Product details
Overview
SA56004AD,118 from NXP Semiconductors is an SMBus-compatible 11-bit remote/local digital temperature sensor with dual overtemperature alarms (ALERT and T_CRIT), ±1 °C remote diode accuracy, and factory-trimmed offset calibration. It monitors microprocessor thermal diodes or discrete transistors (e.g., 2N3904/2N3906) and operates from −40 °C to +125 °C in server thermal management systems.
For engineers reviewing the SA56004AD,118 datasheet, SA56004AD,118 pinout, SA56004AD,118 application, or SA56004AD,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.125 °C resolution, programmable conversion rate (0.0625–26 Hz), SMBus 2.0 timeout support, open-drain ALERT/T_CRIT outputs, and SO8 package compatibility with LM86/MAX6657/ADM1032 designs.
Technical Context
The SA56004AD,118 integrates a 11-bit Σ-Δ A/D converter for local and remote temperature sensing, with separate high/low and T_CRIT threshold registers for both channels. Its architecture supports simultaneous local die and external diode junction monitoring using dedicated D+ and D− terminals with current-source/sink biasing.
It implements SMBus 2.0 protocol compliance including TIMEOUT detection, ARA response capability, and configurable ALERT output modes (interrupt, comparator, or SMBus alert). The device uses OTP-programmed 7-bit slave address (1001000b), supports 8 address options on one bus, and features latch-up immunity per JEDEC JESD78 (>100 mA).

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors primary-side MOSFET junction via remote diode and secondary-side rectifier temperature locally. Use Value: Dual independent alarm outputs (ALERT and T_CRIT) allow tiered response: fan speed increase (ALERT) followed by graceful shutdown (T_CRIT). |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar remote/local digital temperature sensor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM86IMX/NOPB | Same SO8 pinout and 7-bit address (1001100b); identical ALERT/T_CRIT functionality but no remote offset register | Lacks programmable remote diode offset calibration - less suitable for non-ideal transistor junctions | Preferred when drop-in replacement is required and remote diode matching is consistent across production |
| MAX6657AESA+ | SO8 package, same SMBus interface; remote accuracy ±1.5 °C (vs. ±1 °C), no T_CRIT hysteresis register | Lower remote accuracy and fixed 10 °C T_CRIT hysteresis limit flexibility in critical shutdown timing | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for finest remote calibration or adjustable hysteresis |
Compared with LM86IMX/NOPB and MAX6657AESA+, the SA56004AD,118 provides superior remote diode accuracy (±1 °C), user-adjustable offset compensation, and programmable T_CRIT hysteresis - making it optimal for high-reliability server and industrial thermal control where junction-level precision matters.

FAQ
What is the remote temperature accuracy specification for SA56004AD,118?
The SA56004AD,118 achieves ±1 °C remote temperature accuracy across −40 °C to +125 °C when monitoring diode-connected transistors such as 2N3904 or 2N3906, enabled by factory trimming and supported by programmable remote offset registers (RTOHB/RTOLB) in the SA56004AD,118.
Does SA56004AD,118 support I²C communication in addition to SMBus?
Yes, the SA56004AD,118 is compatible with I²C Standard-mode (100 kHz) and Fast-mode (400 kHz) in addition to full SMBus 2.0 compliance, including TIMEOUT detection and Alert Response Address (ARA) protocol - all implemented via the same SDATA/SCLK interface used by the SA56004AD,118.
How does the SA56004AD,118 handle remote diode disconnection detection?
The SA56004AD,118 continuously monitors D+/D− terminal voltage and sets the OPEN bit (D2) in the Status Register (SR) when an open-circuit condition is detected on the remote diode path. This fault flag triggers the ALERT output if not masked, preventing false thermal alarms and enabling diagnostics in the SA56004AD,118.
What is the default SMBus slave address for SA56004AD,118?
The SA56004AD,118 has a factory-programmed 7-bit SMBus slave address of 1001000b (0x48 hexadecimal), as defined in Table 4 of the NXP datasheet. This address is stored in OTP memory and cannot be changed, distinguishing it from other SA56004X variants like SA56004ED,118 (0x4C).
Can SA56004AD,118 operate with a 5.0 V supply?
No, the SA56004AD,118 is specified for 3.0 V to 3.6 V operation only. Although the VDD pin description states "DC voltage from 3.0 V to 5.5 V", the Absolute Maximum Ratings and functional specifications in the SA56004AD,118 datasheet confirm guaranteed operation only within 3.0–3.6 V, with undervoltage lockout activating below 2.7 V.
