General Description
The LM32 is a digital temperature sensor that measures 3
temperature zones and has a single-wire interface compat-
ible with National Semiconductor鈥檚 SensorPath bus. Sensor-
Path data is pulse width encoded, thereby allowing the LM32
to be easily connected to many general purpose micro-
controllers. Several National Semiconductor Super I/O prod-
ucts include a fully integrated SensorPath master, that when
connected to an LM32 can realize a hardware monitor func-
tion that includes limit checking for measured values, au-
tonomous fan speed control and many other functions.
The LM32 measures the temperature of its own die as well
as two external devices such as a processor thermal diode
or a diode connected transistor. The LM32 can resolve tem-
peratures up to 255藲C and down to -256藲C. The operating
temperature range of the LM32 is 0藲C to +125藲C. The ad-
dress programming pin allows two LM32s to be placed on
one SensorPath bus.
