Product details
Overview
SA56004CDP,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 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 SA56004CDP,118 datasheet, SA56004CDP,118 pinout, SA56004CDP,118 application, or SA56004CDP,118 equivalent, this device delivers precise local/remote sensing, factory-trimmed diode interface, SMBus timeout support, and pin compatibility with LM86/MAX6657/ADM1032 for drop-in thermal monitoring upgrades in high-density computing platforms.
Technical Context
The SA56004CDP,118 integrates a Σ-Δ A/D converter with dual input paths: on-chip local sensor and external diode junction via D+/D− terminals. Its register-mapped architecture supports independent configuration of local/remote high/low thresholds and T_CRIT limits, with status flags (LHIGH, RHIGH, LCRIT, RCRIT) reflecting real-time alarm conditions.
It implements SMBus 2.0 protocol compliance including TIMEOUT detection, ALERT interrupt latching (maskable via CON[7]), and ARA response capability. The device operates in free-running mode (default) or software standby (<10 µA quiescent current), with one-shot conversion initiation available during standby.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM86IMMX/NOPB | Same TSSOP8 package and pinout; identical 11-bit resolution but ±2 °C remote accuracy (vs. ±1 °C for SA56004CDP,118) | Lacks SMBus TIMEOUT support and remote offset calibration registers | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs need for highest diode accuracy or advanced fault handling |
| MAX6657ESA+ | Identical pinout and SMBus interface; 12-bit resolution but only ±2.5 °C remote accuracy and no T_CRIT hysteresis register | Supports wider 3.0–5.5 V supply range but lacks OPEN fault detection and diode bias current trimming | Selected when operating above 3.6 V or requiring higher raw resolution without factory calibration |
Compared with LM86IMMX/NOPB and MAX6657ESA+, the SA56004CDP,118 offers superior remote diode accuracy (±1 °C), integrated SMBus TIMEOUT protection, and programmable T_CRIT hysteresis - making it optimal for mission-critical server thermal control where reliability and precision outweigh minor cost differences.

FAQ
What is the remote diode measurement accuracy of the SA56004CDP,118?
The SA56004CDP,118 achieves ±1 °C remote diode temperature accuracy across −40 °C to +125 °C, enabled by factory trimming of the D+/D− current source and internal compensation. This specification applies to standard PNP substrate diodes or discrete NPN/PNP transistors like the 2N3904 and 2N3906 when properly biased and routed per layout guidelines in the SA56004CDP,118 datasheet.
Does the SA56004CDP,118 support SMBus TIMEOUT functionality?
Yes, the SA56004CDP,118 fully complies with SMBus 2.0 specifications including TIMEOUT detection. If SCLK remains low for more than 35 ms, the device resets its internal state machine and releases ALERT/T_CRIT outputs, preventing bus lockup in noisy or faulty system environments - a key reliability feature not present in basic I²C temperature sensors.
How many unique SMBus addresses does the SA56004CDP,118 support?
The SA56004CDP,118 has eight factory-programmed 7-bit SMBus slave addresses (1001 000 to 1001 111). As shown in Table 4 of the SA56004CDP,118 datasheet, SA56004CDP corresponds to address 1001 010, enabling up to eight SA56004CDP,118 devices on a single SMBus without address conflict or external hardware modification.
Can the SA56004CDP,118 measure both local and remote temperatures simultaneously?
The SA56004CDP,118 performs sequential local and remote conversions in free-running mode, completing both measurements every ~38 ms at default 16 Hz rate. While not truly simultaneous, the tight interleaving ensures correlated thermal snapshots - critical for detecting thermal gradients between CPU die and heatsink in server applications using the SA56004CDP,118.
What is the purpose of the T_CRIT hysteresis register in the SA56004CDP,118?
The T_CRIT hysteresis register (address 21h) configures 1–16 °C hysteresis for the T_CRIT output, preventing rapid toggling during critical temperature transitions - for example, when a cooling fan ramps up and causes localized temperature rebound. This hysteresis is programmable independently of ALERT thresholds and directly impacts system stability in closed-loop thermal control using the SA56004CDP,118.
