±
3˚C Accurate Remote Diode Digital Temperature
Sensor with Integrated Fan Control
General Description
The LM63 is a remote diode temperature sensor with inte-
grated fan control. The LM63 accurately measures: (1) its
own temperature and (2) the temperature of a diode-
connected transistor, such as a 2N3904, or a thermal diode
commonly found on Computer Processors, Graphics Pro-
cessor Units (GPU) and other ASIC’s. The LM63 remote
temperature sensor’s accuracy is factory trimmed for the
series resistance and 1.0021 non-ideality of the Intel
®
0.13
µm Pentium
®
4 and Mobile Pentium 4 Processor-M thermal
diode. The LM63 has an offset register to correct for errors
caused by different non-ideality factors of other thermal di-
odes.

The LM63 also features an integrated, pulse-width-
modulated (PWM), open-drain fan control output. Fan speed
is a combination of the remote temperature reading, the
lookup table and the register settings. The 8-step Lookup
Table enables the user to program a non-linear fan speed vs.
temperature transfer function often used to quiet acoustic
fan noise.

Input/Output
Function and Connection
Connect to a low-noise +3.3
±
0.3 VDC power supply, and bypass to GND
with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor in parallel with a 100 pF ceramic capacitor.
A bulk capacitance of 10 µF needs to be in the vicinity of the LM63’s V
DD
pin.
Connect to the anode (positive side) of the remote diode. A 2.2 nF ceramic
capacitor must be connected between pins 2 and 3.
Connect to the cathode (negative side) of the remote diode. A 2.2 nF
ceramic capacitor must be connected between pins 2 and 3.
Open-Drain Digital Output. Connect to fan drive circuitry. The power-on
default for this pin is low (pin 4 pulled to ground).
This is the analog and digital ground return.
Depending on how the LM63 is programmed, this pin is either an
open-drain ALERT output
or
a tachometer input for measuring fan speed.
The power-on default for this pin is the ALERT function.
This is the bi-directional SMBus data line.
Digital Input. This is the SMBus clock input.
