temperature will be:
T
ACC
=±3˚C+(
±
1% of 298 ˚K) = ±6 ˚C.
The additional inaccuracy in the temperature measurement
caused by η, can be eliminated if each temperature sensor is
calibrated with the remote diode that it will be paired with.
3.2 PCB LAYOUT for MINIMIZING NOISE
In a noisy environment, such as a processor mother board,
layout considerations are very critical. Noise induced on
traces running between the remote temperature diode sen-
sor and the LM83 can cause temperature conversion errors.
The following guidelines should be followed:
1. Place a 0.1 µF power supply bypass capacitor as close
as possible to the V
CC
pin and the recommended 2.2 nF
capacitor as close as possible to the D+ and D− pins.
Make sure the traces to the 2.2nF capacitor are
matched.
2. The recommended 2.2nF diode bypass capacitor actu-
ally has a range of 200pF to 3.3nF. The average tem-
perature accuracy will not degrade. Increasing the ca-
pacitance will lower the corner frequency where
differential noise error affects the temperature reading
thus producing a reading that is more stable. Con-
versely, lowering the capacitance will increase the cor-
ner frequency where differential noise error affects the
temperature reading thus producing a reading that is
less stable.
3. Ideally, the LM83 should be placed within 10cm of the
Processor diode pins with the traces being as straight,
short and identical as possible. Trace resistance of 1
can cause as much as 1˚C of error.
4. Diode traces should be surrounded by a GND guard ring
to either side, above and below if possible. This GND
guard should not be between the D+ and D− lines. In the
event that noise does couple to the diode lines it would
be ideal if it is coupled common mode. That is equally to
the D+ and D− lines.(See
Figure 10
)
5. Avoid routing diode traces in close proximity to power
supply switching or filtering inductors.

4.0 Application Hints (Continued)
6. Avoid running diode traces close to or parallel to high
speed digital and bus lines. Diode traces should be kept
at least 2cm. apart from the high speed digital traces.
7. If it is necessary to cross high speed digital traces, the
diode traces and the high speed digital traces should
cross at a 90 degree angle.
8. The ideal place to connect the LM83’s GND pin is as
close as possible to the Processors GND associated
with the sense diode. For the Pentium II this would be
pin A14.
9. Leakage current between D+ and GND should be kept
to a minimum. One nano-ampere of leakage can cause
as much as 1˚C of error in the diode temperature read-
ing. Keeping the printed circuit board as clean as pos-
sible will minimize leakage current.
Noise coupling into the digital lines greater than 300mVp-p
(typical hysteresis), overshoot greater than 500mV above
V
CC
, and undershoot less than 500mV below GND, may pre-
vent successful SMBus communication with the LM83. SM-
Bus no acknowledge is the most common symptom, causing
unnecessary traffic on the bus. Although, the SMBus maxi-
mum frequency of communication is rather low (100kHz
max) care still needs to be taken to ensure proper termina-
tion within a system with multiple parts on the bus and long
printed circuit board traces. An R/C lowpass filter with a 3db
corner frequency of about 40MHz has been included on the
LM83’s SMBCLK input. Additional resistance can be added
in series with the SMBData and SMBCLK lines to further
help filter noise and ringing. Minimize noise coupling by
keeping digital traces out of switching power supply areas as
well as ensuring that digital lines containing high speed data
communications cross at right angles to the SMBData and
SMBCLK lines.
