General Description
The LM75 temperature sensor includes a delta-sigma
analog-to-digital converter, and a digital overtemperature detector. The host can query the LM75 through its
I2C interface to read temperature at any time. The
open-drain overtemperature output (OS) sinks current
when the programmable temperature limit is exceeded.
The OS output operates in either of two modes, comparator or interrupt. The host controls the temperature
at which the alarm is asserted (TOS) and the hysteresis
temperature below which the alarm condition is not
valid (T
HYST
). Also, the LM75’s TOSand T
HYST
registers can be read by the host. The address of the LM75
is set with three pins to allow multiple devices to work
on the same bus. Power-up is in comparator mode, with
defaults of TOS= +80°C and T
HYST
= +75°C. The 3.0V
to 5.5V supply voltage range, low supply current, and
I2C interface make the LM75 ideal for many applications in thermal management and protection.

tions do not apply when operating the device beyond its rated operating conditions.
Note 2: When the input voltage (V

) at any pin exceeds the Absolute Maximum Ratings limits (VI< GND, VI> 6V or VI> +VS), the
current at that pin should be limited to 5mA. The 20mA maximum package input current rating limits the number of pins that
can safely exceed the power supplies with an input current of 5mA to four.

Detailed Description
The LM75 temperature sensor measures temperature
and converts the data into digital form using a bandgap type temperature sensor and a 9-bit delta-sigma
ADC. An I2C-compatible 2-wire serial interface allows
access to conversion results. The LM75 accepts standard I
2
C commands to read the data, set the overtemperature alarm (OS) trip thresholds, and configure other
characteristics. While reading the Temperature register,
any changes in temperature are ignored until the read
is completed. The Temperature register is updated for
the new temperature measurement upon completion of
the read operation.
OS Output, T
OS,
and T
HYST
Limits
In comparator mode (see Figure 1), the open-drain OS
output asserts when the temperature rises above the
limit programmed into the TOSregister, and becomes
high impedance when the temperature falls below the
limit set in the T
HYST
register. In this mode the LM75
operates as a thermostat, and the OS output can be
used to take action to reduce the temperature (e.g.,
turn on a cooling fan, reduce clock speed, or shut
down the system).
In interrupt mode, exceeding TOSalso asserts OS. OS
remains asserted until a read operation is performed on
any of the registers. Once OS has asserted due to
crossing above TOSand is then reset, it is asserted
again only when the temperature drops below T
HYST
.
The output then remains asserted until it is reset by a
read. It is then asserted again if the temperature rises
above TOS, and so on. Putting the LM75 into shutdown
mode also resets OS.
Power-Up and Power-Down
The LM75 powers up to a known state, as indicated in
Table 2. Some of these settings are summarized as following:
• Comparator mode
• T
OS
= +80°C
• T
HYST
= +75°C
• OS active low
• Command byte pointer = 0x00
I2C-Compatible Bus Interface
From a software perspective, the LM75 appears as a set
of byte-wide registers that contain temperature data,
alarm threshold values, and control bits. A standard I2Ccompatible, 2-wire serial interface reads temperature
data and writes control bits and alarm threshold data.
Each device responds to its own I2C slave address,
which is selected using A0, A1, and A2. See Table 1.

Temperature Data Format
Temperature data is stored in the Temperature, TOSSet
Point, and T
HYST
Set Point registers. The temperature
data format is 9 bits, two’s complement, and the register
is read out in 2 bytes: an upper byte and a lower byte.
Bits D15–D7 contain the temperature data, with the LSB
representing 0.5°C and the MSB representing the sign
bit (see Table 3). The MSB is transmitted first. The last 7
bits of the lower byte, bits D6–D0, are don’t cares.
Shutdown
Set bit D0 in the Configuration register to 1 to place the
LM75 in shutdown mode and reduce supply current to
4µA. In interrupt mode, entering shutdown resets the
OS output. While in shutdown, the I2C remains active
and TOSand T
HYST
limit registers along with the
Configuration register remain accessible to the master.
Fault Queue
The fault queue prevents OS false tripping in noisy
environments. The number of faults set in the queue (up
to 6) must occur to trip the OS output.
Comparator/Interrupt Mode
The events that trigger OS are identical between comparator and interrupt modes. In comparator mode, OS
is asserted when the temperature rises above the T
OS
value. OS is deasserted when the temperature drops
below the T
HYST
value. In interrupt mode, OS is asserted when the temperature rises above the TOSvalue or
falls below the T
HYST
value. OS is deasserted only after
performing a read operation.
OS Output
The OS output is an open-drain output without an internal pullup. Connect a pullup resistor from OS to +VS.
Using larger resistance values reduces any temperature errors due to self heating from current entering OS.
OS Polarity
The OS polarity can be programmed for active-low or
active-high operation. In active-low operation, OS goes
low when triggered by a temperature event.
Internal Registers
The LM75’s Pointer register selects between four data
registers (see Figure 6). At power-up, the pointer is set
to read the Temperature register at address 0x00. The
Pointer register latches the last location to which it was
set. All registers are read and write, except the
Temperature register, which is read only.
Write to the Configuration register by writing an address
byte, a data pointer byte, and a data byte. If 2 data
bytes are written, the second data byte overrides the
first. The TOSand T
HYST
registers require 1 address
byte, 1 pointer byte, and 2 data bytes. If only 1 data
byte is written, it is saved in bits D15–D8 of the respective register. If more than 2 data bytes are written, only
the first 2 bytes are recognized while the remaining
bytes are ignored.
Read from the LM75 in one of two ways. If the location
latched in the Pointer register is set from the previous
read, the new read consists of an address byte, followed by retrieving the corresponding number of data
bytes. If the Pointer register needs to be set to a new
address, perform a read operation by writing an
address byte, pointer byte, repeat start, and another
address byte.
An inadvertent 8-bit read from a 16-bit register, with the
D7 bit low, can cause the device to stop in a state
where the SDA line is held low. Ordinarily, this would
prevent any further bus communication until the master
sends nine additional clock cycles or SDA goes high.
At that time, a stop condition resets the device. If the
additional clock cycles are not generated by the master, the LM75 bus resets and unlocks after the bus timeout period has elapsed.

Configuration Register
The 8-bit Configuration register sets the fault queue, OS
polarity, shutdown control, and whether the OS output
functions in comparator or interrupt mode. When writing
to the Configuration register, set bits D7, D6, and D5 to
zero (see Table 5).
Bits D4 and D3, the fault queue bits, determine the
number of faults necessary to trigger an OS condition
(see Table 6). The number of faults set in the queue
must occur consecutively to trip the OS output. The
fault queue prevents OS false tripping in noisy environments.
Set bit D2, the OS polarity bit, to zero to force the OS
output polarity to active low. Set bit D2 to 1 to set the
OS output polarity to active high. OS is an open-drain
output under all conditions and requires a pullup resistor to output a high voltage (see Figure 1).
Set bit D1, the comparator/interrupt bit to zero to operate OS in comparator mode. In comparator mode, OS
is asserted when the temperature rises above the T
OS
value. OS is deasserted when the temperature drops
below the T
HYST
value (see Figure 1). Set bit D1 to 1 to
operate OS in interrupt mode. OS is asserted in interrupt mode when the temperature rises above the T
OS
value or falls below the T
HYST
value. OS is deasserted
only after performing a read operation.
Set bit D0, the shutdown bit, to zero for normal operation. Set bit D0 to 1 to shutdown the LM75’s internal
blocks. The I2C interface remains active as long as the
shutdown bit is set. The TOS, T
HYST
, and Configuration
registers can still be written to and read from while in
shutdown.
Applications Information
LM75 measures the temperature of its own die. The
thermal path between the die and the outside world
determines the accuracy of temperature measurements. Most of the heat flows in to or out of the die
through the leads. Because of this, the LM75 most easily measures the PCB temperature. For ambient temperature measurements, mount the LM75 on a separate
PCB away from high power sources. Temperature
errors due to self heating of the LM75 die is minimal
due to the low supply current.
Digital Noise Issues
The lowpass filters in the SCL and SDA digital lines mitigate the effects of bus noise, and make communications in noisy environments more robust. Good layout
practices also help. Keep switching power supplies
away from digital lines, and arrange for high-speed digital traces to cross SCL and SDA at right angles.
Properly terminate long PCB traces and bus traces
connected to multiple slaves.
Serial bus no-acknowledge (which causes unnecessary
bus traffic) is the most common symptom of excessive
noise coupling into the SDA and SCL lines. Noise with
amplitude greater than the LM75’s hysteresis (400mV
P-P
,
typ), overshoot greater than 300mV above +VS, and
undershoot more than 300mV below GND may prevent
successful serial communication.
Resistance can be added in series with the SDA and
SCL lines to help filter noise and ringing. A 5kΩ resistor
placed in series with the SCL line and as close as possible to the SCL pin, with the 5pF to 10pF stray capacitance of the device, provides a 6MHz to 12MHz
lowpass filter, which is sufficient filtering in many cases.
