Product details
Overview
SA56004GD,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 SA56004GD,112 datasheet, SA56004GD,112 pinout, SA56004GD,112 application, or SA56004GD,112 equivalent, key selection factors include its SO8 package, factory-programmed SMBus address (1001 110), 3.0–3.6 V operation, open-drain ALERT/T_CRIT outputs, and compatibility with LM86/MAX6657/ADM1032 in thermal monitoring designs.
Technical Context
The SA56004GD,112 integrates a Σ-Δ A/D converter for 11-bit (0.125 °C LSB) remote and local temperature measurements, with separate high/low and T_CRIT threshold registers for both channels. Its architecture supports SMBus 2.0 timeout protocol and dual interrupt outputs-ALERT (active-Low, maskable) and T_CRIT (active-Low, critical shutdown trigger).
It features factory-trimmed remote sensing, programmable offset correction for diode non-ideality, undervoltage lockout, and latch-up immunity exceeding 100 mA per JEDEC JESD78. The device operates in free-running or software standby mode (<10 µA quiescent current), with register-based configuration via SMBus/I²C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Temperature resolution | 11-bit (0.125 °C LSB) for remote/local sensing - enables precise thermal margining in CPU/GPU thermal throttling. |
| Remote accuracy | ±1 °C at −40 °C to +125 °C - meets server-grade thermal diode monitoring requirements without calibration. |
| Local accuracy | ±2 °C - sufficient for ambient or die-temperature reference in system-level thermal control loops. |
| Supply voltage | 3.0 V to 3.6 V - matches modern low-voltage server motherboard power rails; excludes 5 V operation. |
| Conversion rate | Programmable 0.0625 Hz to 26 Hz - allows dynamic trade-off between update latency and power consumption. |
| SMBus address | Factory-programmed 7-bit address 1001 110 - one of eight unique addresses enabling multi-sensor configurations on shared bus. |
| Operating range | −40 °C to +125 °C - supports industrial and server environments including hot-swap and extended-temperature applications. |
Pinout & Package
SA56004GD,112 is supplied in the SO8 (SOT96-1) plastic small outline package, 8-lead, 3.9 mm body width, lead pitch 1.27 mm, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Positive supply input | Accepts 3.0–3.6 V; powers internal circuitry and diode bias current source. |
| D+ | Diode anode current source | Provides constant-current excitation (≈10 µA) to remote PNP or NPN diode junctions. |
| D− | Diode cathode sink | Completes remote diode bias path; enables accurate forward-voltage measurement. |
| T_CRIT | Critical temperature alarm output | Open-drain, active-Low signal requiring external pull-up; triggers fan activation or system shutdown. |
| GND | Power ground reference | Common return for VDD, analog sensing, and digital I/O; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| ALERT | General over/undertemperature alarm | Open-drain, active-Low interrupt output; configurable as comparator or latched SMBus alert. |
| SDATA | SMBus/I²C bidirectional data line | Open-drain interface requiring external pull-up; supports Standard/Fast-mode I²C and SMBus 2.0. |
| SCLK | SMBus/I²C clock input | Input-only clock line requiring external pull-up; synchronizes all register read/write operations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Remote diode sensing | ±1 °C accuracy with factory trimming - eliminates need for system-level calibration in server thermal subsystems. |
| Programmable offset registers | 11-bit remote offset adjustment (RTOHB/RTOLB) - compensates for diode ideality factor and series resistance errors. |
| Dual independent alarms | Separate ALERT (configurable hysteresis) and T_CRIT (critical shutdown) outputs - enables tiered thermal response (warning → mitigation → shutdown). |
| SMBus 2.0 compliance | Full TIMEOUT protocol support - prevents bus lockup during communication faults in mission-critical systems. |
| Low-power standby mode | <10 µA quiescent current with SMBus active - maintains remote monitoring capability while minimizing idle power in energy-sensitive platforms. |
Applications

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, identical pinout, 11-bit resolution, but ±2 °C remote accuracy and no SMBus timeout support. | Lacks T_CRIT hysteresis register and remote offset correction; less suitable for high-accuracy server thermal control. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs ±1 °C accuracy requirement and SMBus robustness is not critical. |
| MAX6657AESA+ | SO8 pin-compatible, 11-bit resolution, ±1.5 °C remote accuracy, supports 3.0–5.5 V supply (wider than SA56004GD,112). | No T_CRIT output; uses single ALERT with programmable hysteresis only - requires external logic for critical shutdown. | Choose for mixed-voltage systems where 5 V tolerance is needed and dual-alarm architecture is unnecessary. |
Compared with LM86IMX/NOPB and MAX6657AESA+, the SA56004GD,112 delivers superior remote accuracy (±1 °C vs. ±1.5–2 °C), dedicated T_CRIT output for hardware-level shutdown, and SMBus timeout protection - making it optimal for high-reliability server and telecom thermal management where deterministic fault response is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the SMBus slave address of SA56004GD,112?
The SA56004GD,112 has a factory-programmed 7-bit SMBus slave address of 1001 110 (0x4E in hexadecimal). This address is stored in OTP memory and cannot be changed. It is one of eight unique addresses available across the SA56004X family, allowing up to eight SA56004GD,112 devices on a single SMBus without conflict.
Does SA56004GD,112 support both SMBus and I²C protocols?
Yes, SA56004GD,112 is fully compatible with SMBus 2.0 and I²C Standard-mode (100 kHz) and Fast-mode (400 kHz). It implements SMBus-specific features including TIMEOUT detection and Alert Response Address (ARA) support, while maintaining electrical and timing compliance with I²C specifications for interoperability with standard I²C controllers.
How does the remote diode sensing accuracy of SA56004GD,112 compare to its local sensor?
The SA56004GD,112 achieves ±1 °C remote diode accuracy across −40 °C to +125 °C due to factory trimming, while its on-chip local temperature sensor is specified at ±2 °C. This differential reflects the higher complexity and variability of external diode measurement versus internal silicon sensing, and is consistent with industry-standard thermal diode sensor performance.
Can SA56004GD,112 operate from a 5 V supply?
No, SA56004GD,112 is rated for 3.0 V to 3.6 V only. Operation outside this range may cause functional failure or permanent damage. Unlike some competing sensors (e.g., MAX6657), it does not support 5 V operation - design must ensure clean, regulated 3.3 V supply with adequate decoupling near the VDD pin.
What is the function of the T_CRIT output on SA56004GD,112?
The T_CRIT output on SA56004GD,112 is an open-drain, active-Low signal that asserts when either the local or remote temperature exceeds its independently programmed T_CRIT threshold register value. It is intended for direct connection to hardware shutdown circuits, cooling fan enable inputs, or system reset controllers - providing deterministic, non-software-dependent thermal safety response.
