Product details
Overview
SA56004HD,118 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 motherboard thermal management systems.
For engineers reviewing the SA56004HD,118 datasheet, SA56004HD,118 pinout, SA56004HD,118 application, or SA56004HD,118 equivalent, key selection considerations include its SO8 package compatibility with LM86/MAX6657/ADM1032, factory-trimmed 8-device address options, open-drain ALERT/T_CRIT outputs with hysteresis control, and SMBus 2.0 timeout support for system reliability.
Technical Context
The SA56004HD,118 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 8-bit local die temperature measurements. Its register-mapped SMBus interface enables independent configuration of high/low/critical thresholds per channel, offset correction for remote diode non-ideality, and fault detection including diode open-circuit monitoring.
It implements dual interrupt outputs: ALERT (active-Low, maskable, supports comparator/interrupt/ARA modes) and T_CRIT (active-Low, dedicated critical shutdown signal). The device operates in free-running or software standby mode (<10 µA quiescent current), with conversion rate programmable via the 4-bit CR register and power-on reset defaults including 70 °C high limits and 85 °C T_CRIT setpoints.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Temperature Resolution | 11-bit remote/local data (0.125 °C LSB); 8-bit T_CRIT/limit registers (1.0 °C LSB) |
| Remote Accuracy | ±1 °C at −40 °C to +125 °C range, factory-trimmed for PNP substrate or discrete diode-connected transistors |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0 V to 3.6 V - undervoltage lockout prevents erroneous readings during brown-out |
| Interface Protocol | SMBus 2.0 compliant with timeout support; also I²C Standard/Fast-mode compatible |
| Conversion Rate | Programmable from 0.0625 Hz to 26 Hz - enables dynamic trade-off between update latency and power consumption |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C ambient - validated for server CPU/GPU thermal monitoring environments |
| Device Address Options | 8 factory-programmed 7-bit SMBus addresses - allows up to eight SA56004X sensors on one bus without conflict |
Pinout & Package
SA56004HD,118 is supplied in the SO8 (SOT96-1) plastic small outline package: 8-lead, 3.9 mm body width, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Positive supply input | 3.0–3.6 V DC supply; powers internal circuitry and bias current sources for remote diode sensing |
| D+ | Diode anode current source | Provides constant current (≈10 µA) to forward-bias external PNP or NPN diode junctions |
| D− | Diode cathode sink | Completes remote diode current path; voltage drop across D+/D− reflects junction temperature |
| T_CRIT | Critical temperature alarm output | Open-drain, active-Low output requiring external pull-up; triggers fan activation or system shutdown when local/remote exceeds programmed T_CRIT threshold |
| GND | Power ground reference | Common return path for VDD, D+, D−, and internal analog/digital blocks |
| ALERT | General temperature alert output | Open-drain, active-Low output requiring external pull-up; signals out-of-range conditions (high/low) for local or remote channels |
| SDATA | SMBus/I²C bidirectional data line | Open-drain serial data line; requires external pull-up; supports read/write of 16+ configuration and status registers |
| SCLK | SMBus/I²C clock input | Master-generated clock signal; synchronizes all register access and conversion timing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Remote diode offset calibration | Adjustable 11-bit remote temperature offset register (RTOHB/RTOLB) compensates for transistor non-ideality and PCB trace resistance |
| Configurable interrupt behavior | ALERT output supports three modes: comparator (self-clearing), interrupt (latched until status read), or SMBus ARA response - selectable via AM register bit D0 |
| Fault-tolerant sensing | Integrated OPEN fault detection identifies disconnected remote diodes; BUSY flag prevents register reads during conversion |
| Thermal hysteresis control | Programmable T_CRIT hysteresis (0–31 °C in 1 °C steps) prevents oscillation during critical temperature transitions |
| Low-power standby operation | Software-controlled RUN/STOP bit reduces supply current to <10 µA while retaining register state and enabling one-shot conversions |

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 SO8 package and pinout; identical 11-bit remote resolution but ±1.5 °C remote accuracy (vs. ±1 °C for SA56004HD,118); no T_CRIT hysteresis register | Valid for legacy designs requiring drop-in replacement where ±0.5 °C remote accuracy margin is acceptable | Select LM86IMMX/NOPB only if existing layout uses National Semiconductor footprint and SMBus address 1001100b is required |
| MAX6657AESA+ | SO8 package; same ALERT/T_CRIT dual-output architecture; 0.25 °C remote resolution (vs. 0.125 °C); supports 3.0–5.5 V supply (wider than SA56004HD,118's 3.0–3.6 V) | Better suited for mixed-voltage industrial boards where 5 V SMBus controllers coexist with 3.3 V logic | Choose MAX6657AESA+ when system-level supply tolerance exceeds 3.6 V or when legacy MAX6657 firmware integration is prioritized |
Compared with LM86IMMX/NOPB and MAX6657AESA+, SA56004HD,118 delivers superior remote accuracy (±1 °C), finer 0.125 °C resolution, and configurable T_CRIT hysteresis - making it optimal for next-generation server thermal management where precision and reliability margins are critical.

FAQ
What is the remote temperature accuracy specification for SA56004HD,118?
The SA56004HD,118 achieves ±1 °C remote diode temperature accuracy across the full −40 °C to +125 °C operating range, verified under factory trimming conditions using standard PNP substrate diodes or discrete 2N3904/2N3906 transistors. This accuracy holds without user calibration and is documented in the NXP SA56004X product data sheet Rev. 7.
Does SA56004HD,118 support I²C communication in addition to SMBus?
Yes, SA56004HD,118 is fully compatible with I²C Standard-mode (100 kHz) and Fast-mode (400 kHz) protocols in addition to SMBus 2.0. Its SDATA and SCLK pins implement open-drain signaling with built-in timeout protection, and it responds to standard I²C START/STOP/ACK sequences - enabling interoperability with generic I²C masters where SMBus-specific commands are not required.
How many unique SMBus addresses does SA56004HD,118 support?
SA56004HD,118 has a factory-programmed 7-bit SMBus slave address of 1001111b (0x4F), one of eight fixed options in the SA56004X family. This allows up to eight SA56004X devices - including SA56004HD,118 - to share a single SMBus without address conflict, provided each uses a distinct type number (e.g., SA56004AD through SA56004HD).
What is the function of the D+ and D− pins on SA56004HD,118?
The D+ and D− pins on SA56004HD,118 form a dedicated current-source/sink pair for remote diode temperature sensing. D+ supplies a constant ~10 µA current to the anode of an external PNP substrate diode or NPN transistor (e.g., 2N3904), while D− sinks that current from the cathode. The resulting voltage drop, measured internally, correlates directly to junction temperature with 0.125 °C resolution.
Can SA56004HD,118 operate in low-power standby mode, and how is it controlled?
Yes, SA56004HD,118 supports software-configurable low-power standby mode. Setting bit 6 (RUN/STOP) of the Configuration register (address 03h/09h) to logic HIGH halts the internal oscillator and reduces supply current to <10 µA. The device retains all register values and remains responsive to SMBus commands; a one-shot conversion can be triggered at any time, after which it automatically returns to standby.
