LM96163 Overview
The LM96163 has remote and local temperature sensors with integrated fan control that includes TruTherm BJT transistor beta pensation technology for remote diode sensing. The LM96163 accurately measures: (1) its own temperature and (2) the temperature of a diode-connected transistor, such as a 2N3904, or a thermal diode monly found on puter Processors, Graphics Processor Units (GPU) and other ASIC's.
