Product details
Overview
SA56004BD,112 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 programmable conversion rates from 0.0625 Hz to 26 Hz. It monitors microprocessor thermal diodes or discrete transistors (e.g., 2N3904/2N3906) in server thermal management systems.
For engineers reviewing the SA56004BD,112 datasheet, SA56004BD,112 pinout, SA56004BD,112 application, or SA56004BD,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include remote diode interface compatibility, SMBus 2.0 timeout support, open-drain ALERT/T_CRIT interrupt behavior, and factory-trimmed ±1 °C remote accuracy across −40 °C to +125 °C.
Technical Context
The SA56004BD,112 integrates a Σ-Δ A/D converter with separate local and remote sensing paths, supporting simultaneous 11-bit (0.125 °C LSB) remote diode and on-chip temperature measurements. Its register-mapped SMBus interface enables independent configuration of local/remote high/low thresholds and T_CRIT limits, with status flags for BUSY, LCRIT, RCRIT, OPEN, and alarm conditions.
It implements SMBus time-out protocol compliance and supports both interrupt and comparator modes for the ALERT output via the ALERT Mode (AM) register. The device operates in free-running or software standby mode (IDD < 10 μA), with conversion rate controlled by a 4-bit CR register and remote offset correction via dedicated RTOHB/RTOLB registers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Remote Accuracy | ±1 °C at −25 °C to +100 °C; enables precise CPU die thermal monitoring without calibration. |
| Local Accuracy | ±2 °C over full range; sufficient for ambient or package-level system temperature tracking. |
| Resolution | 11-bit (0.125 °C LSB) for remote/local temp data; allows fine-grained thermal trend analysis. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0 V to 3.6 V; compatible with standard 3.3 V logic rails and avoids level-shifting overhead. |
| Operating Range | −40 °C to +125 °C; supports industrial and server-grade thermal environments. |
| Interface | SMBus 2.0 and I²C Standard/Fast-mode; ensures interoperability with host controllers using common two-wire protocols. |
| Conversion Rate | Programmable 0.0625 Hz to 26 Hz; balances power consumption vs. thermal response latency. |
Pinout & Package
SA56004BD,112 is supplied in SO8 package (SOT96-1), 3.9 mm body width, 8-lead plastic small outline format.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Positive supply input | 3.0–3.6 V DC rail; powers internal circuitry and diode bias current source. |
| D+ | Diode anode current source | Provides 10 μA constant current to forward-bias external PNP or NPN diode junctions. |
| D− | Diode cathode sink | Completes remote diode measurement path; requires connection to diode cathode. |
| T_CRIT | Critical temperature alarm output | Open-drain, active-low; triggers fan activation or emergency shutdown when local/remote exceeds T_CRIT threshold. |
| GND | Power ground reference | Common return for VDD, analog sensing, and digital I/O; must be low-impedance for accuracy. |
| ALERT | General over/undertemperature alarm | Open-drain, active-low; signals out-of-range local or remote temperature per programmed HIGH/LOW thresholds. |
| SDATA | SMBus/I²C bidirectional data line | Open-drain, requires external 10 kΩ pull-up; carries command, address, and register data. |
| SCLK | SMBus/I²C clock input | Open-drain, requires external 10 kΩ pull-up; synchronizes serial communication with host controller. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed remote accuracy | ±1 °C over −25 °C to +100 °C eliminates need for system-level calibration during production. |
| Programmable remote offset | RTOHB/RTOLB registers allow fine-tuning of remote diode readings to compensate for transistor-specific non-idealities. |
| Dual independent alarm outputs | Separate ALERT (configurable HIGH/LOW) and T_CRIT (critical-only) pins enable tiered thermal response strategies. |
| SMBus timeout compliance | Prevents bus lockup during communication faults; enhances reliability in multi-slave server backplanes. |
| Undervoltage lockout | Blocks erroneous temperature reads during power ramp-up or brownout, ensuring valid data only under stable VDD. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM86IMX/NOPB | Same SO8 package and pinout; identical ALERT/T_CRIT functionality but lacks SMBus timeout protocol support. | Valid for legacy SMBus hosts without timeout enforcement; not recommended for new server designs requiring robust bus fault recovery. | Select LM86IMX/NOPB only if SMBus timeout is unused and cost sensitivity outweighs long-term bus reliability requirements. |
| MAX6657ESA+ | SO8 package with matching pin assignment; supports same 0.125 °C resolution but specifies ±2 °C remote accuracy (vs. ±1 °C for SA56004BD,112). | Suitable for less demanding thermal control where ±2 °C tolerance is acceptable; no factory-trimmed remote calibration. | Choose MAX6657ESA+ when absolute remote accuracy is secondary to broad vendor availability and legacy design continuity. |
Compared with LM86IMX/NOPB and MAX6657ESA+, SA56004BD,112 delivers superior remote diode accuracy (±1 °C), mandatory SMBus timeout compliance, and programmable remote offset-making it the preferred choice for high-reliability server and industrial thermal management where precision and bus robustness are critical.

FAQ
What is the remote temperature accuracy specification for SA56004BD,112?
The SA56004BD,112 achieves ±1 °C remote diode temperature accuracy over −25 °C to +100 °C, verified by factory trimming. This applies to standard PNP substrate diodes or discrete NPN/PNP transistors like 2N3904/2N3906 connected to the D+ and D− pins. Local on-chip sensing accuracy is ±2 °C across the full −40 °C to +125 °C operating range. These values are specified in the official NXP SA56004X datasheet Rev. 7.
Does SA56004BD,112 support SMBus timeout protocol?
Yes, SA56004BD,112 fully complies with SMBus 2.0 timeout protocol requirements. This feature prevents bus lockup during communication errors by automatically releasing the bus after a defined timeout period. It is implemented in hardware and requires no software configuration. The timeout behavior is documented in Section 7.1 of the SA56004X datasheet and distinguishes SA56004BD,112 from alternatives like LM86IMX/NOPB that lack this capability.
What package type is used for SA56004BD,112?
SA56004BD,112 is packaged in SO8 (SOT96-1), an 8-lead plastic small outline package with 3.9 mm body width. This matches the pinout and footprint of industry-standard equivalents including LM86, MAX6657/8, and ADM1032. The SO8 variant is optimized for through-hole and surface-mount assembly in server motherboards and industrial control boards.
How does the ALERT output function in interrupt mode for SA56004BD,112?
In interrupt mode (default), SA56004BD,112 asserts ALERT low when any temperature alarm condition occurs (LHIGH, LLOW, RHIGH, RLOW, LCRIT, or RCRIT). Reading the Status register (address 02h) automatically clears the alarm flags and deasserts ALERT, while also setting the ALERT mask bit (bit 7 of CON register) to prevent re-triggering until the host resets it. This ensures clean interrupt service routine handling without spurious repeats.
Can SA56004BD,112 measure both local and remote temperatures simultaneously?
Yes, SA56004BD,112 performs concurrent local (on-die) and remote (diode-connected transistor) temperature measurements in free-running mode. Each conversion cycle updates both the Local Temperature Data Register (LTHB/LTLB) and Remote Temperature Data Register (RTHB/RTLB) with 11-bit, 0.125 °C resolution values. The device uses a shared Σ-Δ ADC with multiplexed inputs, and conversion timing is governed by the programmable Conversion Rate register (CR).
