General Description
The LM41 is a hardware monitor that measures 2 tempera-
ture zones, 5 voltages and has a single-wire interface com-
patible with National Semiconductor鈥檚 SensorPath bus. Sen-
sorPath data is pulse width encoded, thereby allowing the
LM41 to be easily connected to many general purpose
micro-controllers. Several National Semiconductor Super I/O
products include a fully integrated SensorPath master, that
when connected to the LM41 can realize a hardware monitor
function that includes limit checking for measured values,
autonomous fan speed control and many other functions.
The LM41 measures the temperature of its own die as well
as one external device such as a processor thermal diode or
a diode connected transistor. The LM41 can resolve tem-
peratures up to 255藲C and down to -256藲C. The operating
temperature range of the LM41 is 0藲C to +125藲C. Using

ADC it measures +1.2V, +2.5V, +3.3V, +5V and +12V analog
input voltages with internal scaling resistors. The address
programming pin allows two LM41鈥檚 to be placed on one
SensorPath bus.
