LM41 Hardware Monitor with Thermal Diode Inputs and SensorPath™ Bus
General Description
The LM41 is a hardware monitor that measures 2 temperature zones, 5 voltages and has a single-wire interface compatible with National Semiconductor’s SensorPath bus. SensorPath 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.
