General Description
The LM76 is a digital temperature sensor and thermal window comparator with an I
accuracy of
fied for a −10˚C to 45˚C temperature range, while for the
LM76CNM the temperature range is 70˚C to 100˚C. The
LM76CHM isspecifiedwith an accuracy
window-comparator architecture of the LM76 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. The sensor powers up with default thresholds of 2˚C T
T_CRIT.
The LM76’s 3.3V and 5.0V supply voltage, Serial Bus interface, 12-bit + sign output, and full-scale range of over 127˚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 and
bio-medical applications.
