Product details
Overview
SA56004FD,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 SA56004FD,112 datasheet, SA56004FD,112 pinout, SA56004FD,112 application, or SA56004FD,112 equivalent, key selection considerations include its SO8 package, factory-programmed SMBus address (1001 101), 3.0–3.6 V supply range, open-drain ALERT/T_CRIT outputs, and remote offset calibration capability.
Technical Context
The SA56004FD,112 integrates a Σ-Δ A/D converter with separate local and remote sensing paths, supporting simultaneous 11-bit (0.125 °C LSB) temperature measurements. Its register-mapped SMBus 2.0 interface includes timeout protection, configurable RUN/STOP control, and status-driven interrupt latching via ALERT and T_CRIT pins.
It implements dual alarm architecture: ALERT signals out-of-range conditions (local/remote HIGH/LOW thresholds), while T_CRIT activates only on critical overtemperature events (programmable at 85 °C default). Remote diode measurement uses D+/D− current source/sink terminals with factory-trimmed offset compensation.

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 package and pinout; identical 11-bit resolution and SMBus interface; lacks remote offset register | No remote diode calibration - less accurate with non-ideal transistors like 2N3906 | Choose LM86IMX/NOPB only if remote diode matching is consistent across production units |
| MAX6657ESA+ | SO8 package; same ALERT/T_CRIT outputs; 12-bit resolution (0.0625 °C) but no T_CRIT hysteresis register | Higher resolution but fixed 10 °C T_CRIT hysteresis - less flexible for fast-transient ASICs | Select MAX6657ESA+ when sub-0.1 °C resolution is prioritized over programmable hysteresis |
Compared with LM86IMX/NOPB and MAX6657ESA+, SA56004FD,112 uniquely combines factory-trimmed ±1 °C remote accuracy, programmable T_CRIT hysteresis, and remote offset calibration - making it optimal for high-reliability server and industrial thermal designs where diode variation must be compensated.

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed SMBus address for SA56004FD,112?
The SA56004FD,112 has a fixed 7-bit SMBus slave address of 1001 101 (0x4D in hexadecimal), as defined in Table 4 of the datasheet. This address is stored in OTP memory and cannot be modified. It allows up to eight SA56004X devices - including SA56004FD,112 - to coexist on the same SMBus without conflict when using distinct address variants.
Does SA56004FD,112 support both SMBus and I²C protocols?
Yes, SA56004FD,112 is fully compatible with SMBus 2.0 and I²C Standard-mode (100 kHz) and Fast-mode (400 kHz). Its open-drain SDATA and SCLK pins meet electrical specifications for both buses, and its timeout protocol satisfies SMBus requirements. No configuration is needed to switch between protocols - behavior is determined by the master controller's signaling.
How is remote diode accuracy maintained across temperature and process variation in SA56004FD,112?
SA56004FD,112 achieves ±1 °C remote accuracy through factory trimming of internal current sources and offset compensation circuitry. Each unit undergoes calibration against traceable thermal standards, and the resulting correction values are stored in OTP. Additionally, the SA56004FD,112 provides user-accessible remote offset registers (RTOHB/RTOLB) to fine-tune for specific diode characteristics post-deployment.
Can SA56004FD,112 operate outside the 3.0–3.6 V supply range specified in the datasheet?
No - SA56004FD,112 is rated strictly for 3.0 V to 3.6 V operation. The datasheet specifies undervoltage lockout (UVLO) that disables measurement functionality below ~2.85 V to prevent invalid readings. Operation above 3.6 V risks permanent damage, as absolute maximum ratings cap VDD at 3.8 V. For wider supply ranges, consider alternative sensors with integrated LDOs or voltage supervisors.
What is the function of the T_CRIT hysteresis register (TH) in SA56004FD,112?
The TH register (address 21h) configures hysteresis for the T_CRIT output, ranging from 1 °C to 31 °C in 1 °C steps. This prevents rapid toggling of the T_CRIT signal during thermal transients near the critical threshold. For example, if RCS is set to 105 °C and TH = 0Ah (10 °C), T_CRIT deasserts only when temperature falls to 95 °C - ensuring stable fan control or shutdown sequencing in SA56004FD,112-based systems.
