LM77 9-Bit + Sign Digital Temperature Sensor and Thermal Window Comparator with Two-Wire
Interface
General Description
The LM77 is a digital temperature sensor and thermal window comparator with an I
window-comparator architecture of the LM77 eases the design of temperature control systems conforming to the ACPI
(Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) specification
for personal computers. The open-drain Interrupt (INT) output becomes active whenever temperature goes outside a
programmable window, while a separate Critical Temperature Alarm (T_CRIT_A) output becomes active when the
temperature exceeds a programmable critical limit. The INT
output can operate in either a comparator or event mode,
while the T_CRIT_A output operates in comparator mode
only.
The host can program both the upper and lower limits of the
window as well as the critical temperature limit. Programmable hysterisis as well as a fault queue are available to
minimize false tripping. Two pins (A0, A1) are available for
address selection.Thesensor powers up with default thresholds of 2˚C T
T_CRIT.
The LM77’s 3.0V to 5.5V supply voltage range, Serial Bus interface, 9-bit + sign output, and full-scale range of over
128˚C make it ideal for a wide range of applications. These
include thermal management and protection applications in
personal computers, electronic test equipment, office electronics, automotive, and HVAC applications.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. DC and AC electrical specifications do not apply when operating
the device beyond its rated operating conditions.
Note 2: When the input voltage (V
maximum package input current rating limits the number of pins that can safely exceed the power supplies with an input current of 5 mA to four.
Note 3: SeeAN-450 “Surface Mounting Methods and Their Effect on Product Reliability” or the section titled “Surface Mount” found in a current National Semiconductor Linear Data Book for other methods of soldering surface mount devices.
Note 4: Human body model, 100 pF discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor. Machine model, 200 pF discharged directly into each pin.
Note 5: LM77 θ
Note 6: While the LM77 has a full-scale-range in excess of 128˚C, prolonged operation at temperatures above 125˚C is not recommended.
Note 7: Both part numbers of the LM77 will operate properly over the +V
curacy at their nominal supply voltage. Accuracy will typically degrade 1˚C/V of variation in +V
Note 8: Typicals are at T
Note 9: Limits are guaranteed to National’s AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).
Note 10: 9 bits + sign, two’s complement
Note 11: Thisspecification is provided only to indicate how often temperature data is updated. The LM77 can be read at any time without regard to conversion state
(and will yield last conversion result). If a conversion is in process it will be interrupted and restarted after the end of the read.
Note 12: 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.
