General Description  
The LM99 is an 11-bit remote diode temperature sensor with  
a 2-wire System Management Bus (SMBus) serial interface.  
The LM99 accurately measures: (1) its own temperature and  
(2) the temperature of a remote diode-connected transistor  
such as the 2N3904 or a thermal diode commonly found on  
Graphics Processor Units (GPU), Computer Processor Units  
(CPU or other ASICs. The LM99 remote diode temperature  
sensor shifts the temperature from the remote sensor down  
16˚C and operates on that shifted temperature:

1.0 Functional Description  
The LM99 temperature sensor incorporates a delta VBE  
based temperature sensor using a Local or Remote diode  
and a 10-bit plus sign ∆Σ ADC (Delta-Sigma Analog-to-  
Digital Converter). The LM99 is compatible with the serial  
SMBus version 2.0 two-wire interface. Digital comparators  
compare the measured Local Temperature (LT) to the Local  
High (LHS), Local Low (LLS) and Local T_CRIT (LCS) user-  
programmable temperature limit registers. The measured  
Remote Temperature (RT) is digitally compared to the Re-  
mote High (RHS), Remote Low (RLS) and Remote T_CRIT  
(RCS) user-programmable temperature limit registers. Acti-  
vation of the ALERT output indicates that a comparison is  
greater than the limit preset in a T_CRIT or HIGH limit  
register or less than the limit preset in a LOW limit register.  
The T_CRIT_A output responds as a true comparator with  
built in hysteresis. The hysteresis is set by the value placed  
in the Hysteresis register (TH). Activation of T_CRIT_A oc-  
curs when the temperature is above the T_CRIT setpoint.  
T_CRIT_A remains activated until the temperature goes be-  
low the setpoint calculated by T_CRIT − TH. The hysteresis  
register impacts both the remote temperature and local tem-  
perature readings.  
20053839  
FIGURE 2. Conversion Rate Effect on Power Supply  
Current  
The LM99 may be placed in a low power consumption  
(Shutdown) mode by setting the RUN/STOP bit found in the  
Configuration register. In the Shutdown mode, the LM99’s  
SMBus interface remains while all circuitry not required is  
turned off.  
1.2 THE ALERT OUTPUT  
The LM99’s ALERT pin is an active-low open-drain output  
that is triggered by a temperature conversion that is outside  
the limits defined by the temperature setpoint registers. Re-  
set of the ALERT output is dependent upon the selected  
method of use. The LM99’s ALERT pin is versatile and will  
accommodate three different methods of use to best serve  
the system designer: as a temperature comparator, as a  
temperature–based interrupt flag, and as part of an SMBus  
ALERT system. The three methods of use are further de-  
scribed below. The ALERT and interrupt methods are differ-  
ent only in how the user interacts with the LM99.  
The Local temperature reading and setpoint data registers  
are 8-bits wide. The format of the 11-bit remote temperature  
data is a 16-bit left justified word. Two 8-bit registers, high  
and low bytes, are provided for each setpoint as well as the  
temperature reading. Two offset registers (RTOLB and  
RTOHB) can be used to compensate for non–ideality error,  
discussed further in Section 4.1 DIODE NON-IDEALITY.  
The remote temperature reading reported is adjusted by  
subtracting from, or adding to, the actual temperature read-  
ing the value placed in the offset register.  
Each temperature reading (LT and RT) is associated with a  
T_CRIT setpoint register (LCS, RCS), a HIGH setpoint reg-  
ister (LHS and RHS) and a LOW setpoint register (LLS and  
RLS). At the end of every temperature reading, a digital  
comparison determines whether that reading is above its  
HIGH or T_CRIT setpoint or below its LOW setpoint. If so,  
the corresponding bit in the STATUS REGISTER is set. If the  
ALERT mask bit is not high, any bit set in the STATUS  
REGISTER, with the exception of Busy (D7) and OPEN  
(D2), will cause the ALERT output to be pulled low. Any  
temperature conversion that is out of the limits defined by the  
temperature setpoint registers will trigger an ALERT. Addi-  
tionally, the ALERT mask bit in the Configuration register  
must be cleared to trigger an ALERT in all modes.  
1.1 CONVERSION SEQUENCE  
The LM99 takes approximately 31.25 ms to convert the  
Local Temperature (LT), Remote Temperature (RT), and to  
update all of its registers. Only during the conversion pro-  
cess the busy bit (D7) in the Status register (02h) is high.  
These conversions are addressed in a round–robin se-  
quence. The conversion rate may be modified by the Con-  
version Rate Register (04h). When the conversion rate is  
modified a delay is inserted between conversions; however,  
the actual conversion time remains at 31.25 ms. Different  
conversion rates will cause the LM99 to draw different  
amounts of supply current as shown in Figure 2.  
1.2.1 ALERT Output as a Temperature Comparator  
When the LM99 is implemented in a system in which it is not  
serviced by an interrupt routine, the ALERT output could be  
used as a temperature comparator. Under this method of  
use, once the condition that triggered the ALERT to go low is  
no longer present, the ALERT is de-asserted (Figure 3). For  
example, if the ALERT output was activated by the compari-  
>
son of LT  
LHS, when this condition is no longer true the  
ALERT will return HIGH. This mode allows operation without  
software intervention, once all registers are configured dur-  
ing set-up. In order for the ALERT to be used as a tempera-  
ture comparator, bit D0 (the ALERT configure bit) in the  
FILTER and ALERT CONFIGURE REGISTER (xBF) must  
be set high. This is not the power on default default state.

FIGURE 4. ALERT Output as an Interrupt Temperature  
Response Diagram  
FIGURE 3. ALERT Comparator Temperature Response  
Diagram  
1.2.3 ALERT Output as an SMBus ALERT  
When the ALERT output is connected to one or more ALERT  
outputs of other SMBus compatible devices and to a master,  
an SMBus alert line is created. Under this implementation,  
the LM99’s ALERT should be operated using the ARA (Alert  
Response Address) protocol. The SMBus 2.0 ARA protocol,  
defined in the SMBus specification 2.0, is a procedure de-  
signed to assist the master in resolving which part generated  
an interrupt and service that interrupt while impeding system  
operation as little as possible.  
1.2.2 ALERT Output as an Interrupt  
The LM99’s ALERT output can be implemented as a simple  
interrupt signal when it is used to trigger an interrupt service  
routine. In such systems it is undesirable for the interrupt flag  
to repeatedly trigger during or before the interrupt service  
routine has been completed. Under this method of operation,  
during a read of the STATUS REGISTER the LM99 will set  
the ALERT mask bit (D7 of the Configuration register) if any  
bit in the STATUS REGISTER is set, with the exception of  
Busy (D7) and OPEN (D2). This prevents further ALERT  
triggering until the master has reset the ALERT mask bit, at  
the end of the interrupt service routine. The STATUS REG-  
ISTER bits are cleared only upon a read command from the  
master (see Figure 4) and will be re-asserted at the end of  
the next conversion if the triggering condition(s) persist(s). In  
order for the ALERT to be used as a dedicated interrupt  
signal, bit D0 (the ALERT configure bit) in the FILTER and  
ALERT CONFIGURE REGISTER (xBF) must be set low.  
This is the power–on default state.  
The SMBus alert line is connected to the open-drain ports of  
all devices on the bus thereby AND’ing them together. The  
ARA is a method by which with one command the SMBus  
master may identify which part is pulling the SMBus alert line  
LOW and prevent it from pulling it LOW again for the same  
triggering condition. When an ARA command is received by  
all devices on the bus, the devices pulling the SMBus alert  
line LOW, first, send their address to the master and second,  
release the SMBus alert line after recognizing a successful  
transmission of their address.  
The SMBus 1.1 and 2.0 specification state that in response  
to an ARA (Alert Response Address) “after acknowledging  
the slave address the device must disengage its SMBALERT  
pulldown”. Furthermore, “if the host still sees SMBALERT  
low when the message transfer is complete, it knows to read  
the ARA again”. This SMBus “disengaging of SMBALERT”  
requirement prevents locking up the SMBus alert line. Com-  
petitive parts may address this “disengaging of SMBALERT”  
requirement differently than the LM99 or not at all. SMBus  
systems that implement the ARA protocol as suggested for  
the LM99 will be fully compatible with all competitive parts.  
The following sequence describes the response of a system  
that uses the ALERT output pin as a interrupt flag:  
1. Master Senses ALERT low  
2. Master reads the LM99 STATUS REGISTER to deter-  
mine what caused the ALERT  
3. LM99 clears STATUS REGISTER, resets the ALERT  
HIGH and sets the ALERT mask bit (D7 in the Configu-  
ration register).  
4. Master attends to conditions that caused the ALERT to  
be triggered. The fan is started, setpoint limits are ad-  
justed, etc.  
The LM99 fulfills “disengaging of SMBALERT” by setting the  
ALERT mask bit (bit D7 in the Configuration register, at  
address 09h) after successfully sending out its address in  
response to an ARA and releasing the ALERT output pin.  
Once the ALERT mask bit is activated, the ALERT output pin  
will be disabled until enabled by software. In order to enable  
the ALERT the master must read the STATUS REGISTER,  
at address 02h, during the interrupt service routine and then  
reset the ALERT mask bit in the Configuration register to 0 at  
the end of the interrupt service routine.  
5. Master resets the ALERT mask (D7 in the Configuration  
register).  
The following sequence describes the ARA response proto-  
col.

ture conversion(s) is/are below the T_CRIT setpoint, as  
shown in Figure 6.

2. Master sends a START followed by the Alert Response

3. Alerting Device(s) send ACK.

their address, alerting devices sense whether their ad-  
dress has been transmitted correctly. (The LM99 will

its complete address has been transmitted successfully.)

1.4 POWER ON RESET DEFAULT STATES  
Bit D0 (the ALERT configure bit) in the FILTER and ALERT  
CONFIGURE REGISTER (xBF) must be set low in order for  
the LM99 to respond to the ARA command.  
LM99 always powers up to these known default states. The  
LM99 remains in these states until after the first conversion.  
1. Command Register set to 00h  
2. Local Temperature set to 0˚C  
The ALERT output can be disabled by setting the ALERT  
mask bit, D7, of the Configuration register. The power on  
default is to have the ALERT mask bit and the ALERT  
configure bit low.  
3. Remote Diode Temperature set to 0˚C until the end of  
the first conversion.  
4. Status Register set to 00h.  
5. Configuration register set to 00h; ALERT enabled, Re-

to 16 conv./sec.  
1.5 SMBus INTERFACE  
20053829  
The LM99 operates as a slave on the SMBus, so the  
SMBCLK line is an input and the SMBData line is bi-  
directional. The LM99 never drives the SMBCLK line and it  
does not support clock stretching. According to SMBus  
specifications, the LM99 has a 7-bit slave address. All bits A6  
through A0 are internally programmed and can not be  
changed by software or hardware. The LM99 and LM99-1  
have the following slave addresses:  
FIGURE 5. ALERT Output as an SMBus ALERT  
Temperature Response Diagram  
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  
Register can be read to determine which event caused the  
alarm. A bit in the Status Register 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 after every Local and  
Remote temperature conversion. T_CRIT_A follows the  
state of the comparison, it is reset when the temperature falls  
below the setpoint RCS-TH. The Status Register flags are

1.8 DIODE FAULT DETECTION  
The LM99 is equipped with operational circuitry designed to  
detect fault conditions concerning the remote diode. In the  
event that the D+ pin is detected as shorted to VDD or  
floating, the Remote Temperature High Byte (RTHB) register  
is loaded with +127˚C, the Remote Temperature Low Byte  
(RTLB) register is loaded with 0, and the OPEN bit (D2) in  
the status register is set. As a result, if the Remote T_CRIT  
setpoint register (RCS) is set to a value less than +127˚C the  
ALERT and T_Crit output pins will be pulled low, if the Alert  
Mask and T_Crit Mask are disabled. If the Remote HIGH  
Setpoint High Byte Register (RHSHB) is set to a value less  
than +127˚C then ALERT will be pulled low, if the Alert Mask  
is disabled. The OPEN bit itself will not trigger and ALERT.

In the event that the D+ pin is shorted to ground or D−, the  
Remote Temperature High Byte (RTHB) register is loaded  
with −128˚C (1000 0000) and the OPEN bit (D2) in the status  
register will not be set. Since operating the LM99 at −128˚C  
is beyond it’s operational limits, this temperature reading  
represents this shorted fault condition. If the value in the  
Remote Low Setpoint High Byte Register (RLSHB) is more  
than −128˚C and the Alert Mask is disabled, ALERT will be  
pulled low.  
1.7 OPEN-DRAIN OUTPUTS  
The SMBData, ALERT 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  
provided by some external source, typically a pull-up resis-  
tor. Choice of resistor value depends on many system fac-  
tors 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 LM99. The maximum  
resistance of the pull-up to provide a 2.1V high level, based  
on LM99 specification for High Level Output Current with the  
supply voltage at 3.0V, is 82 k(5%) or 88.7 k(1%).  
Remote diode temperature sensors that have been previ-  
ously released and are competitive with the LM99 output a  
code of 0˚C if the external diode is short-circuited. This  
change is an improvement that allows a reading of 0˚C to be  
truly interpreted as a genuine 0˚C reading and not a fault  
condition.

Register will point to one of the Read Temperature Reg-  
isters because that will be the data most frequently read  
from the LM99), then the read can simply consist of an  
address byte, followed by retrieving the data byte.  
1.0 Functional Description (Continued)  
1.9 COMMUNICATING WITH THE LM99  
The data registers in the LM99 are selected by the Com-  
mand Register. At power-up the Command Register is set to  
“00”, the location for the Read Local Temperature Register.  
The Command Register latches the last location it was set  
to. Each data register in the LM99 falls into one of four types  
of user accessibility:  
2. If the Command Register needs to be set, then an  
address byte, command byte, repeat start, and another  
address byte will accomplish a read.  
The data byte has the most significant bit first. At the end of  
a read, the LM99 can accept either Acknowledge or No  
Acknowledge from the Master (No Acknowledge is typically  
used as a signal for the slave that the Master has read its  
last byte). It takes the LM99 31.25 ms to measure the  
temperature of the remote diode and internal diode. When  
retrieving all 10 bits from a previous remote diode tempera-  
ture measurement, the master must insure that all 10 bits are  
from the same temperature conversion. This may be  
achieved by using one-shot mode or by setting the conver-  
sion rate and monitoring the busy bit such that no conversion  
occurs in between reading the MSB and LSB of the last  
temperature conversion.  
1. Read only  
2. Write only  
3. Read/Write same address  
4. Read/Write different address  
A Write to the LM99 will always include the address byte and  
the command byte. A write to any register requires one data  
byte.  
Reading the LM99 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

devices are to timeout when either the SMBCLK or  
SMBData lines are held low for 25-35 ms. Therefore, to  
insure a timeout of all devices on the bus the SMBCLK  
or SMBData lines must be held low for at least 35 ms.  
In the event that the SMBus Master is RESET while the  
LM99 is transmitting on the SMBData line, the LM99 must be  
returned to a known state in the communication protocol.  
This may be done in one of two ways:  
2. When SMBData is HIGH, have the master initiate an  
SMBus start. The LM99 will respond properly to an  
SMBus start condition at any point during the communi-  
cation. After the start the LM99 will expect an SMBus  
Address address byte.  
1. When SMBData is LOW, the LM99 SMBus state ma-  
chine resets to the SMBus idle state if either SMBData  
or SMBCLK are held low for more than 35 ms (tTIM  
EOUT). Note that according to SMBus specification 2.0 all

1.13 ONE-SHOT REGISTER  
1.0 Functional Description (Continued)  
The One-Shot register is used to initiate a single conversion  
and comparison cycle when the device is in standby mode,  
after which the device returns to standby. This is not a data  
register and it is the write operation that causes the one-shot  
conversion. The data written to this address is irrelevant and  
is not stored. A zero will always be read from this register.  
1.12 FAULT QUEUE  
In order to suppress erroneous ALERT or T_CRIT triggering  
the LM99 incorporates a Fault Queue. The Fault Queue acts  
to insure a remote temperature measurement is genuinely  
beyond a HIGH, LOW or T_CRIT setpoint by not triggering  
until three consecutive out of limit measurements have been  
made, see Figure 10. The fault queue defaults off upon  
power-on and may be activated by setting bit D0 in the  
Configuration register (09h) to “1”.

3.0 Application Hints  
The LM99 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  
circuit board lands and traces soldered to the LM99’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  
surface temperature, the actual temperature of the of the  
LM99 die will be at an intermediate temperature between the  
surface and air temperatures. Again, the primary thermal  
conduction path is through the leads, so the circuit board  
temperature will contribute to the die temperature much  
more strongly than will the air temperature.  
In the above equation, η and IS are dependant upon the  
process that was used in the fabrication of the particular  
diode. By forcing two currents with a very controlled ratio (N)  
and measuring the resulting voltage difference, it is possible  
to eliminate the IS term. Solving for the forward voltage  
difference yields the relationship:  
The voltage seen by the LM99 also includes the IFRS voltage  
drop of the series resistance. The non-ideality factor, η, is  
the only other parameter not accounted for and depends on  
the diode that is used for measurement. Since VBE is  
proportional to both η and T, the variations in η cannot 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. As an  
example, assume a temperature sensor has an accuracy  
specification of 1˚C at room temperature of 25 ˚C and the  
process used to manufacture the diode has a non-ideality  
variation of 0.1%. The resulting accuracy of the tempera-  
ture sensor at room temperature will be:  
To measure temperature external to the LM99’s die, use a  
remote diode. This diode can be located on the die of a  
target IC, allowing measurement of the IC’s temperature,  
independent of the LM99’s temperature. The LM99 has been  
optimized to measure the NVIDIA® GeForce FX family  
thermal diode. Remember that a discrete diode’s tempera-  
ture will be affected, and often dominated, by the tempera-  
ture of its leads.

3.1.1 Diode Non-Ideality Factor Effect on Accuracy  
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.  
When a transistor is connected as a diode, the following  
relationship holds for variables VBE, T and If:  
3.1.2 Compensating for Diode Non-Ideality  
In order to compensate for the errors introduced by non-  
ideality, the temperature sensor is calibrated for a particular  
processor. National Semiconductor temperature sensors are  
always calibrated to the typical non-ideality of a given pro-  
cessor type. The LM99 is calibrated for the non-ideality of  
the NVIDIA GeForceFX family thermal diode. When a tem-  
perature sensor calibrated for a particular processor type is  
used with a different processor type or a given processor  
type has a non-ideality that strays from the typical, errors are  
introduced.  
where:  
q = 1.6x10−19 Coulombs (the electron charge),  
T = Absolute Temperature in Kelvin  
k = 1.38x10−23 joules/K (Boltzmann’s constant),  
Temperature errors associated with non-ideality may be re-  
duced in a specific temperature range of concern through  
use of the offset registers (11h and 12h). See Offset Register  
table below.  
η is the non-ideality factor of the process the diode is  
manufactured on,  
IS = Saturation Current and is process dependent,  
If = Forward Current through the base-emitter junction  
VBE = Base-Emitter Voltage drop

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.

3.2 PCB LAYOUT FOR MINIMIZING NOISE  
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 LM99’s GND pin is as  
close as possible to the Processors GND associated  
with the sense diode.

FIGURE 11. Ideal Diode Trace Layout  
8. 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.  
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 LM99 can cause temperature conversion errors.  
Keep in mind that the signal level the LM99 is trying to  
measure is in microvolts. The following guidelines should be  
followed:  
Noise coupling into the digital lines greater than 400 mVp-p  
(typical hysteresis) and undershoot less than 500 mV below  
GND, may prevent successful SMBus communication with  
the LM99. SMBus no acknowledge is the most common  
symptom, causing unnecessary traffic on the bus. Although  
the SMBus maximum frequency of communication is rather  
low (100 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. An RC lowpass  
filter with a 3 dB corner frequency of about 40 MHz is  
included on the LM99’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 cou-  
pling 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.  
1. Place a 0.1 µF power supply bypass capacitor as close  
as possible to the VDD pin and the recommended 2.2 nF  
capacitor as close as possible to the LM99’s D+ and D−  
pins. Make sure the traces to the 2.2 nF capacitor are  
matched.  
2. Ideally, the LM99 should be placed within 10 cm of the  
Processor diode pins with the traces being as straight,  
short and identical as possible. Trace resistance of 1 Ω  
can cause as much as 1˚C of error. This error can be  
compensated by using the Remote Temperature Offset  
Registers, since the value placed in these registers will  
automatically be subtracted from or added to the remote  
temperature reading.  
3. Diode traces should be surrounded by a GND guard ring  
to either side, above and below if possible. This GND
