LM63 ± 1˚C/ ± 3˚C Accurate Remote Diode Digital Temperature Sensor with Integrated Fan Control
General Description
The LM63 is a remote diode temperature sensor with integrated fan control. The LM63 accurately measures: (1) its own temperature and (2) the temperature of a diodeconnected transistor, such as a 2N3904, or a thermal diode commonly found on Computer Processors, Graphics Processor Units (GPU) and other ASIC’s. The LM63 remote temperature sensor’s accuracy is factory trimmed for the series resistance and 1.0021 non-ideality of the Intel ® 0.13 µm Pentium ® 4 and Mobile Pentium 4 Processor-M thermal diode.
