LM95231BIMM Precision Dual Remote Diode Temperature Sensor

The LM95231BIMM from Texas Instruments is a highly accurate dual remote diode temperature sensor designed for precision temperature monitoring in complex systems. This component is particularly suitable for applications in computers, office electronics, and telecommunications equipment where precise temperature readings are crucial for performance and reliability.

Key Features:

• Dual Temperature Monitoring: The LM95231BIMM can monitor the temperature of two remote diode-connected transistors as well as its own die.
• Accuracy: Offers exceptional accuracy with ±1°C for external diode temperatures and ±2°C for the internal diode temperature over the full temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.
• Interface: Features a user-friendly two-wire SMBus serial interface, which is compatible with system management bus (SMBus) standards.
• Programmable: Comes with programmable digital filter for remote temperature, programmable temperature conversion rate, and programmable limit settings for over-temperature shutdown.
• TruTherm™ Technology: Incorporates TruTherm™ technology, which allows accurate temperature monitoring of modern CPUs and other ICs with diode temperature sensors.

Applications:

• Desktop and Notebook Computers
• Workstations and Servers
• Graphics Cards
• Embedded Systems
• Telecommunications Equipment

The LM95231BIMM is packaged in a small 10-pin VSSOP, making it an ideal choice for space-constrained applications. Its low supply voltage range from 3.0V to 3.6V and low supply current makes it energy-efficient, which is critical for battery-powered devices. The temperature sensor's versatile features and high level of integration make it an essential component for thermal management solutions in advanced electronic systems.
