General Description

The LM41 is a hardware monitor that measures 2 tempera­ture zones, 5 voltages and has a single-wire interface com­patible with National Semiconductor’s SensorPath bus. Sen­sorPath data is pulse width encoded, thereby allowing the
LM41 to be easily connected to many general purpose
micro-controllers. Several National Semiconductor Super I/O
products include a fully integrated SensorPath master, that
when connected to the LM41 can realize a hardware monitor
function that includes limit checking for measured values,
autonomous fan speed control and many other functions.

The LM41 measures the temperature of its own die as well
as one external device such as a processor thermal diode or
a diode connected transistor. The LM41 can resolve tem­peratures up to 255˚C and down to -256˚C. The operating
temperature range of the LM41 is 0˚C to +125˚C. Using Σ∆
ADC it measures +1.2V, +2.5V, +3.3V, +5V and +12V analog
input voltages with internal scaling resistors. The address
programming pin allows two LM41’s to be placed on one
SensorPath bus.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is

functional, but do not guarantee performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed
specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test
conditions.

Note 4: Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient in still air when attached to a printed circuit board with 1 oz. foil is 148 ˚C/W.

Note 5: Human body model, 100 pF discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor. Machine model, 200 pF discharged directly into each pin.

Note 6: Reflow temperature profiles are different for lead-free and non lead-free packages.

Note 7: “Typicals” are at T

Note 8: Limits are guaranteed to National’s AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).

Note 9: The supply current will not increase substantially with a SensorPath transaction.

Note 10: Local temperature accuracy does not include the effects of self-heating. The rise in temperature due to self-heating is the product of the internal power

dissipation of the LM41 and the thermal resistance. See (Note 4) for the thermal resistance to be used in the self-heating calculation.

Note 11: TUE , total unadjusted error, includesADC gain, offset, linearity and reference errors. TUE is defined as the "actual Vin" to achieve a given code transition
minus the "theoretical Vin" for the same code. Therefore, a positive error indicates that the input voltage is greater than the theoretical input voltage for a given code.
If the theoretical input voltage was applied to an LM41 that has positive error, the LM41’s reading would be less than the theoretical.

Note 12: The accuracy of the LM41CIMT is guaranteed when using the thermal diode of an Intel 90 nm Pentium 4 processor or any thermal diode with a non-ideality
factor of 1.011 and series resistance of 3.33Ω. When using a MMBT3904 type transistor as a thermal diode the error band will be typically shifted by -4.5 ˚C.

Note 13: This specification is provided only to indicate how often temperature and voltage data are updated.

Note 15: The output rise time is measured from (V

Note 16: The rise and fall times are not tested but guaranteed by design.
