Product details
Overview
SA56004CD,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 rate from 0.0625 Hz to 26 Hz. It monitors microprocessor thermal diodes or discrete transistors (e.g., 2N3904/2N3906) in server motherboard thermal management systems.
For engineers reviewing the SA56004CD,112 datasheet, SA56004CD,112 pinout, SA56004CD,112 application, or SA56004CD,112 equivalent, this device supports precise thermal monitoring in multi-zone computing platforms where local + remote sensing, SMBus timeout compliance, and open-drain interrupt signaling are required.
Technical Context
The SA56004CD,112 integrates a 11-bit Σ-Δ A/D converter with separate local and remote sensing paths, factory-trimmed for ±1 °C remote accuracy using external diode junctions. Its dual alarm architecture uses independent status flags and open-drain outputs-ALERT for general out-of-range alerts and T_CRIT for critical shutdown triggers.
It implements SMBus 2.0 protocol compliance including TIMEOUT detection and ARA response capability, with I²C Standard- and Fast-mode compatibility. The device operates from 3.0 V to 3.6 V, includes undervoltage lockout, and supports eight factory-programmed slave addresses for multi-sensor bus configurations.

Use Value: Eight address options allow daisy-chained thermal monitoring across 16+ line cards without address conflict or bus arbitration overhead. |
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 footprint and pinout; identical ALERT/T_CRIT functionality; but only 9-bit resolution (0.5 °C LSB) and no remote offset calibration | Valid for legacy designs where ±2 °C remote accuracy suffices and SMBus timeout is not required | Select LM86IMX/NOPB when cost sensitivity outweighs need for 0.125 °C resolution and diode calibration flexibility |
| MAX6657ESA+ | SO8 package, same pinout; supports 3.0–5.5 V supply (wider than SA56004CD,112's 3.0–3.6 V); lacks T_CRIT hysteresis register | Preferred in mixed-voltage systems where 5 V I/O compatibility is needed, but requires external hysteresis design for critical shutdown | Choose MAX6657ESA+ only if board already uses 5 V I/O rails and T_CRIT hysteresis can be implemented externally |
Compared with LM86IMX/NOPB and MAX6657ESA+, the SA56004CD,112 delivers superior remote accuracy (±1 °C vs. ±2–3 °C), finer resolution (0.125 °C vs. 0.5 °C), and integrated T_CRIT hysteresis-enabling more deterministic thermal shutdown behavior in high-reliability server and industrial applications.

FAQ
What is the remote temperature accuracy specification for SA56004CD,112?
The SA56004CD,112 achieves ±1 °C remote diode temperature accuracy across −40 °C to +125 °C, verified under factory trimming conditions using standard PNP substrate diodes or discrete transistors like the 2N3904. This accuracy holds for properly biased remote diodes with series resistance <5 Ω and meets JEDEC JESD51-1 thermal test standards.
Does SA56004CD,112 support I²C Fast-mode operation?
Yes, SA56004CD,112 is fully compatible with I²C Fast-mode (400 kHz) in addition to SMBus 2.0. Its SCLK and SDATA pins meet I²C electrical specifications, including rise/fall time and bus capacitance limits, enabling interoperability with standard I²C controllers without protocol translation.
How does the T_CRIT output behave when both local and remote temperatures exceed their thresholds?
The SA56004CD,112 activates the T_CRIT output whenever either the local temperature exceeds LCS or the remote temperature exceeds RCS-whichever occurs first. The output remains asserted until both temperatures fall below their respective thresholds minus programmed hysteresis (TH register value), preventing chattering during thermal transients.
Can SA56004CD,112 measure temperature using a single diode connection?
Yes, SA56004CD,112 supports single-diode remote sensing using the D+ and D− pins. It supplies a constant 10 µA current through D+, sinks it at D−, and measures the resulting forward voltage drop-enabling accurate junction temperature extraction from any silicon diode meeting basic ideality and leakage requirements.
What is the default SMBus slave address for SA56004CD,112?
The SA56004CD,112 has a factory-programmed 7-bit SMBus slave address of 1001010 (0x4A in hexadecimal), as defined in Table 4 of the datasheet. This address is stored in OTP memory and cannot be altered in-circuit, ensuring deterministic bus enumeration in multi-sensor systems.
