DESCRIPTION
LM95233 is an 11-bit digital temperature sensor with
a 2-wire System Management Bus (SMBus) interface
that can monitor the temperature of two remote
diodes as well as its own temperature. The LM95233
can be used to very accurately monitor the
temperature of up to two external devices such as
microprocessors, graphics processors or diode-
connected 2N3904s. The LM95233's TruTherm™
BJT beta compensation technology allows sensing of
90nm or 65nm process thermal diodes accurately.

The LM95233 reports temperature in two different
formats for +127.875°C/–128°C range and 0°C/255°C
range. The LM95233 TCRIT1, TCRIT2 and TCRIT3
outputs are triggered when any unmasked channel
exceeds its corresponding programmable limit and
can be used to shutdown the system, to turn on the
system fans or as a microcontroller interrupt function.
The current status of the TCRIT1, TCRIT2 and
TCRIT3 pins can be read back from the status
registers. Mask registers are available for further
control of the TCRIT outputs. LM95233's remote
temperature channels have programmable digital
filters to minimize unwanted TCRIT events when
temperature spikes are encountered.
