Product details
Overview
STLM75M2E from STMicroelectronics is a digital temperature sensor IC with integrated sigma-delta ADC and I²C/SMBus interface, functioning as a thermal watchdog in system-level thermal management. It delivers ±0.5°C typical accuracy from –55°C to +125°C, operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, draws 125 µA typical supply current, and features an open-drain OS/INT pin configurable as comparator or interrupt output - deployed in PC motherboard thermal monitoring, power supply modules, and industrial controller thermal protection.
For engineers reviewing the STLM75M2E datasheet, STLM75M2E pinout, STLM75M2E application, or STLM75M2E equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed operating modes (comparator/interrupt), real-world thermal alarm use cases, and documented alternatives for drop-in or functional replacement scenarios.
Technical Context
The STLM75M2E implements a bandgap-based temperature sensing element paired with a 9-bit sigma-delta ADC, delivering 16-bit two's complement temperature data with resolution of 0.5°C per LSB. Its digital core includes programmable TOS (overlimit) and THYS (hysteresis) registers, fault-tolerance logic (FT0/FT1 bits), and polarity control (POL bit) for OS/INT output.
It supports full I²C bus timing up to 400 kHz, uses A0–A2 address pins to configure one of eight slave addresses (1001000 to 1001111), and integrates bus timeout detection. Power-up defaults enable immediate thermostat operation without host initialization - critical for fail-safe thermal shutdown in embedded systems.
Key Specifications

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: SDA | Open-drain bidirectional serial data | Requires external pull-up; handles I²C read/write transactions and register access without direction control. |
| 2: SCL | Input serial clock | Master-generated clock synchronizes all data transfers; supports standard/fast-mode I²C timing. |
| 3: OS/INT | Open-drain overlimit/interrupt output | Asserts on thermal threshold breach; polarity and mode (comparator/interrupt) configured via register bits. |
| 4: GND | Power ground reference | Must be connected directly to system ground plane to ensure stable ADC reference and noise immunity. |
| 5: A2 | Address input (LSB) | Configures I²C slave address bit A2; tied high/low to select one of eight unique bus addresses. |
| 6: A1 | Address input (middle bit) | Configures I²C slave address bit A1; used with A0/A2 for multi-device bus topology. |
| 7: A0 | Address input (MSB) | Configures I²C slave address bit A0; enables up to eight STLM75M2E devices on same I²C bus. |
| 8: VDD | Supply voltage input | Accepts 2.7–5.5 V; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor for ADC stability and noise rejection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pin- and software-compatible with LM75B | Drop-in replacement in existing LM75B designs - no layout or firmware changes required. |
| Programmable thermal thresholds | TOS and THYS registers allow runtime adjustment of trip and hysteresis points via I²C, enabling adaptive thermal policies. |
| Fault-tolerant alarm logic | FT0/FT1 bits configure 1–4 consecutive overtemp readings before OS/INT assertion - suppresses false alarms in noisy environments. |
| Standalone thermostat operation | Power-up defaults enable immediate comparator-mode operation without host MCU intervention - critical for safety-critical thermal shutdown. |
| Shutdown mode | Reduces current to <1 µA; preserves register state and allows fast wake-up for periodic thermal sampling. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital temperature sensor and thermal watchdog applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM75BIMM/NOPB | Same pinout and register map; ±2°C max accuracy over –25°C to +100°C, but no bus timeout feature. | Lacks STLM75M2E's bus timeout detection - less robust in electrically noisy industrial I²C buses. | Select when legacy LM75B compatibility is mandatory and bus reliability is ensured by system-level design. |
| MAX31820 | 1-Wire interface (not I²C); ±0.5°C accuracy; integrated 12-bit ADC; requires parasitic power option or VDD connection. | Single-wire topology reduces PCB routing complexity but increases firmware dependency for timing-critical 1-Wire protocol. | Prefer for space-constrained designs where I²C bus loading must be minimized and microcontroller supports 1-Wire stack. |
Compared with LM75BIMM/NOPB, STLM75M2E adds bus timeout protection and tighter accuracy spec; versus MAX31820, it offers simpler I²C integration and deterministic timing - making it optimal for industrial control and power supply thermal guardbanding where bus robustness and ease of validation matter.

FAQ
What is the default OS/INT pin behavior at power-up?
At power-up, the OS/INT pin defaults to active-low comparator mode with TOS = +80°C and THYS = +75°C, enabling immediate standalone thermostat operation without I²C initialization. The fault tolerance is set to 1, and polarity is fixed low unless modified via the configuration register's POL bit.
Can STLM75M2E operate without external pull-up resistors?
No - SDA, SCL, and OS/INT are all open-drain outputs and require external pull-up resistors (typically 4.7 kΩ to VDD) to establish valid logic-high levels. Omitting them results in undefined bus states and non-functional communication or alarm signaling.
How does fault tolerance prevent false alarms?
Fault tolerance (configured via FT0/FT1 bits) requires 1–4 consecutive temperature readings above TOS before asserting OS/INT. This counters transient spikes caused by EMI or measurement noise - especially valuable in motor drives or switching power supplies with high dv/dt interference.
Is STLM75M2E RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes - STLM75M2E is manufactured in accordance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per STMicroelectronics' specification document AN4457, with lead-free MSOP8 package and matte tin terminal finish.
