Product details
Overview
LM89-1CIMX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is an 11-bit remote diode and local digital temperature sensor with SMBus 2.0 interface, ±0.75°C remote accuracy at 30°C/80°C, 0.125°C remote resolution, and dual open-drain ALERT/T_CRIT_A outputs for thermal monitoring of MCUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and ASICs in computing systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM89-1CIMX/NOPB datasheet, LM89-1CIMX/NOPB pinout, LM89-1CIMX/NOPB application, or LM89-1CIMX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include remote diode nonideality compensation via offset registers, T_CRIT hysteresis programmability, SMBus TIMEOUT reset capability, and compatibility with thermal diodes on Intel Pentium 4–class dies.
Technical Context
The LM89-1CIMX/NOPB implements a delta-VBE-based sensing architecture with separate 10-bit-plus-sign remote and 8-bit local ADCs. Its SMBus 2.0 interface supports TIMEOUT reset (25–35 ms low pulse), ALERT masking, and ARA protocol compliance for multi-device alert arbitration.
It features programmable conversion rate (31.25 ms base time), dual independent limit comparators (HIGH/LOW/T_CRIT) per channel, and hardware hysteresis applied to both local and remote T_CRIT thresholds via a shared TH register.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Remote Temp Accuracy | ±0.75°C max at TA=30°C, TD=80°C - enables precise die-temperature tracking of high-performance processors |
| Local Temp Accuracy | ±3.0°C max over 25°C–125°C - sufficient for ambient or package-level thermal supervision |
| Remote Resolution | 0.125°C (11-bit) - supports fine-grained thermal throttling decisions |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0 V to 3.6 V - compatible with standard 3.3V system rails and requires 0.1µF + 100pF bypassing |
| SMBus Clock Range | 10 kHz to 100 kHz - ensures interoperability with legacy and modern SMBus controllers |
| T_CRIT Default | 85°C - matches common processor thermal shutdown thresholds for immediate system protection |
| Quiescent Current | 1.7 mA typical at 16 Hz conversion - balances responsiveness and power in always-on monitoring |
Pinout & Package
LM89-1CIMX/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin VSSOP (DGK) package measuring 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts near high-power ICs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Positive supply input | 3.0–3.6 V rail requiring local 0.1 µF + 100 pF decoupling; bulk 10 µF nearby |
| D+ | Diode current source | Drives remote diode anode; mandates 2.2 nF capacitor placed between D+ and D− pins |
| D− | Diode return sink | Completes remote diode current path; sensitive to trace matching and parasitic forward bias |
| T_CRIT_A | Active-low critical alarm | Open-drain output asserting when any temp exceeds T_CRIT; includes programmable hysteresis |
| GND | Power ground reference | Common return for analog and digital sections; must be low-impedance connection |
| ALERT | Active-low general alarm | Open-drain output triggered by HIGH/LOW/T_CRIT violations; supports comparator/interrupt/ARA modes |
| SMBData | SMBus bidirectional data | Open-drain I/O with 5 pF input capacitance; requires external pull-up resistor |
| SMBCLK | SMBus clock input | Input-only clock line with 400 mV hysteresis; defines timing for all SMBus transactions |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Remote diode offset calibration | Two 8-bit offset registers (RTOLB/RTOHB) compensate for nonideality factors (e.g., 1.0021) without software intervention |
| Programmable T_CRIT hysteresis | Hysteresis register (TH) sets recovery threshold as T_CRIT − TH, preventing chatter during thermal transients |
| SMBus TIMEOUT reset | Holding SMBData/SMBCLK low >25 ms resets internal state machine, restoring communication after bus lockup |
| Three ALERT operating modes | Configurable as hardware comparator, interrupt flag, or SMBus ARA responder - adapts to host controller architecture |
| Pin/register compatibility | Direct replacement for LM86/LM90/LM99/ADM1032/MAX6657/8 - simplifies migration and second-sourcing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar remote/local temperature sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM90CIMM/NOPB | Same 8-pin SOIC package; ±0.75°C remote accuracy; but uses different SMBus slave address (1001100 vs 1001101) | Supports dual-sensor configurations on same SMBus without address conflict; lacks LM89-1C's 85°C T_CRIT default | Select when board layout accommodates SOIC and multi-sensor address isolation is required |
| MAX6657ESA+ | Pin-compatible 8-pin SOIC; identical SMBus interface; ±1.0°C remote accuracy (worse than LM89-1C's ±0.75°C) | Higher quiescent current (2.5 mA vs 1.7 mA); no T_CRIT hysteresis register; limited diode nonideality compensation | Select only if MAX6657 is already qualified in existing design and ±1.0°C accuracy suffices |
Compared with LM90CIMM/NOPB and MAX6657ESA+, the LM89-1CIMX/NOPB delivers superior remote accuracy (±0.75°C), integrated T_CRIT hysteresis control, and optimized VSSOP footprint for dense compute modules - making it preferred for new laptop, server, and FPGA designs demanding precision thermal response.

FAQ
What is the SMBus slave address of LM89-1CIMX/NOPB?
The LM89-1CIMX/NOPB has a fixed SMBus slave address of 1001101 (0x4D in hexadecimal). This differs from the base LM89C (1001100, 0x4C) and LM89-1D (1001101, 0x4D but with 105°C T_CRIT default), enabling up to two LM89-1CIMX/NOPB devices on the same bus without address collision. The address is hardwired and not software-configurable.
Does LM89-1CIMX/NOPB support remote diode sensing on modern processors like AMD Ryzen or Intel Core i9?
Yes, LM89-1CIMX/NOPB supports remote diode sensing on AMD Ryzen and Intel Core i9 processors. Its delta-VBE architecture and offset register (RTOLB/RTOHB) allow calibration to nonideality factors as low as 1.0021 - matching specifications of Pentium 4–class and newer thermal diodes. Validation requires verifying diode series resistance (<3.64 Ω) and placement of the mandatory 2.2 nF capacitor between D+ and D−.
How does the T_CRIT_A output behave when the remote temperature exceeds its limit?
When the remote temperature exceeds its programmed T_CRIT limit, the LM89-1CIMX/NOPB asserts T_CRIT_A low immediately after conversion completion (~31.25 ms). It remains asserted until the temperature falls below (T_CRIT − TH), where TH is the value in the hysteresis register. This prevents oscillation during thermal transients and ensures clean shutdown signaling to power controllers or PMICs.
Can LM89-1CIMX/NOPB operate from a 2.5V supply?
No, LM89-1CIMX/NOPB requires a supply voltage between 3.0 V and 3.6 V per its Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended Operating Conditions. Operation below 3.0 V risks undefined behavior, including inaccurate conversions, SMBus communication failure, or failure to assert ALERT/T_CRIT_A. A dedicated 3.3V LDO or regulator rail is mandatory.
Is LM89-1CIMX/NOPB RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, LM89-1CIMX/NOPB is RoHS-compliant and lead-free. The "/NOPB" suffix explicitly denotes "No Lead (Pb)-Free" packaging, conforming to JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 and IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033 handling requirements. Full compliance documentation, including material declarations and test reports, is available through Texas Instruments' Quality & Environmental page.
