Pinout & Package
LM89CIMM/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package measuring 4.9 mm × 3.9 mm, optimized for board-level thermal sensor placement near high-power ICs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Positive supply input | Accepts 3.0–3.6 V; requires 0.1 µF + 100 pF bypass capacitors placed adjacent to pin for noise immunity |
| D+ | Diode current source | Drives remote thermal diode anode; mandates 2.2 nF capacitor placed between D+ and D− pins for high-frequency noise filtering |
| D− | Diode return sink | Completes remote diode current path; must be routed with matched trace length to D+ for measurement stability |
| T_CRIT_A | Critical temperature alarm | Open-drain active-low output with built-in hysteresis; directly drives power supply shutdown or controller interrupt lines |
| GND | Power ground reference | Common return for analog and digital sections; must connect to low-impedance system ground plane |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar remote diode temperature sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM90CIMM/NOPB | Higher remote accuracy (±0.5°C), 12-bit remote resolution, same SOIC-8 package and SMBus interface | Required for applications demanding tighter thermal control bands (e.g., high-end server CPUs) | Select when ±0.5°C remote accuracy is mandatory and cost premium is acceptable |
| MAX6657ESA+ | Different SMBus slave address (1001100b vs. LM89CIMM/NOPB's 1001100b - identical), but no T_CRIT_A output; only ALERT pin | Lacks dedicated critical shutdown output - requires external logic for hardware-initiated power-off | Choose only if existing design uses MAX6657 and SMBus address collision is avoided |
Compared with LM90CIMM/NOPB, LM89CIMM/NOPB trades 0.25°C remote accuracy for lower cost and proven field reliability in mainstream computing platforms; versus MAX6657ESA+, it adds T_CRIT_A for autonomous shutdown - eliminating firmware dependency for safety-critical thermal events.

FAQ
What is the remote diode accuracy specification for LM89CIMM/NOPB?
The LM89CIMM/NOPB achieves ±0.75°C maximum remote diode temperature accuracy at TA = 30°C and TD = 80°C, as specified in the official Texas Instruments datasheet SNIS128D. This accuracy applies to thermal diodes with typical nonideality factors (e.g., 1.0021) and series resistance up to 3.64 Ω. The LM89CIMM/NOPB uses an offset register to calibrate out nonideality errors, ensuring consistent performance across different processor dies.
Does LM89CIMM/NOPB support SMBus 2.0 TIMEOUT reset functionality?
Yes, LM89CIMM/NOPB fully supports SMBus 2.0 TIMEOUT reset: holding SMBData and/or SMBCLK low for longer than 25–35 ms resets the internal SMBus state machine and places SMBData/SMBCLK pins in high-impedance mode. This feature is documented in Section 8.8 of the SNIS128D datasheet and enables robust bus recovery in noisy industrial environments without requiring device power cycling.
What is the default T_CRIT temperature setting for LM89CIMM/NOPB?
The LM89CIMM/NOPB has a default local T_CRIT temperature setting of 85°C, as confirmed in the Device Comparison Table (Section 6) of the SNIS128D datasheet. This value is loaded at power-on and corresponds to the LM89C/LM89CIMM variant family. The remote T_CRIT default is 110°C. Both values are user-programmable via the T_CRIT limit registers (addresses 20h–21h for local, 22h–23h for remote).
Can LM89CIMM/NOPB measure both local and remote temperatures simultaneously?
Yes, LM89CIMM/NOPB performs sequential local and remote temperature conversions in a round-robin manner, completing both measurements every 31.25 ms. The device maintains separate 8-bit local and 11-bit remote temperature registers (addresses 00h–01h and 03h–04h), allowing firmware to read either value independently at any time. The conversion sequence is deterministic and unaffected by SMBus traffic, ensuring predictable thermal update timing for real-time control loops.
What package type and dimensions does LM89CIMM/NOPB use?
LM89CIMM/NOPB is supplied in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with nominal body size 4.9 mm × 3.9 mm, as specified in the Device Information table (Section 4) of the SNIS128D datasheet. This surface-mount package is RoHS-compliant and pin-compatible with other LM89 variants including LM89-1CIMM and LM89-1DIMM, enabling drop-in replacement within the same footprint when thermal thresholds align.
