LM75AIMX/NOPB is an industrial-grade digital temperature sensor launched by Texas Instruments (TI), based on a Sigma-Delta ADC architecture and IC two-wire interface.
LM75AIMX/NOPB is an industrial-grade digital temperature sensor launched by Texas Instruments (TI), based on a Sigma-Delta ADC architecture and IC two-wire interface. It adopts an 8-pin SOIC package (model D0008A), featuring a wide temperature measurement range of -55°C to +125°C and high accuracy of ±3°C (full temperature range). As a high-reliability model in the LM75A series, it integrates an over-temperature protection output (O.S.), low-power shutdown mode, and multi-device bus compatibility. No external components are required for independent temperature control, making it widely applicable to communication infrastructure, industrial automation, electronic test equipment, and other scenarios as a core component for system thermal management.
Key Features
High-Precision Wide-Range Temperature Sensing:9-bit resolution (minimum precision 0.5°C), ±2°C accuracy from -25°C to +100°C, and ±3°C accuracy from -55°C to +125°C, meeting industrial-grade temperature monitoring needs.
Flexible Thermal Protection:Integrates programmable over-temperature threshold (TOS) and hysteresis temperature (THYST) with default values of 80°C/75°C. Supports both comparator and interrupt trigger modes, with O.S. output configurable for active high/low levels to adapt to different system protection logics.
Low-Power Design:Typical operating current of 280μA, and shutdown mode current as low as 4μA (3V supply), significantly reducing system power consumption for battery-powered or low-power devices.
Multi-Device Bus Compatibility:Three address pins (A0-A2) support up to 8 devices sharing the same IC bus, simplifying circuit design for multi-zone temperature monitoring.
High-Reliability Packaging:8-pin SOIC package (1.27mm pitch) with junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 200°C/W, supporting an industrial operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C for harsh environments.

1. How does the IC bus timeout function of LM75AIMX/NOPB work, and what is the timeout range? >
The LM75AIMX/NOPB features an IC bus fault timeout function. When the SDA line is continuously pulled low beyond the timeout period, the device resets the SDA to an idle high-impedance state to restore bus communication. According to the datasheet, the SDA low-level reset timeout (tTIMEOUT) ranges from a minimum of 75ms to a maximum of 325ms; note that this timeout function is inactive in shutdown mode.

2. What is the purpose of the "fault queue" function of this device, and what fault counts can be set? >
The fault queue function prevents false triggering of the O.S. overtemperature output in noisy environments. It only activates the O.S. output after consecutively detecting the set number of "temperature over-threshold" faults. Per the document, the number of faults can be set via bits D3-D4 of the configuration register: 00 (1 fault, power-up default), 01 (2 faults), 10 (4 faults), 11 (6 faults), adapting to application scenarios with different noise levels.

3. What is the function of the Product ID register of LM75AIMX/NOPB, and what is the fixed identification value read from it? >
The Product ID register is a read-only register used to uniquely identify the device model and version, avoiding confusion with other models. According to the datasheet, bits D7-D4 of the Product ID register (pointer address 07h) are a fixed product identification nibble, always returning "1010" (hex 0xA); bits D3-D0 are the die revision nibble, defaulting to "0001" (hex 0x1), which distinguishes different revision levels of LM75A devices.

4. In stand-alone thermostat mode (no IC bus connected), how to ensure stable operation of LM75AIMX/NOPB? Are additional circuits required? >
The LM75AIMX/NOPB defaults to stand-alone thermostat mode (comparator mode, TOS=80°C, THYST=75°C) at power-up, working without IC communication. For improved noise immunity, it is recommended to short the address pins (A0-A2), SCL, and SDA together, then connect them to +Vs via a 10kΩ pull-up resistor; if shorting is not required, each pin can also be connected to +Vs via a separate 10kΩ pull-up resistor. No other additional circuits are needed to achieve stable overtemperature protection.
