DESCRIPTION
10-bits Plus Sign or 11-bits Programmable
Resolution
The LM95221 is a dual remote diode temperature
sensor in an 8-lead VSSOP package. The 2-wire
serial interface of the LM95221 is compatible with
SMBus 2.0. The LM95221 can sense three
temperature zones, it can measure the temperature
of its own die as well as two diode connected
transistors. The diode connected transistors can be a
thermal diode as found in Pentium and AMD
processors or can simply be a diode connected
MMBT3904 transistor. The LM95221 resolution
format for remote temperature readings can be
programmed to be 10-bits plus sign or 11-bits
unsigned. In the unsigned mode the LM95221 remote
diode readings can resolve temperatures above
127°C. Local temperature readings have a resolution
of 9-bits plus sign.
