Product details
Overview
SA56004ATK,118 from NXP Semiconductors is an SMBus/I²C-compatible 11-bit remote/local digital temperature sensor with dual overtemperature alarms (ALERT and T_CRIT), ±1 °C remote diode accuracy, and programmable conversion rate (0.0625–26 Hz) for thermal monitoring in server CPU subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the SA56004ATK,118 datasheet, SA56004ATK,118 pinout, SA56004ATK,118 application, or SA56004ATK,118 equivalent, this device delivers precise dual-channel thermal sensing with factory-trimmed remote accuracy, open-drain interrupt outputs, SMBus timeout support, and HVSON8 packaging optimized for high-density server PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SA56004ATK,118 integrates a Σ-Δ A/D converter with separate local and remote sensing paths, supporting diode-connected transistors (e.g., 2N3904/2N3906) or microprocessor substrate PNP junctions. Its architecture includes dedicated offset registers for remote calibration and independent HIGH/LOW/T_CRIT threshold registers per channel.
It implements SMBus 2.0 protocol compliance with TIMEOUT functionality, ALERT mask control (bit 7 of CON register), and RUN/STOP software standby mode reducing supply current to <10 µA. The device uses two's complement 11-bit format (LSB = 0.125 °C) for temperature data and 8-bit format (LSB = 1.0 °C) for T_CRIT setpoints.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Temperature Resolution | 0.125 °C (11-bit two's complement output for local/remote channels) |
| Remote Accuracy | ±1 °C at −40 °C to +125 °C range, factory trimmed for diode junction sensing |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0 V to 3.6 V - undervoltage lockout prevents erroneous readings below threshold |
| Interface | SMBus 2.0 and I²C Standard/Fast-mode compatible - supports ARA response and timeout |
| Conversion Rate | Programmable from 0.0625 Hz to 26 Hz - default 16 Hz (CR = 08h) after power-on reset |
| Operating Range | −40 °C to +125 °C ambient - validated for server motherboard and CPU thermal management |
| Output Types | Dual open-drain interrupts: ALERT (configurable as comparator/interrupt/SMBus ARA) and T_CRIT (critical shutdown trigger) |
Pinout & Package
HVSON8 package (SOT782-1): plastic thermal-enhanced very thin small outline, no leads, 3 mm × 3 mm × 0.85 mm body, exposed thermal pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Positive supply input | 3.0–3.6 V DC supply; powers internal circuitry and diode bias current source |
| D+ | Diode anode current source | Provides 10 µA constant current to forward-bias external thermal diode or transistor junction |
| D− | Diode cathode current sink | Completes remote diode measurement path; enables accurate ΔVBE sensing |
| T_CRIT | Critical temperature alarm output | Open-drain active-LOW signal - triggers fan activation or system shutdown when local/remote exceeds programmed T_CRIT |
| GND | Power ground reference | Common return path for VDD, D+, D−, and internal analog/digital blocks |
| ALERT | General temperature alert output | Open-drain active-LOW interrupt - indicates out-of-range local/remote temperature per HIGH/LOW thresholds |
| SDATA | I²C/SMBus bidirectional data line | Open-drain interface requiring external pull-up; carries command/data during read/write cycles |
| SCLK | I²C/SMBus clock input | Master-generated clock; synchronizes all serial bus transactions with internal timing logic |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-programmed SMBus address | 1001 000 (binary) - enables up to eight SA56004X devices on same bus without conflict |
| Remote diode offset correction | 11-bit programmable offset register (RTOHB/RTOLB) - compensates for parasitic resistance and diode non-ideality |
| Configurable interrupt behavior | ALERT mode register (AM) selects interrupt vs. comparator operation - avoids spurious re-triggering in noisy systems |
| Latch-up immunity | Tested to JEDEC JESD78 (>100 mA) - ensures robustness in industrial/server environments with transient ESD events |
| Thermal hysteresis control | T_CRIT hysteresis register (TH) sets 1–32 °C hysteresis - prevents oscillation during critical temperature transitions |
Applications

|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Real-time junction temperature tracking of multi-core Xeon/EPYC processors using integrated substrate PNP diodes.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM86IMM/NOPB | Same SO8/TSSOP8 pinout; identical 11-bit resolution and ±1 °C remote accuracy; lacks HVSON8 option and T_CRIT hysteresis register | Designed for legacy desktop motherboards; no thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation in dense server layouts | Select LM86IMM/NOPB only if SO8/TSSOP8 footprint and National Semiconductor compatibility are required; SA56004ATK,118 preferred for new HVSON8 designs. |
| MAX6657ESA+ | Shares SMBus interface and ALERT/T_CRIT outputs; remote accuracy ±2 °C (vs. ±1 °C); operates up to 5.5 V (wider VDD range) | Targeted at general-purpose instrumentation; less optimized for high-speed CPU diode sensing due to slower conversion rates | Choose MAX6657ESA+ when wider supply range or legacy Maxim design continuity is critical; SA56004ATK,118 offers superior remote accuracy and thermal package for compute-intensive applications. |
Compared with LM86IMM/NOPB and MAX6657ESA+, the SA56004ATK,118 uniquely combines HVSON8 thermal efficiency, factory-trimmed ±1 °C remote accuracy, and programmable T_CRIT hysteresis-making it optimal for next-generation server thermal management where layout density and precision are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the remote temperature accuracy specification for SA56004ATK,118?
The SA56004ATK,118 achieves ±1 °C remote diode temperature accuracy across −40 °C to +125 °C, enabled by factory trimming and supported by programmable remote offset registers (RTOHB/RTOLB) for post-assembly calibration against known thermal sources.
Does SA56004ATK,118 support both SMBus and I²C protocols?
Yes, SA56004ATK,118 is fully compatible with SMBus 2.0 (including TIMEOUT and ARA features) and I²C Standard-mode (100 kHz) and Fast-mode (400 kHz); its open-drain SDATA/SCLK pins require external 10 kΩ pull-ups per SMBus specification.
What package type is used for SA56004ATK,118 and why is it significant?
SA56004ATK,118 uses the HVSON8 (SOT782-1) package: a leadless 3 mm × 3 mm thermal-enhanced outline with exposed pad. This enables superior heat dissipation in high-power server PCBs and saves board space versus SO8/TSSOP8 alternatives.
How does the T_CRIT output function in SA56004ATK,118?
The T_CRIT output of SA56004ATK,118 is an open-drain active-LOW signal activated when either local or remote temperature exceeds its independently programmable T_CRIT threshold register value; it directly drives cooling fans or initiates hardware shutdown sequences.
Can SA56004ATK,118 be used with diode-connected transistors like the 2N3904?
Yes, SA56004ATK,118 explicitly supports diode-connected NPN transistors (e.g., 2N3904) and PNP transistors (e.g., 2N3906) via its D+/D− terminals, delivering ±1 °C accuracy when configured with appropriate offset compensation and PCB layout practices.
