0.33藲C Accurate, 12-Bit + Sign Temperature Sensor and Thermal Window Comparator with

Serial Bus interface and an
accuracy of
鹵
0.33藲C. The window-comparator architecture
of the LM92 eases the design of temperature control sys-
tems. The open-drain Interrupt (INT) output becomes active
whenever temperature goes outside a programmable win-
dow, while a separate Critical Temperature Alarm
(T_CRIT_A) output becomes active when the temperature
exceeds a programmable critical limit. The INT output can
operate in either a comparator or event mode, while the
T_CRIT_A output operates in comparator mode only.
The host can program both the upper and lower limits of the
window as well as the critical temperature limit. Program-
mable hysterisis as well as a fault queue are available to
minimize false tripping. Two pins (A0, A1) are available for
address selection. The sensor powers up with default thresh-
olds of 2藲C T

T_CRIT.
The LM92鈥檚 2.7V to 5.5V supply voltage range, Serial Bus in-
terface, 12-bit + sign output, and full-scale range of over
128藲C make it ideal for a wide range of applications. These
include thermal management and protection applications in
personal computers, electronic test equipment, office elec-
tronics, automotive, medical and HVAC applications.
