Product details
Overview
LM82CIMQA/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a dual-sensing digital temperature monitor IC with local die and remote diode junction measurement capability, 7-bit + sign temperature data format (1°C resolution), SMBus/I²C-compatible two-wire interface, and dual open-drain interrupt outputs (INT and T_CRIT_A) for thermal event detection in embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM82CIMQA/NOPB datasheet, LM82CIMQA/NOPB pinout, LM82CIMQA/NOPB application, or LM82CIMQA/NOPB equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed thermal accuracy across operating range, real-world interrupt behavior, and direct alternative options for system-level thermal management design.
Technical Context
The LM82CIMQA/NOPB integrates a Delta-Sigma ADC to digitize both on-chip bandgap voltage (local temperature) and forward voltage drop across an external p-n junction (remote diode), supporting simultaneous monitoring of CPU die and board-level hotspots. Its SMBus 1.1 TIMEOUT-compliant interface enables robust communication under bus contention or master reset conditions.
Two independent programmable thresholds - per-temperature T_HIGH registers (LHS/RHS) and global T_CRIT register - drive dedicated open-drain outputs with configurable polarity and masking. Status register bits reflect alarm source (LCRIT, RCRIT, LHIGH, RHIGH, OPEN), enabling precise root-cause identification without polling all registers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 3.0 V to 3.6 V - ensures compatibility with 3.3 V logic domains and avoids level-shifting in host microcontroller interfaces. |
| Local Temp Accuracy | ±3.0°C max (0°C to +85°C) - sufficient for board-level ambient and IC junction monitoring without calibration. |
| Remote Diode Accuracy | ±3°C max (+25°C to +100°C); ±4°C max (0°C to +125°C) - supports reliable CPU/GPU thermal tracking using integrated diodes. |
| Conversion Time | 600 ms max for full local + remote sequence - defines minimum thermal response latency for closed-loop fan control. |
| SMBus Clock Frequency | 10 kHz to 100 kHz - compatible with standard SMBus controllers and tolerant of low-speed industrial buses. |
| Interrupt Outputs | INT (per-temperature HIGH alert) and T_CRIT_A (global critical threshold) - enable hardware-triggered system shutdown or throttling without software polling. |
| Address Select Pins | ADD0/ADD1 support 9 unique SMBus addresses (0x18–0x1E, 0x29–0x2B, 0x4C–0x4E) - allows multi-sensor deployment on single bus without address conflict. |
Pinout & Package
LM82CIMQA/NOPB is housed in a 16-pin SSOP (DBQ) package with 0.65 mm pitch, optimized for compact PCB layouts and thermal coupling to adjacent components.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (Pin 2) | Positive supply input | Must be decoupled locally with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor; powers internal ADC, logic, and diode bias circuitry. |
| GND (Pins 7, 8) | Power ground reference | Dual ground pins reduce ground bounce during conversion and improve noise immunity for analog sensing path. |
| D+ (Pin 3) | Diode current source | Drives constant current into remote diode anode; open when unused - prevents false +127°C readings. |
| D− (Pin 4) | Diode return sink | Completes remote diode bias loop; must float if D+ is unused - avoids leakage-induced measurement error. |
| ADD0/ADD1 (Pins 6, 10) | SMBus address select inputs | Tri-level capable (GND/VCC/floating); latched at first SMBus transaction - enables static address configuration without EEPROM. |
| SMBData (Pin 12) | Bi-directional serial data line | Open-drain output requires external pull-up; supports shared bus arbitration and collision detection per SMBus spec. |
| SMBCLK (Pin 14) | Serial clock input | Master-generated clock; timeout reset triggered if held low >25 ms - recovers from bus lockup without device reset. |
| INT (Pin 11) | Programmable interrupt output | Asserts when any temperature exceeds its T_HIGH limit; polarity configurable via Configuration Register bit D1. |
| T_CRIT_A (Pin 16) | Critical temperature alarm | Asserts when local or remote reading exceeds T_CRIT register value; masked per sensor via Configuration Register bits D2/D4. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Local + remote dual sensing | Enables concurrent monitoring of system ambient (via LM82 die) and processor junction (via CPU diode), eliminating need for separate sensors. |
| Two independent interrupt outputs | INT signals per-sensor over-temperature events; T_CRIT_A provides fail-safe shutdown trigger - simplifies interrupt handling in resource-constrained hosts. |
| 9-address SMBus configurability | ADD0/ADD1 tri-level inputs allow up to nine LM82CIMQA/NOPB devices on one bus without address jumpers or firmware reconfiguration. |
| Diode fault detection | Automatically flags open-circuit (D+ floating → +127°C + OPEN bit) or shorted diode (D+ to GND → 0°C), preventing false thermal alarms. |
| Power-on defaults | Preconfigured T_CRIT = 127°C and T_HIGH = 127°C ensure safe startup before host firmware initializes registers - no risk of immediate alarm assertion. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-sensing temperature monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM84CIMQA/NOPB | Pin-for-pin and register-compatible; adds extended remote accuracy (±2°C from +25°C to +100°C) and improved SMBus timing margins. | Preferred where tighter remote diode tolerance is required for high-end server thermal control loops. | Select LM84CIMQA/NOPB only if enhanced remote accuracy justifies cost premium; LM82CIMQA/NOPB remains optimal for general-purpose thermal supervision. |
| MAX6657ESA+ | Single-supply 3.0 V to 5.5 V operation; remote diode accuracy ±3°C (0°C to +85°C); no T_CRIT_A output - uses single INT with status register decoding. | Suitable for legacy 5 V systems or designs where critical alarm must be software-managed rather than hardware-triggered. | Choose MAX6657ESA+ when interfacing with 5 V SMBus masters or when board space constraints favor SOIC-8 over SSOP-16. |
Compared with LM82CIMQA/NOPB, LM84CIMQA/NOPB offers higher remote accuracy but identical footprint and register map, while MAX6657ESA+ trades T_CRIT_A hardware alarm for wider supply range and smaller package - selection depends on accuracy priority, voltage domain, and alarm architecture requirements.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LM82CIMQA/NOPB?
The LM82CIMQA/NOPB operates across −40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. Its local temperature sensing accuracy is ±3.0°C maximum from 0°C to +85°C, and ±4°C maximum across the full range. Remote diode accuracy is ±3°C from +25°C to +100°C, and ±4°C from 0°C to +125°C - verified per SNIS113D datasheet revision March 2013.
Does the LM82CIMQA/NOPB require external components for basic operation?
Yes - LM82CIMQA/NOPB requires a 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor on VCC, external pull-up resistors on SMBData, SMBCLK, INT, and T_CRIT_A (typically 4.7 kΩ), and proper routing of D+ and D− to a remote diode or left floating if unused. No external oscillator or calibration components are needed - all timing and conversion are fully integrated.
How does the LM82CIMQA/NOPB handle remote diode faults?
The LM82CIMQA/NOPB performs automatic diode fault detection before each remote conversion. An open diode (D+ floating) returns +127°C and sets the OPEN bit in the Status Register (02h). A shorted D+ (to GND or D−) returns 0°C without setting OPEN. These conditions are reported in real time, enabling firmware to distinguish sensor failure from genuine overtemperature events.
Can multiple LM82CIMQA/NOPB devices share the same SMBus?
Yes - LM82CIMQA/NOPB supports up to nine devices on one SMBus via ADD0 and ADD1 tri-level address select pins. Each combination (GND/VCC/floating) yields a unique 7-bit slave address (e.g., 0x18–0x1E, 0x29–0x2B, 0x4C–0x4E). Address is latched at first SMBus access and remains fixed until power cycle - no runtime reconfiguration needed.
What happens to the LM82CIMQA/NOPB outputs during power-up?
At power-up, LM82CIMQA/NOPB initializes with default thresholds: T_CRIT = 127°C, LHS = RHIGH = 127°C, Configuration Register = 0x00 (INT enabled, T_CRIT_A enabled), and Status Register = 0x00. INT and T_CRIT_A remain deasserted until a temperature exceeds its programmed limit - ensuring safe startup without spurious interrupts.
