Product details
Overview
LM95233CISD/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a dual remote diode and local digital temperature sensor with SMBus 2.0 interface, TruTherm™ BJT beta compensation, ±0.875°C remote diode accuracy (65 nm Intel processor), 0.03125°C resolution with digital filter enabled, and three programmable TCRIT outputs. It monitors CPU/GPU die temperature and local PCB temperature in high-density computing systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM95233CISD/NOPB datasheet, LM95233CISD/NOPB pinout, LM95233CISD/NOPB application, or LM95233CISD/NOPB equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed thermal accuracy across 65 nm/90 nm processes and MMBT3904 diodes, real-world SMBus timing compliance, and precise TCRIT output behavior under shared hysteresis control.
Technical Context
The LM95233CISD/NOPB integrates a sigma-delta ADC core with programmable digital filters for Remote Diode 1 and 2, enabling 13-bit resolution (0.03125°C LSB) and transient noise clipping. Its TruTherm™ circuitry dynamically compensates for BJT beta variation in sub-micron process thermal diodes, ensuring accurate die temperature tracking without external calibration.
It supports three SMBus slave addresses via A0 pin (18h/2Ah/2Bh), implements per-channel diode model selection (65 nm Intel vs. MMBT3904), and provides independent channel enable/disable control to reduce conversion time and average supply current. All three TCRIT outputs are open-drain, active-low, and share a programmable hysteresis register.

Pinout & Package
LM95233CISD/NOPB uses a 14-pin WSON package (NHL0014B) with exposed thermal pad connected to GND. Pin 1 is NC; pins 1–4 and 13 are no-connect or power/ground tie options; D− serves as common cathode return for both remote diodes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 2) | Positive supply input | 3.0–3.6 V DC; must be bypassed with 0.1 µF + 100 pF capacitors placed adjacent to pin. |
| D− (Pin 5) | Diode return current sink | Common cathode connection for both remote diodes; connects to system ground reference. |
| D2+ (Pin 6) | Remote diode 2 anode current source | Drives current into second remote thermal diode; float if unused. |
| D1+ (Pin 7) | Remote diode 1 anode current source | Drives current into first remote thermal diode; float if unused. |
| GND (Pin 8) | Power supply ground | Low-noise system ground; thermal pad must be soldered to GND plane. |
| A0 (Pin 9) | SMBus address select | Three-level input (GND/mid/VDD) sets slave address to 18h/2Ah/2Bh. |
| TCRIT1–3 (Pins 10,11,14) | Critical temperature outputs | Open-drain, active-low; require external pull-up resistors; share programmable hysteresis. |
| SMBCLK/SMBDAT (Pins 12,13) | SMBus interface lines | Bi-directional clock/data; require external pull-up resistors; support TIMEOUT reset. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TruTherm™ BJT beta compensation | Enables accurate sensing of 65 nm and 90 nm Intel processor thermal diodes without manual offset tuning. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual remote diode temperature sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM95235CISD/NOPB | Same pinout and SMBus interface; adds internal 2.5 V reference and improved remote accuracy (±0.75°C) for 45 nm processes. | Targeted at newer CPU generations; requires updated diode model register configuration. | Select when upgrading from 65 nm to 45 nm or lower process nodes and higher accuracy is required. |

FAQ
What is the maximum remote diode temperature accuracy of LM95233CISD/NOPB for Intel 65 nm processors?
The LM95233CISD/NOPB achieves ±0.875°C maximum remote diode temperature accuracy for Intel 65 nm processors within the temperature range of +60°C to +100°C, as specified in the official SNIS145E datasheet. This accuracy is enabled by TruTherm™ BJT beta compensation and requires correct diode model selection in the Remote Diode Model Select register. The LM95233CISD/NOPB maintains this performance without external calibration components.
How does the digital filter affect resolution and TCRIT triggering in LM95233CISD/NOPB?
When enabled, the digital filter on LM95233CISD/NOPB increases remote diode temperature resolution from 0.125°C to 0.03125°C (13-bit unsigned) and applies transient noise clipping to suppress false TCRIT events. Filtered readings are used directly for TCRIT comparisons, and two filter levels (standard/enhanced) are selectable per channel via the Filter Setting Register (0Fh). The enhanced filter rejects impulses >4°C while preserving step response fidelity.
Can LM95233CISD/NOPB monitor more than two remote diodes simultaneously?
No, LM95233CISD/NOPB supports exactly two remote diodes (D1+ and D2+) plus its own local temperature sensor. The architecture dedicates separate current sources, digital filters, offset registers, and limit registers to each remote channel. To monitor additional thermal diodes, multiple LM95233CISD/NOPB devices can be connected to the same SMBus using the three-level A0 address pin to assign unique slave addresses (18h, 2Ah, 2Bh).
What is the function of the D− pin on LM95233CISD/NOPB, and how must it be connected?
The D− pin on LM95233CISD/NOPB serves as the common cathode return path for both remote diodes (D1+ and D2+), functioning as a current sink. It must be connected to the same low-noise ground reference used by the remote diode cathodes - typically the system ground plane. The datasheet explicitly states that D− is not internally connected to device GND (Pin 8), so external routing to GND is mandatory for proper remote sensing operation.
Does LM95233CISD/NOPB support SMBus timeout reset, and what is the required timing?
Yes, LM95233CISD/NOPB supports SMBus timeout reset: holding either SMBDAT or SMBCLK low for 25–35 ms resets the internal SMBus state machine and places both lines in high-impedance mode. This feature complies with SMBus 2.0 specifications and provides robust recovery from bus lockup conditions. The exact timeout window is guaranteed between 25 ms (minimum) and 35 ms (maximum), as documented in the SNIS145E datasheet switching characteristics table.
