SNIS139F February 2005 – January 2024 LM95231
PRODUCTION DATA
The LM95231 is equipped with operational circuitry designed to detect fault conditions concerning the remote diodes. In the event that the D+ pin is detected as shorted to GND, D−, VDD or D+ is floating, the Remote Temperature reading is –128.000 °C if signed format is selected and +255.875 if unsigned format is selected. In addition, the appropriate status register bits RD1M or RD2M (D1 or D0) are set. When TruTherm mode is active the condition of diode short of D+ to D− will not be detected. Connecting a 2N3904 transistor with TruTherm mode active may cause a detection of a diode fault.
