PIN DESCRIPTIONS(1)

Pin Pin Number Type Description

Name(s) Number of Pins

This pin normally functions as a three-state input that controls the two LSBs of

the Serial Bus Address. When this pin is tied to VCC the two LSBs are 01.

When tied to Ground, the two LSBs are 10. If this pin is not connected, the two

LSBs are 00. This pin also functions as an output during NAND Tree tests

ADD/NTEST_OUT 1 1 Digital I/0 (board-level connectivity testing). To ensure proper NAND tree function, this

pin should not be tied directly to VCC or Ground. Instead, a series 5 kΩresistor

should be used to allow the test output function to work. Refer to NAND TREE

TESTS on NAND Tree testing.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The LM87 provides 7 analog inputs, an internal junction type temperature sensor, two remote junction

temperature sensing channels, a Delta-Sigma ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter), a DAC output, 2 fan speed

counters, WATCHDOG registers, and a variety of inputs and outputs on a single chip. A two wire SMBus™

Serial Bus interface is included. The LM87 performs power supply, temperature, fan control and fan monitoring

for personal computers.

The analog inputs are useful for monitoring several power supplies present in a typical computer. The LM87

includes internal resistor dividers that scale external Vccp1, Vccp2, +2.5V, +5.0 V, +12 V and internal +3.3V

power supply voltages to a 3/4 scale nominal ADC output. Two additional inputs, +AIN1 and +AIN2 (2.5V full

scale) are input directly with no resistive dividers. The LM87 ADC continuously converts the scaled inputs to 8-bit

digital words. Measurement of negative voltages (such as -5 V and -12 V power supplies) can be accommodated

with an external resistor divider applied to the +AIN1 or +AIN2 inputs. Internal and external temperature is

converted to 8-bit two's-complement digital words with a 1 °C LSB.

Fan inputs measure the period of tachometer pulses from the fans, providing a higher count for lower fan

speeds. The fan inputs are Schmitt-Trigger digital inputs with an acceptable range of 0 V to V+and a transition

level of approximately V+/2. Full scale fan counts are 255 (8-bit counter) and this represents a stopped or very

slow fan. Nominal speeds, based on a count of 153, are programmable from 1100 to 8800 RPM on FAN1 and

FAN2. Schmitt-Trigger input circuitry is included to accommodate slow rise and fall times. An 8 bit DAC with 0 V

to 2.5 V output voltage range can be used for control of fan speed.

The LM87 has several internal registers, as shown in Figure 5,Table 1 and REGISTERS AND RAM. These

include:

•Configuration Registers: Provide control and configuration.

•Channel Mode Register: Controls the functionality of the dual purpose input pins, scaling for internal Vcc

measurement, and operation of some IRQ inputs.

•Interrupt Status Registers: Two registers to provide status of each WATCHDOG limit or Interrupt event.

Reading the Status Registers clears any active bits.

•Interrupt Status Mirror Registers: Two registers to provide status of each WATCHDOG limit or Interrupt

event. Reading the Mirror Registers does not affect the status bits.

•Interrupt Mask Registers: Allows masking of individual Interrupt sources, as well as separate masking for

each of the two hardware Interrupt outputs.

•CI Clear Register: Allows transmitting a 20 ms (minimum) low pulse on the chassis intrusion pin (CI).

•VID/Fan Divisor Register: This register contains the state of the VID0-VID3 input lines and the divisor bits

for FAN1 and FAN2 inputs.

•VID4 Register: Contains the state of the VID4 input.

•Extended Mode Register: Enable and control the Alert Response operation.

•Hardware High Limit Registers: Registers at 13h, 14h, 17h and 18h where Internal and External

'Hardware' WATCHDOG temperature high limits are stored. These limits have Power On Default settings but

can be adjusted by the user. The values stored at 13h and 14h can be locked down by setting bits 1 and 2 of

Configuration Register 2.

•Value and Limit RAM: The DAC digital output, monitoring results (temperature, voltages, fan counts),

WATCHDOG limits, and Company/Stepping IDs are all contained in the Value RAM. The Value RAM consists

of a total of 33 bytes, addresses 19h - 3Fh, containing:

– byte 1 at address 19h contains the DAC Data Register

– locations 1Ah and 1Bh contain the WATCHDOG low limits for AIN1 and AIN2

– locations 1Ch - 1Fh are unassigned and do not have associated registers

– the next 10 bytes at addresses 20h -29h contain all of the results

– location 2Ah is unassigned and does not have an associated register

– the next 18 bytes at addresses 2Bh-3Ch are the remaining WATCHDOG limits

– the last 2 bytes at addresses 3Eh and 3Fh contain the Company ID and Stepping ID numbers,

respectively

SNAS034J –APRIL 2000–REVISED MARCH 2013

When the LM87 is started, it cycles through each measurement in sequence, and it continuously loops through

the sequence approximately once every 0.4 s. Each measured value is compared to values stored in

WATCHDOG, or Hardware High Limit registers. When the measured value violates the programmed limit the

LM87 will set a corresponding Interrupt in the Interrupt Status Registers. The hardware Interrupt line INT# is fully

programmable with separate masking of each Interrupt source. In addition, the Configuration Register has a

control bit to enable or disable the hardware Interrupt. Another hardware Interrupt line available, THERM# is

used to signal temperature specific events. Having a dedicated interrupt for these conditions allows specific

actions to be taken for thermal events. This output is enabled by setting bit 2 of Configuration Register 1.

The Chassis Intrusion input is designed to accept an active high signal from an external circuit that activates and

latches when the case is removed from the computer.

Serial Bus Interface

Figure 6. (a) Serial Bus Write to the Internal Address Register followed by the Data Byte

Figure 7. (b) Serial Bus Write to the Internal Address Register Only

Figure 8. (c) Serial Bus Read from a Register with the Internal Address Register Preset to Desired

Location

The Serial Bus control lines consist of the SMBData (serial data), SMBCLK (serial clock) and ADD (address) pin.

The LM87 can operate only as a slave. The SMBCLK line only controls the serial interface, all other clock

functions within LM87 such as the ADC and fan counters are done with a separate asynchronous internal clock.

When using the Serial Bus Interface, a write will always consist of the LM87 Serial Bus Interface Address byte,

followed by the Internal Address Register byte, then the data byte. There are two cases for a read:

1. If the Internal Address Register is known to already be at the desired Address, simply read the LM87 with the

Serial Bus Interface Address byte, followed by the data byte read from the LM87.

2. If the Internal Address Register value is unknown, or if it is not the desired value, write to the LM87 with the

Serial Bus Interface Address byte, followed by the Internal Address Register byte. Then restart the Serial

Communication with a Read consisting of the Serial Bus Interface Address byte, followed by the data byte

read from the LM87.

The Serial Bus address of the LM87 is set to 010 11(X)(Y). All bits, except for X and Y, are fixed and cannot be

changed. The values for X and Y are set by the state of the ADD pin on power up. If ADD is tied to ground the

value for XY is 10. If ADD is tied to Vcc XY will be set to 01. If ADD is not connected, XY will be 00. XY = 11 is

not a possible combination.

All of these communications are depicted in the Serial Bus Interface Timing Diagrams as shown in Figure 8. The

example shown corresponds to the ADD pin tied to Vcc, so XY=01 and the resulting LM87 address is 0101101.

Serial Bus Timeout can be initiated by holding the SMBCLK line low for greater than tTIMEOUT (35 ms max). Serial

Bus Timeout resets the serial bus interface circuitry to the idle state and readies the LM87 for a new serial bus

communication.

USING THE LM87

Power On

When power is first applied, the LM87 performs a “power on reset” on several of its registers. The power on

condition of the LM87's registers is shown in Table 1 Registers whose power on values are not shown have

power on conditions that are indeterminate (this includes the value RAM ,exclusive of the DAC data, and

WATCHDOG limits). When power is first applied the ADC is inactive. In most applications, the first action after

power on is to write WATCHDOG limits into the Value RAM.

Resets

All register values, except the Programmed DAC Output can be returned to their "power on" default values by

taking the RESET# input low for at least TBD ns or by performing a Configuration Register INITIALIZATION. The

Value RAM conversion results, and Value RAM WATCHDOG limits are not Reset and will be indeterminate

immediately after power on. If the Value RAM contains valid conversion results and/or Value RAM WATCHDOG

limits have been previously set, they will not be affected by a Configuration Register INITIALIZATION. The Power

On Reset, RESET# input, and Configuration Register INITIALIZATION, clear or initialize the following registers

(the initialized values are shown on Table I). Power On Reset also sets the Programmed DAC Output to full

scale (FFh) Hardware High Limit registers 13h, and 14h will only be returned to default values if the "Write Once"

bits in Configuration Register 2 have not been set:

• Configuration Registers 1 and 2

• Channel Mode Register

• Hardware High Limit Registers

• Interrupt Status Register 1

• Interrupt Status Register 2

• Interrupt Status Mirror Register 1

• Interrupt Status Mirror Register 2

• Interrupt Mask Register 1

• Interrupt Mask Register 2

• Chassis Intrusion Clear Register

• VID/Fan Divisor Register

• VID4 Register

• Extended Mode Register

Configuration Register INITIALIZATION is accomplished by setting Bit 7 of Configuration Register 1 high. This bit

automatically clears after being set.

Configuration Registers and Channel Mode Register

The Configuration Registers and Channel Mode Register control the LM87 operation. At power on, the ADC is

stopped and INT_Clear is asserted, clearing the INT# hardwire output. These registers start and stop the LM87,

enable and disable interrupt output, configure the operation of dual function inputs, and provide the Reset

functions described in Resets.

Bit 0 of Configuration Register 1 controls the monitoring loop of the LM87. Setting Bit 0 low stops the LM87

monitoring loop and puts the LM87 in shutdown mode, reducing power consumption. Serial Bus communication

can take place with any register in the LM87 although activity on the SMBData and SMBCLK lines will increase

shutdown current, up to as much as maximum rated supply current, while the activity takes place. Taking Bit 0

high starts the monitoring loop, described in more detail subsequently.

Bit 1 of Configuration Register 1 enables the INT# Interrupt output when this bit is taken high.

Bit 2 of Configuration Register 1 enables the THERM# Interrupt output when this bit is taken high.

Bit 3 of Configuration Register 1 clears the INT# output when set high, without affecting the contents of the

Interrupt Status Registers. The LM87 will stop monitoring. It will resume upon clearing of this bit.

Bit 4 of Configuration Register 1 provides an active low 20 ms (minimum) pulse at the RESET# output when set

high.

Bit 6 of Configuration Register 1 clears the THERM# output when set high, without affecting the contents of the

Interrupt Status Registers.

Bit 7 of Configuration Register 1 (the INITIALIZATION bit) resets the internal registers of the LM87 as described

in Resets.

Bit 7 of the CI_Clear Register provides an active low 20 ms (minimum) pulse at the CI# output pin when set high.

This is intended for resetting the Chassis Intrusion circuitry.

Bit 0 of Configuration Register 2 enables the INT# Interrupt output for THERM# events when set low. When this

bit is set high, THERM# error events will not affect the INT# output.

Bit 1 of Configuration Register 2 locks the value set in the Internal Temperature high limit register at 13h. The

value cannot be changed until a Power On Reset is performed.

Bit 2 of Configuration Register 2 locks the value set in the External Temperature high limit register at 14h. The

value cannot be changed until a Power On Reset is performed.

Bit 3 of Configuration Register 2 sets the THERM# output mode. When set to 0, the THERM# output functions in

default mode, when set to 1, THERM# operates in ACPI mode.

Bit 6 of Configuration Register 2, when set to 1, enables pin 21 as an active high (IRQ3) interrupt input. When

set to 0, this input is disabled as an IRQ interrupt.

Bit 7 of Configuration Register 2, when set to 1, enables pin 20 as an active high (IRQ4) interrupt input. When

set to 0, this input is disabled as an IRQ interrupt.

Bit 0 of the Channel Mode Register, when set to 1, configures pin 5 as AIN1. When set to 0, pin 5 is configured

as the FAN1 input.

Bit 1 of the Channel Mode Register, when set to 1, configures pin 6 as AIN2. When set to 0, pin 6 is configured

as the FAN2 input.

Bit 2 of the Channel Mode Register, when set to 0, configures pins 18 and 19 as +2.5V and VCCP2 voltage inputs.

When set to 1, pins 18 and 19 are configured as a second remote temperature sensing channel.

Bit 3 of the Channel Mode Register, when set to 0, sets the nominal voltage for internal VCC measurement to

3.3V. When set to 1, the nominal VCC range is 5V.

Bit 4 of the Channel Mode Register, when set to 1, enables pin 24 as an active low (IRQ0) interrupt input. When

set to 0, this input is disabled as an IRQ interrupt.

Bit 5 of the Channel Mode Register, when set to 1, enables pin 23 as an active low (IRQ1) interrupt input. When

set to 0, this input is disabled as an IRQ interrupt.

Bit 6 of the Channel Mode Register, when set to 1, enables pin 22 as an active low (IRQ2) interrupt input. When

set to 0, this input is disabled as an IRQ interrupt.

Bit 7 of the Channel Mode Register, when set to 1, configures pins 20 to 24 as interrupt inputs. When set to 0,

pins 20 to 24 are configured as processor voltage ID pins.

Starting Conversions

The monitoring function (Analog inputs, temperature, and fan speeds) in the LM87 is started by writing to

Configuration Register 1 and setting INT_Clear (Bit 3) low, and Start (bit 0) high. The LM87 then performs a

“round-robin” monitoring of all analog inputs, temperature, and fan speed inputs approximately once every 0.3 s.

The sequence of items being monitored is:

1. Check D1 connections

2. Check D2 connections

3. Internal Temperature

4. External D1 Temperature

5. External D2 Temperature

6. +2.5V

7. +Vccp1

8. Vcc 3.3V

9. Vcc 5.0V

10. +5Vin

11. +12Vin

12. +Vccp2

13. AIN1

14. AIN2

15. Fan 1

16. Fan 2

DACOut immediately changes after the DAC Data Register in the Value RAM has been updated. For a zero to

full scale transition DACOut will typically settle within 100 μsec of the stop by master in the write to the DAC Data

Configuration Register.

Reading Conversion Results

The conversion results are available in the Value RAM. Conversions can be read at any time and will provide the

result of the last conversion. Because the ADC stops, and starts a new conversion whenever it is read, reads of

any single value should not be done more often than once every 56 ms. When reading all values, allow at least

0.6 seconds between reading groups of values. Reading more frequently than once every 0.6 seconds can also

prevent complete updates of Interrupt Status Registers and Interrupt Output's.

A typical sequence of events upon power on of the LM87 would consist of:

1. Set WATCHDOG Limits

2. Set Interrupt Masks

3. Start the LM87 monitoring process

ANALOG INPUTS

All analog input voltages are digitized to 8-bits of resolution. For safety purposes, and to provide maximum

accuracy, a 510 Ωresistor should be placed in series with all analog voltage inputs. The resistors will limit the

possible current drawn from the power supplies in the event that circuit board traces are bridged, or accidentally

shorted during test. All analog inputs, except for AIN1 and AIN2, include internal resistor attenuators. The

theoretical LSB size, theoretical voltage input required for an ADC reading of 192 (3/4 scale) and 255 (full scale)

for each analog input is detailed in the table below:

Input LSB size Vin for 192 Vin for 255

2.5Vin 13 mV 2.5 V 3.320 V

3.3Vcc 17.2 mV 3.3 V 4.383 V

5Vin/Vcc 26 mV 5 V 6.641 V

12Vin 62.5 mV 12 V 15.93 V

Vccp1, Vccp2 14.1 mV 2.7 V 3.586 V

AIN1/AIN2 9.8 mV 1.875 V 2.49 V

Thus monitoring power supplies within a system can be easily accomplished by tying the Vccp, +2.5Vin, +5Vin

and +12Vin analog inputs to the corresponding system supply. Vcc of the LM87 will also be monitored. A digital

reading can be converted to a voltage by simply multiplying the decimal value of the reading by the LSB size.

For inputs with attenuators the input impedance is greater than 90 kΩ. AIN inputs do not have resistor

attenuators and are directly tied to the ADC, therefore having a much larger input impedance.

A negative power supply voltage can be applied to a AIN input through a resistor divider referenced to a known

positive DC voltage as shown in Figure 9. The resistor values shown in the table below for the circuit of Figure 9

will provide approximately 1.25 V at the AIN analog inputs of the LM87 for a nominal reading of 128.

Resistor values shown in Table 2 provide approximately 1.25V at the Vccp inputs.

The resistors were selected by setting R2 = 20 kΩand then calculating R1 using the following equation, ( VSis

the maximum negative input voltage, V+is the positive pullup voltage):

R1 = [(1.25V −VS) ÷ (V+−1.25V)] × 20 kΩ(1)

The maximum R1 can be is restricted by the DC input current of an AIN input.

Inputs with internal resistor dividers (+2.5Vin, +3.3Vin or +5Vin, +12Vin) can have voltage applied that exceeds

the power supply up to: 3.6 V for +2.5Vin, 4.6 V for +3.3Vin, 6.8 V for +5Vin, and 15 V for +12Vin. The AIN

inputs have a parasitic diode to the positive supply, so care should be taken not to forward bias this diode. All

analog inputs have internal diodes that clamp the input voltage when going below ground thus limiting the

negative analog input voltage range to −50 mV. Violating the analog input voltage range of any analog input has

no detrimental effect on the other analog inputs. External resistors should be included to limit input currents to

the values given in Absolute Maximum Ratings for Input Current At Any Pin whenever exceeding the analog

input voltage range, even on an un-powered LM87. Inputs with external attenuator networks will usually meet

these requirements. If it is possible for inputs without attenuators (such as AIN1 and AIN2) to be turned on while

LM87 is powered off, additional resistors of about 10 kΩshould be added in series with the inputs to limit the

input current.

Analog Input Interrupts

A WATCHDOG window comparison on the analog inputs can activate the INT# interrupt output. A converted

input voltage that is above its respective HIGH limit or less than or equal to its LOW limit will cause a flag to be

set in its Interrupt Status Register. This flag will activate the INT# output when its mask bit is set low. Mask bits

are found in the Interrupt Mask Registers. The Interrupt system is described in much greater detail in

WATCHDOG LIMIT COMPARISONS AND INTERRUPT STRUCTURE.

LAYOUT AND GROUNDING

A separate, low-impedance ground plane for analog ground, which provides a ground point for the GND pin,

voltage dividers and other analog components, will provide best performance, but is not mandatory. Analog

components such as voltage dividers should be located physically as close as possible to the LM87.

The power supply bypass, the parallel combination of 10 μF (electrolytic or tantalum) and 0.1 μF (ceramic)

bypass capacitors connected between pin 9 and ground, should also be located as close as possible to the

LM87.

FAN INPUTS

The FAN1 and FAN2 inputs accept signals from fans equipped with tachometer outputs. These are logic-level

inputs with an approximate threshold of V+/2. Signal conditioning in the LM87 accommodates the slow rise and

fall times typical of fan tachometer outputs. The maximum input signal range is 0 to V+. In the event these inputs

are supplied from fan outputs which exceed 0 to V+, either resistive division or diode clamping must be included

to keep inputs within an acceptable range, as shown in Figure 10. R2 is selected so that it does not develop

excessive voltage due to input leakage. R1 is selected based on R2 to provide a minimum input of 2 V and a

maximum of V+. R1 should be as low as possible to provide the maximum possible input up to V+for best noise

immunity. Alternatively, use a shunt reference or zener diode to clamp the input level.

If fans can be powered while the power to the LM87 is off, the LM87 inputs will provide diode clamping. Limit

input current to the Input Current at Any Pin specification shown in Absolute Maximum Ratings. In most cases,

open collector outputs with pull-up resistors inherently limit this current. If this maximum current could be

exceeded, either a larger pull up resistor should be used or resistors connected in series with the fan inputs.

The Fan Inputs gate an internal 22.5 kHz oscillator for one period of the Fan signal into an 8-bit counter

(maximum count = 255). The default divisor, located in the VID/Fan Divisor Register, is set to 2 (choices are 1, 2,

4, and 8) providing a nominal count of 153 for a 4400 rpm fan with two pulses per revolution. Typical practice is

to consider 70% of normal RPM a fan failure, at which point the count will be 219.

Determine the fan count according to:

Note that Fan 1 and Fan 2 Divisors are programmable via the VID/Fan Divisor Register.

Fan tachometer outputs that provide one pulse per revolution should use a divisor setting twice that of outputs

that provide two pulses per revolution. For example, a 4400 RPM fan that provides one pulse per revolution

should have the divisor set to 4 such that the nominal counter output is 153.

DAC OUTPUT

The LM87 provides an 8-bit DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) with an output range of 0 to 2.5 volts (9.80 mV

LSB). This DAC can be used in any way, but in most applications of the LM87 the DAC will be used for fan

control. Typically the DAC output would be amplified to provide the up to 12 volt drive required by the fan. At

power-on the DAC provides full output, insuring that full fan speed is the default condition. Care should be taken

such that the analog circuitry tied to this pin does not drive this pin above 2.5 V. Doing so will place the LM87 in

NAND tree test mode which will make all pins inputs. After the first SMBus communication with the LM87, it will

leave NAND tree test mode and all inputs/outputs will function normally.

LM87

SNAS034J –APRIL 2000–REVISED MARCH 2013

Fans do not start reliably at reduced voltages, so operation at a reduced voltage should be preceded by a brief

(typically 1 second) excursion to full operating voltage, then reduce the voltage. Most fans do not operate at all

below 5 to 7 volts. At those lower voltages the fan will simply consume current, dissipate power, and not operate,

and such conditions should be avoided.

The output of the amplifier can be configured to provide a high or low side pass transistor. A high side pass

transistor simplifies the coupling of tachometer outputs to the tachometer inputs of the LM87 since the fan

remains grounded. Low side drive will require AC coupling along with clamping at the LM87 input to prevent

negative excursions.

A typical circuit for fan drive is shown in Figure 16.

TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM

The LM87 temperature sensor(s) and ADC produce 8-bit two's-complement temperature data. One internal diode

junction temperature, and up to two external junction temperatures can be monitored. A digital comparator

compares the temperature data to the user-programmable High, Low, and Hardware Limit setpoints, and

Hysteresis values.

Internal Temperature Measurement

The LM87 internal temperature is monitored using a junction type temperature sensor.

Remote Temperature Measurement

The LM87 monitors the temperature of remote semiconductor devices using the p-n junction temperature sensing

principal. Up to two remote IC, diode or bipolar transistor temperatures can be monitored. The remote

measurement channels have been optimized to measure the remote diode of a Pentium II processor. A discrete

diode or bipolar transistor can also be used to sense the temperature of external objects or ambient air. The

2N3904 NPN transistor base emitter junction performs well in this type of application. When using a 2N3904, the

collector should be connected to the base to provide a device that closely approximates the characteristics of the

Pentium II PNP monitoring diode.

When using two external 2N3904 sensors, the D−inputs should be connected together. This provides the best

possible accuracy by compensating for differences between the 2N3904 and Pentium II sensors.

During each conversion cycle, the remote monitoring inputs perform an external diode fault detection sequence.

If the D+ input is shorted to VCC or floating then the temperature reading will be +127°C, and bit 6 or bit 7 of

Interrupt Status Register 2 will be set. If D+ is shorted to GND or D−, the temperature reading will be 0°C and bit

6 or 7 of Interrupt Status Register 2 will not be set.

Accuracy Effects of Diode Non-Ideality Factor

The technique used in today's remote temperature sensors is to measure the change in VBE at two different

operating points of a diode. For a bias current ratio of N:1, this difference 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. (4)

The temperature sensor then measures ΔVBE and converts to digital data. In this equation, k and q are well

defined universal constants, and N is a parameter controlled by the temperature sensor. The only other

parameter is η, which depends on the diode that is used for measurement. Since ΔVBE is proportional to both η

and T, the variations in ηcannot 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:

TACC = ± 3°C + (±1% of 298°K) = ±6°C (5)

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.

PCB Layout Recommendations 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 sensor and the LM87 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 VCC pin and the recommended 2.2

nF capacitor as close as possible to the D+ and D−pins. Make sure the traces to the 2.2 nF capacitor are

matched.

2. Ideally, the LM87 should be placed within 10 cm of the Processor diode pins with the traces being as

straight, short and identical as possible.

3. 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.

4. Avoid routing diode traces in close proximity to power supply switching or filtering inductors.

5. Avoid running diode traces close to or parallel to high speed digital and bus lines. Diode traces should be

kept at least 2 cm. apart from the high speed digital traces.

6. 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.

7. The ideal place to connect the LM87'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.

Figure 12. Recommended Diode Trace Layout

Noise on the digital lines, overshoot greater than VCC and undershoot less than GND, may prevent successful

SMBus communication with the LM87. SMBus no acknowledge is the most common symptom, causing

unnecessary traffic on the bus. Although, the SMBus maximum frequency of communication is rather low (400

kHz max) care still needs to be taken to ensure proper termination within a system with multiple parts on the bus

and long printed circuit board traces. A lowpass filter, in series with the SMBCLK and SMBData, has been added

internally to the LM87 for noise immunity. The lowpass filter has a typical cutoff frequency of 20MHz. Additional

noise immunity can be achieved by placing a resistor (4.7k to 5.1k Ohms) in series with the SMBCLK input as

close to the LM87 as possible. This resistance, in conjunction with the IC input capacitance, reduces high

frequency noise seen at the SMBCLK input and increases the reliability of communications.

WATCHDOG LIMIT COMPARISONS AND INTERRUPT STRUCTURE

Figure 13. Interrupt Structure

Figure 13 depicts the Interrupt Structure of the LM87. The LM87 can generate Interrupts as a result of each of its

internal WATCHDOG registers on the analog, temperature, and fan inputs.

External Interrupts can come from the following sources. While the label suggests a specific type or source of

Interrupt, this label is not a restriction of its usage, and it could come from any desired source:

•Chassis Intrusion: This is an active high interrupt from any type of device that detects and captures

chassis intrusion violations. This could be accomplished mechanically, optically, or electrically, and circuitry

external to the LM87 is expected to latch the event. The design of the LM87 allows this input to go high even

with no power applied to the LM87, and no clamping or other interference with the line will occur. This line

can also be pulled low for at least 20 ms by the LM87 to reset a typical Chassis Intrusion circuit. This reset is

activated by setting Bit 7 of CI Clear Register (46h) high. The bit in the Register is self-clearing.

•THERM# Input: This is an active low interrupt that would typically be generated by an external temperature

monitoring system. If the THERM# output is currently inactive and this input is pulled low by an external

circuit, the THERM# Interrupt Status bit will be set. In addition, the DAC output will be forced to full scale

operation while THERM# is pulled low by the external source. This allows a separate thermal sensor to

override the current fan speed setting in an overtemperature situation not sensed by the LM87. The DAC

setting will return to normal when the THERM# input is deactivated and the DAC setting register is unaffected

by the THERM# input condition.

•IRQ0-2: These are active low inputs from any type of external interrupt source. If enabled via the Channel

Mode Register (16h) the INT# output will be activated whenever these inputs are pulled low. Since there are

no dedicated ISR bits that correspond to the IRQ inputs, the VID status bits can be read to determine which

Product Folder Links: LM87

LM87

SNAS034J –APRIL 2000–REVISED MARCH 2013

www.ti.com

IRQ input is active. Similarly, to mask off these inputs as interrupt sources, they must be disabled via the

Channel Mode Register (16h).

•IRQ3-4: These are active high inputs from any type of external interrupt source. If enabled via the Channel

Mode Register (16h) and Configuration Register 2 (4Ah), the INT# output will be activated whenever these

inputs are driven high. Since there are no dedicated ISR bits that correspond to the IRQ inputs, the VID

status bits can be read to determine which IRQ input is active. Similarly, to mask off these inputs as interrupt

sources, they must be disabled via Configuration Register 2 (4Ah).

With the exception of the IRQ inputs and Hardware Temperature errors, all interrupts are indicated in the two

Interrupt Status Registers. The INT# output has two mask registers, and individual masks for each Interrupt. As

described in Configuration Registers and Channel Mode Register, the hardware Interrupt line can also be

enabled/disabled in the Configuration Register.

The THERM# interrupt output is dedicated to temperature and therefore is only related to internal and external

temperature readings, and the Low, High and Hardware temperature limits.

INT# Interrupts

The INT# system combines several groups of error signals together into a common output. These groups are;

IRQ inputs, Voltage and Fan inputs, Temperature Values, and the THERM# input. Each one of these groups or

channels functions a little differently.

The IRQ inputs provide the least complicated INT# operation. The IRQ input block is enabled by setting bit 7of

the Channel Mode Register (16h) to 0. Then the individual inputs are enabled by setting the corresponding IRQ

Enable bits to 1. If an IRQ input is enabled, and subsequently an input signal is asserted on that channel, the

INT# output will be asserted. During the interrupt service routine, the INT# output can be deasserted in a number

of ways. The INT#_Clear bit can be set during the ISR to prevent further interrupts from occurring. Then the IRQ

enable bit for the particular input can be cleared to prevent that channel from causing further interrupts. At this

point the INT#_Clear bit can be cleared and no further interrupts would be issued from this particular IRQ input.

Once the signal causing the IRQ has been removed, the enable bit for that IRQ channel could be set again.

Voltage, Fan, and Temperature High/Low errors are slightly more complex in their generation of INT# outputs. All

of these error bits are stored in the Interrupt Status Registers at 43h, 44h and the Interrupt Status Mirror

Registers at 4Ch and 4Dh. These inputs are gated by the Interrupt Mask Registers and processed by the INT#

state machine to generate the INT# output.

Voltage and Fan error conditions are processed as follows. Every time a round robin conversion cycle is

completed, the high/low limit comparisons for voltage and fan quantities are updated. If a quantity is outside the

limits, the appropriate Interrupt Status Register bit will be set. If the corresponding Interrupt Mask Register bit is

0, then the Status Bit will cause the INT# output to be asserted. Reading the Interrupt Status register will clear

the Status Bit and cause the INT# output to be deasserted. If the parameter is still outside the limits on the next

conversion, the status bit will again be set and it will again cause an interrupt. If, on a subsequent conversion

cycle, the parameter returns within the High/Low limits before the Interrupt Status Registers are read, the

Interrupt Status bit will remain set and the INT# output will remain asserted.

Temperature High/Low errors are somewhat more complicated. The internal temperature value is compared with

the Internal Temperature High and Low Limits in Registers 39h and 3Ah (and with the Internal Temperature

Hardware High Limit in Registers 13h and 17h, see the next paragraph for details). We will begin with the

temperature value initially within the High/Low limits and the corresponding Interrupt Mask Bit = 0. If the

temperature value rises above the high limit, or below the low limit, the corresponding Interrupt Status Register

bit will be set. This will then cause an INT# to be asserted. Reading the Interrupt Status Register will clear the

status bit and cause INT# to be deasserted. If the temperature value remains above the high limit during

subsequent conversion cycles, the Interrupt Status Bit will again be set, but no new INT# will be generated from

this source. INT# may be reasserted if:

• The temperature then transitions up or down through the opposite limit to that originally exceeded.

• The original limit crossed is programmed to a new value and on a subsequent conversion cycle, the

converted temperature is outside the new limit. This would cause the corresponding Interrupt Status Bit to be

set, causing a new INT# event.

• An interrupt is generated by any other source, including any other temperature error or the THERM# pin

being pulled low by an external signal.

The third group of signals that will generate INT# outputs are Hardware Temperature errors, caused by

temperatures exceeding the hardware limits stored at 13h, 14h, 17h, and 18h.The internal temperature value is

compared with the Internal Temperature Hardware High Limits in Registers 13h and 17h. The external

temperature values are compared with the External Temperature Hardware High Limits in Registers 14h and

18h. The limits in Register 14h and 18h apply equally to the values of both D1 and D2. Both temperature values

are individually compared with both limit values.

The only difference between the different Hardware Limit registers is that by writing a 1 into Bit 1 of register 4Ah,

the contents of register 13h will be locked and cannot be reprogrammed. Similarly, the contents of register 14h

will be locked by writing a 1 into Bit 2 of register 4Ah. The registers can only be reprogrammed if Bit 7 of

Configuration Register 1 (40h) is written to re-Initialize the chip, or power is removed and reapplied. This feature

is provided to prevent software from unintentionally overwriting these important limits.

Again, we will assume that the temperature initially is below the Hardware Temperature setpoints. If the

temperature on a subsequent conversion is above any of the values stored in the Hardware Temperature Limit

registers, the INT# output will be asserted. Errors caused by exceeding these limits cannot be cleared by reading

the Interrupt Status Registers, and the INT# condition can only be cleared by clearing the Thermal INT# Enable

bit, by setting the INT#_Clear bit or by disabling INT# by clearing the INT#_Enable bit.

The final INT# source to consider is the THERM# input/output. THERM# can be pulled low by an external source

to generate an INT# output. Pulling THERM# low with external circuitry sets the corresponding THERM#

Interrupt Status Bit. If this bit is not masked, it will cause INT# to be asserted. Reading the Interrupt Status

Registers will clear the status bit and will cause INT# to be deasserted. If the external signal continues to pull

THERM# low, the Interrupt Status Bit will be reset at the completion of the next conversion cycle. This will again

assert the INT# output. Note that if the external circuitry pulls THERM# low, but this pin is already low due to the

THERM# output being active, this external signal cannot be sensed, and the THERM# Interrupt Status Bit will not

be set.

Interrupt Status Registers: Reading a Status Register will return the contents of the Register, and reset the

cleared Register. Allow at least 600 ms to allow all Registers to be updated between reads. In summary, the

Interrupt Status Register clears upon being read, and requires at least 300 ms to be updated. When the Interrupt

Status Register clears, the hardware interrupt line will also clear until the Registers are updated by the monitoring

loop.

Interrupt Status Mirror Registers: The Interrupt Status Mirror Registers provide the same information that the

Interrupt Status Registers do. Reading the Status Mirror Registers, however, does not reset the status bits.

Interrupt Mask Registers: All sources which are combined to form the INT# output can be individually masked

via the two Interrupt Mask Registers at 43h, and 44h. The bits in the mask registers correspond directly to the

bits in the Interrupt Status Registers. Setting an Interrupt Mask bit inhibits that Interrupt Status Bit from

generating an INT# interrupt. Clearing a mask bit allows the corresponding status bit, if set, to generate INT#

outputs. Interrupt Status Bits will be set and cleared regardless of the state of corresponding Interrupt Mask Bits,

the mask bits merely allow or prevent the status bits from contributing to the generation of INT# outputs.

Enabling and Clearing INT#: The hardware Interrupt line (INT#) is enabled by setting the INT#_Enable bit at Bit

1 of Configuration Register 1. The INT# output can be cleared by setting the INT#_Clear bit which is Bit 3 of

Configuration Register 1. When this bit is high, the LM87 monitoring loop will stop. It will resume when the bit is

low.

Thermal Interrupt Mask: In some applications, the user may want to prevent all thermal error conditions from

causing INT# interrupts. The Thermal INT# Mask bit (Bit 0 of Configuration Register 2) is provided for this

purpose. The THERM# output discussed later is not affected by the status of the Thermal INT# Mask bit and will

function normally in response to temperature error conditions. If the Thermal INT# Mask bit is set, the interrupt

status for internal and external temperature, the THERM# input, and the hardware temperature error

comparisons, will continue to be updated every conversion cycle, but will not have any effect on the INT# output.

SMBALERT#

The INT# I/O pin can alternatively be configured as an SMBALERT# output in conjunction with the SMBALERT#

protocol. In this mode of operation, rather than connecting the INT# /ALERT# pin to the system interrupt inputs, it

will be connected to the SMBALERT# input pin on the SMBus host. When an INT#/ALERT# type error condition

is detected, this pin will notify the SMBus host that an SMBus device has an SMBALERT# condition. The SMBus

host will then access the bus using the Alert Response Address (ARA) which is 0001100b. Only the device

asserting the SMBALERT# signal will respond to the ARA, thus providing automatic identification of the device

generating the SMBALERT#. After acknowledging the slave address, the LM87 will disengage its SMBALERT#

output signal. For more information on the SMBALERT# protocol, please refer to the System Management Bus

specification. SMBALERT# is enabled by setting Bit 6 of the Alert Response Enable register at 80h.

THERM# Interrupts

The THERM# I/O pin is dedicated to temperature related error conditions. It includes a built in pull-up resistor to

minimize external components. The THERM# Enable bit, Bit 2 of Configuration Register 1 is used to enable the

THERM# output. The THERM# Clear bit, Bit 6 of Configuration Register 1, when set to 1, clears the THERM#

output. TheTHERM# output operates in two different modes when processing thermal error conditions, Default

Mode and ACPI Mode, selected by the state of the THERM# Interrupt Mode bit at Bit 3 of Configuration Register

2 (0 = Default, 1 = ACPI).

Default Mode:The THERM# ouput operates using a simple comparison of temperature with the corresponding

limit values. If any temperature value is outside a corresponding limit in registers 37h, 39h, 2Bh, 38h, 3Ah, or

2Ch, the THERM# output will go low. The output will remain asserted until it is reset by: reading Interrupt Status

THERM# is cleared by reading the status register, it may be set again after the next temperature reading, if the

temperature is still above the high limit. When THERM# is cleared by setting THERM#CLR, it cannot be re-

asserted until this bit is cleared. If THERM# is activated because a temperature value exceeds one of the

hardware limits in registers 13h, 14h, 17h, or 18h, or exceeds 126 degrees C, AOUT will be forced to the full

scale value. In this case, the THERM# output can only be cleared by setting the THERM#CLR bit or if the

temperature returns to 5 degrees below the hardware limit. Regardless of how THERM# is cleared, AOUT will be

maintained at the full scale value until the temperature returns to 5 degrees below the hardware limit that was

exceeded.

ACPI Mode: In ACPI mode, THERM# is only activated when temperatures exceed the high limit settings in

registers 13h, 14h, 17h, 18h or the safety limit of 126 degrees C. It will be de-asserted if the temperature returns

at least 5 degrees below the limit. While THERM# is asserted, AOUT will be driven to full scale to provide

maximum cooling from a variable speed fan.

THERM# also functions as an input. When an external active low signal is applied to THERM#, it will set the

THERM# input Interrupt Status Bit and will cause AOUT to go to full scale, regardless of the state of the

THERM# Input Interrupt Mask bit. If the Mask bit is cleared and INT# is enabled, an INT# will be generated. The

THERM# input function is not affected by the THERM# operating mode.

Fault Queue

A Fault Queue is incorporated in the external temperature monitoring sections of the LM87. This serves as a filter

to minimize false triggering caused by short duration or transient temperature events. The Fault Queue adds a

counter between the comparison logic and the Interrupt Status Register and THERM# output circuitry. The Fault

Queue has a depth of 3, so three consecutive readings outside of limits is required to set an external

temperature Interrupt Status Bit or generate a THERM# output. When the monitored temperature is returning

within limits, only one conversion within limits is required to clear the status bit. In other words, the fault queue is

only active when travelling outside of the limits, not when returning back within limits.

RESET# I/O

RESET# is intended to provide a master reset to devices connected to this line. Setting Bit 4 in Configuration

RESET# capability is not needed it can be used for any type of digital control that requires a 20 ms (mimimum)

active low, open-drain output.

RESET# operates as an input when not activated by Configuration Register 1. Setting this line low will reset all of

the registers in the LM87 to their power on default state. All Value RAM locations will not be affected except for

the DAC Data Register.

NAND TREE TESTS

A NAND tree is provided in the LM87 for Automated Test Equipment (ATE) board level connectivity testing.

DACOut/NTEST_IN, INT#, THERM#, V+and GND pins are excluded from NAND tree testing. Taking

DACOut/NTEST_IN high during power up activates the NAND Tree test mode. After the first SMBus access to

the LM87 the NAND Tree test mode is terminated and cannot be reactivated without repeating the power up

sequence. To perform a NAND tree test, all pins included in the NAND tree should be driven to 1 forcing the

ADD/NTEST_OUT high. Each individual pin starting with SMBData and concluding with RESET# (excluding

DACOut/NTEST_IN, INT#, THERM#, V+and GND) can be taken low with the resulting toggle observed on the

ADD/NTEST_OUT pin. Allow for a typical propagation delay of 500 ns.

Note: Setting all ones to the high limits for voltages and fans (0111 1111 binary for temperature) means

interrupts will never be generated except the case when voltages go below the low limits.

For voltage input high limits, the device is doing a greater than comparison. For low limits, however, it is doing a

less than or equal to comparison.

Typical Application

In this PC application the LM87 monitors temperature, fan speed for 2 fans, and 6 power

supply voltages. It also monitors an optical chassis intrusion detector.

The LM87 provides a DAC output that can be used to control fan speed.

(2) Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability

information and additional product content details.

TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.

Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that

lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.

Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between

the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.

Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight

in homogeneous material)

(3) MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.

(4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.

(5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation

of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.

(6) Lead/Ball Finish - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead/Ball Finish values may wrap to two lines if the finish

value exceeds the maximum column width.
