SPI/MICROWIRE 13-Bit Plus Sign Temperature Sensor
General Description
The LM71 is a low-power, high-resolution digital temperature
sensor with an SPI and MICROWIRE compatible interface,
available in the 5-pin SOT23 or the 6-pin LLP (no pull back)
package. The host can query the LM71 at any time to read
temperature. Its low operating current is useful in systems
where low power consumption is critical.
The LM71 has 13-bit plus sign temperature resolution
(0.03125°C per LSB) while operating over a temperature
range of −40°C to +150°C.
The LM71’s 2.65V to 5.5V supply voltage range, fast conver-
sion rate, low supply current, and simple SPI interface make
it ideal for a wide range of applications. The LM71Q is avail-
able in the 5-lead SOT23 package only.

Note 6: The LM71 will operate properly over the V+ supply voltage range of 2.65V to 5.5V.
Note 7: Typicals are at TA = 25°C and represent most likely parametric norm.
Note 8: Limits are guaranteed to National's AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).
Note 9: This specification is provided only to indicate how often temperature data is updated. The LM71 can be read at any time without regard to conversion
state (and will yield last conversion result). A conversion in progress will not be interrupted. The output shift register will be updated at the completion of the read
and a new conversion restarted.
Note 10: For best accuracy, minimize output loading. Higher sink currents can affect sensor accuracy with internal heating. This can cause an error of 0.64°C at
full rated sink current and saturation voltage based on junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.

1.0 Functional Description
The LM71 temperature sensor incorporates a temperature
sensor and 13-bit plus sign ΔΣ ADC (Delta-Sigma Analog-to-
Digital Converter). Compatibility of the LM71's three wire
serial interface with SPI and MICROWIRE allows simple com-
munications with common microcontrollers and processors.
Shutdown mode can be used to optimize current drain for dif-
ferent applications. A Manufacture's/Device ID register iden-
tifies the LM71 as National Semiconductor product.
1.1 POWER UP AND POWER DOWN
The LM71 always powers up in a known state. The power up
default condition is continuous conversion mode. Immediately
after power up the LM71 will output an erroneous code until
the first temperature conversion has completed.
When the supply voltage is less than about 1.6V (typical), the
LM71 is considered powered down. As the supply voltage
rises above the nominal 1.6V power up threshold, the internal
registers are reset to the power up default state described
above.
1.2 SERIAL BUS INTERFACE
The LM71 operates as a slave and is compatible with SPI or
MICROWIRE bus specifications. Data is clocked out on the
falling edge of the serial clock (SC), while data is clocked in
on the rising edge of SC. A complete transmit/receive com-
munication will consist of 32 serial clocks. The first 16 clocks
comprise the transmit phase of communication, while the
second 16 clocks are the receive phase.
When CS is high SI/O will be in TRI-STATE. Communication
should be initiated by taking chip select (CS) low. This should
not be done when SC is changing from a low to high state.
Once CS is low the serial I/O pin (SI/O) will transmit the first
bit of data. The master can then read this bit with the rising
edge of SC. The remainder of the data will be clocked out by
the falling edge of SC. CS can be taken high at any time during
the transmit phase. If CS is brought low in the middle of a
conversion the LM71 will complete the conversion and the
output shift register will be updated after CS is brought back
high.
The receive phase of a communication starts after 16 SC pe-
riods. CS can remain low for 32 SC cycles. The LM71 will read
the data available on the SI/O line on the rising edge of the
serial clock. Input data is to an 8-bit shift register. The part will
detect the last eight bits shifted into the register. The receive
phase can last up to 16 SC periods. All ones must be shifted
in order to place the part into shutdown. All zeros must be
shifted in order to place the LM71 into continuous conversion
mode. Only the following codes should be transmitted to the
LM71:
00 hex for continuous conversion
FF hex for shutdown
Another code may place the part into a test mode. Test modes
are used by National Semiconductor to thoroughly test the
function of the LM71 during production testing. Only eight bits
have been defined above since only the last eight transmitted
are detected by the LM71, before CS is taken HIGH.
The following communication can be used to determine the
Manufacturer's/Device ID and then immediately place the part
into continuous conversion mode. With CS continuously low:
Read 16 bits of temperature data
Write 16 bits of data commanding shutdown
Read 16 bits of Manufacture's/Device ID data
Write 8 to 16 bits of data commanding Conversion Mode
Take CS HIGH.
Note that 300 ms will have to pass for a conversion to com-
plete before the LM71 actually transmits temperature data.

LM71/LM71Q
1.3 TEMPERATURE DATA FORMAT
Temperature data is represented by a 14-bit, two's comple-
ment word with an LSB (Least Significant Bit) equal to
0.03125°C:
Temperature Digital Output
Binary Hex
+150°C 0100 1011 0000 0011 4B03
+125°C 0011 1110 1000 0011 3E83
+25°C 0000 1100 1000 0011 0C83
+0.03125°C 0000 0000 0000 0111 0007
0°C 0000 0000 0000 0011 0003
−0.03125°C 1111 1111 1111 1111 FFFF
−25°C 1111 0011 1000 0011 F383
−40°C 1110 1100 0000 0011 EC03
The first data byte is the most significant byte with most sig-
nificant bit first, permitting only as much data as necessary to
be read to determine temperature condition. For instance, if
the first four bits of the temperature data indicate an overtem-
perature condition, the host processor could immediately take
action to remedy the excessive temperatures.
1.4 SHUTDOWN MODE/MANUFACTURER'S ID
Shutdown mode is enabled by writing XX FF to the LM71 as
shown in Figure 7c. The serial bus is still active when the
LM71 is in shutdown. When in shutdown mode the LM71 al-
ways will output 1000 0000 0000 1111. This is the
manufacturer's/Device ID information. The first 5-bits of the
field (1000 0XXX) are reserved for manufacturer's ID.
1.5 INTERNAL REGISTER STRUCTURE
The LM71 has three registers, the temperature register, the
configuration register and the manufacturer's/device identifi-
cation register. The temperature and manufacturer's/device
identification registers are read only. The configuration regis-
ter is write only.
1.5.1 Configuration Register

(Write Only):
D15 D14 D13 D12 D11 D10 D9 D8 D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0
X X X X X X X X Shutdown
D0–D15 set to XX FF hex enables shutdown mode.
D0–D15 set to 00 00 hex sets Continuous conversion mode.
Note: setting D0-D15 to any other values may place the LM70 into a manufacturer's test mode, upon which the LM71 will stop
responding as described. These test modes are to be used for National Semiconductor production testing only. See Section 1.2
Serial Bus Interface for a complete discussion.

3.0 Application Hints
To get the expected results when measuring temperature with
an integrated circuit temperature sensor like the LM71, it is
important to understand that the sensor measures its own die
temperature. For the LM71, the best thermal path between
the die and the outside world is through the LM71's pins. In
the SOT23 package, all the pins on the LM71 will have an
equal effect on the die temperature. Because the pins repre-
sent a good thermal path to the LM71 die, the LM71 will
provide an accurate measurement of the temperature of the
printed circuit board on which it is mounted. There is a less
efficient thermal path between the plastic package and the
LM71 die. If the ambient air temperature is significantly dif-
ferent from the printed circuit board temperature, it will have
a small effect on the measured temperature.
In probe-type applications, the LM71 can be mounted inside
a sealed-end metal tube, and can then be dipped into a bath
or screwed into a threaded hole in a tank. As with any IC, the
LM71 and accompanying wiring and circuits must be kept in-
sulated and dry, to avoid leakage and corrosion. This is
especially true if the circuit may operate at cold temperatures
where condensation can occur. Printed-circuit coatings and
varnishes such as Humiseal and epoxy paints or dips are of-
ten used to insure that moisture cannot corrode the LM71 or
its connections.
