SNAS264D April 2006 – February 2024 LM94
PRODUCTION DATA
The processor “remote thermal diode” is more correctly described as a transistor. The LM93 treated the “remote diode” as a diode thus introducing inaccuracies. These inaccuracies have become more apparent as the geometry of processors is shrinking. The LM94 can sense the “remote diode” using a new TruTherm technology that treats the remote device as a transistor. The TruTherm Mode is more accurate for processors on 90nm and smaller geometry. The LM94 still supports the old diode method and is callibrated for 2N3904 transistor type.
