Notes
Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. DC and AC electrical specifications do not apply when operating
the device beyond its rated operating conditions.
Note 2: When the input voltage (VI) at any pin exceeds the power supplies (VI<GND or VI>VDD) the current at that pin should be limited to 5 mA.
Note 3: Reflow temperature profiles are different for lead-free and non-lead-free packages.
Note 4: Human body model, 100 pF discharged through a 1.5 kresistor. Machine model, 200 pF discharged directly into each pin.
Note 5: The life expectancy of the LM95071 will be reduced when operating at elevated temperatures. LM95071 θJA (thermal resistance, junction-to-ambient) when
attached to a printed circuit board with 2 oz. foil is summarized in the table below:

Note 6: The LM95071 will operate properly over the VDD supply voltage range of 2.4V to 5.5V.
Note 7: Typicals are at TA= 25˚C and represent most likely parametric norm.
Note 8: Limits are guaranteed to National’s AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).
Note 9: This specification is provided only to indicate how often temperature data is updated. The LM95071 can be read at any time without regard to conversion
state (and will yield last conversion result). A conversion in progress will not be interrupted. The output shift register will be updated at the completion of the read
and a new conversion restarted.
Note 10: For best accuracy, minimize output loading. Higher sink currents can affect sensor accuracy with internal heating.

1.0 Functional Description
The LM95071 temperature sensor incorporates a tempera-
ture sensor and 13-bit-plus-sign ∆Σ ADC (Delta-Sigma
Analog-to-Digital Converter). Compatibility of the LM95071’s
three-wire serial interface with SPI and MICROWIRE allows
simple communications with common microcontrollers and
processors. Shutdown mode can be used to optimize current
drain for different applications. A Manufacturer/Device ID
register identifies the LM95071 as a National Semiconductor
product.
1.1 POWER UP AND POWER DOWN
The LM95071 always powers up in a known state and in the
continuous conversion mode. Immediately after power up,
the LM95071 will output an erroneous code until the first
temperature conversion has completed.
When the supply voltage is less than about 1.6V (typical),
the LM95071 is considered powered down. As the supply
voltage rises above the nominal 1.6V power up threshold,
the internal registers are reset to the power up default state
described above.
1.2 SERIAL BUS INTERFACE
The LM95071 operates as a slave and is compatible with
SPI or MICROWIRE bus specifications. Data is clocked out
on the falling edge of the serial clock (SC), while data is
clocked in on the rising edge of SC. A complete communi-
cation is framed by falling and rising chip select (CS) signal.
The CS signal should be held high for at least one clock
cycle (160 ns minimum) between communications. The
transmit-only communication (register read) consists of 16
clock cycles. A complete transmit/receive communication will
consist of 32 serial clocks (see Figure 7). The first 16 clocks
comprise the transmit phase of communication, while the
second 16 clocks are the receive phase.
When CS is high SI/O will be in TRI-STATE. Communication
should be initiated by taking chip select (CS) low. This
should not be done when SC is changing from a low to high
state. Once CS is low the serial I/O pin (SI/O) will transmit
the first bit of data. The master can then read this bit with the
rising edge of SC. The remainder of the data will be clocked
out by the falling edge of SC. CS can be taken high at any
time during the transmit phase. If CS is brought low in the
middle of a conversion the LM95071 will complete the con-
version and the output shift register will be updated after CS
is brought back high.
The receive phase of a communication starts after 16 SC
periods. CS can remain low for 32 SC cycles. The LM95071
will read the data available on the SI/O line on the rising
edge of the serial clock. Input data is to an 8-bit shift register.
The part will detect the last eight bits shifted into the register.
The receive phase can last up to 16 SC periods. All ones
must be shifted in order to place the part into shutdown. All
zeros must be shifted in order to place the LM95071 into
continuous conversion mode. Only the following codes
should be transmitted to the LM95071:
00 hex for continuous conversion
FF hex for shutdown
Another code may place the part into a test mode. Test
modes are used by National Semiconductor to thoroughly
test the function of the LM95071 during production testing.
Only eight bits have been defined above since only the last
eight transmitted are detected by the LM95071, before CS is
taken HIGH.
The following communication can be used to determine the
Manufacturer’s/Device ID and then immediately place the
part into continuous conversion mode. With CS continuously
low:
Read 16 bits of temperature data
Write 16 bits of data commanding shutdown
Read 16 bits of Manufacture’s/Device ID data
Write 8 to 16 bits of data commanding Conversion Mode
Take CS HIGH.
Note that 228 ms (max) will have to pass for a conversion to
complete before the LM95071 actually transmits tempera-
ture data.
1.3 TEMPERATURE DATA FORMAT
Temperature data is represented by a 14-bit, two’s comple-
ment word with an LSB (Least Significant Bit) equal to
0.03125˚C:
Temperature Digital Output
Binary Hex
+150˚C 0100 1011 0000 0011 4B03
+125˚C 0011 1110 1000 0011 3E83
+25˚C 0000 1100 1000 0011 0C83
+0.03125˚C 0000 0000 0000 0111 0007
0˚C 0000 0000 0000 0011 0003
−0.03125˚C 1111 1111 1111 1111 FFFF
−25˚C 1111 0011 1000 0011 F383
−40˚C 1110 1100 0000 0011 EC03
The first data byte is the most significant byte with most
significant bit first, permitting only as much data as neces-
sary to be read to determine temperature condition. For
instance, if the first four bits of the temperature data indicate
an overtemperature condition, the host processor could im-
mediately take action to remedy the excessive tempera-
tures.
1.4 SHUTDOWN MODE/MANUFACTURER ID
The master controller may enable the shutdown mode for
the purpose of reducing power consumption or for reading
the Manufacturer/Device ID information. The shutdown
mode is enabled by writing XX FF hex to the LM95071 as
shown in Figure 7c. The serial bus is still active when the
LM95071 is in shutdown. When in shutdown mode the
LM95071 always will output 1000 0000 0000 1111. This is
the Manufacturer/Device ID information. The first 5-bits of
the field (1000 0XXX) are reserved for the manufacturer ID.

1.5 INTERNAL REGISTER STRUCTURE
The LM95071 has three registers: the temperature register,
the configuration register and the Manufacturer/Device iden-
tification register. The temperature and Manufacturer/Device
identification registers are read only. The configuration reg-
ister is write only.
1.5.1 Configuration Register

D0–D15 set to XX 00 hex sets continuous-conversion mode.
Note: setting D0-D15 to any other values may place the LM95071 into a manufacturer’s test mode, upon which the LM95071 will
stop responding as described. These test modes are to be used for National Semiconductor production testing only. See Section
1.2, Serial Bus Interface, for a complete discussion.

3.0 Application Hints
3.1 THERMAL PATH CONSIDERATIONS
To get the expected results when measuring temperature
with an integrated circuit temperature sensor like the
LM95071, it is important to understand that the sensor mea-
sures its own die temperature. For the LM95071, the best
thermal path between the die and the outside world is
through the LM95071’s pins. In the SOT23 package, all the
pins on the LM95071 will have an equal effect on the die
temperature. Because the pins represent a good thermal
path to the LM95071 die, the LM95071 will provide an accu-
rate measurement of the temperature of the printed circuit
board on which it is mounted. There is a less efficient ther-
mal path between the plastic package and the LM95071 die.
If the ambient air temperature is significantly different from
the printed circuit board temperature, it will have a small
effect on the measured temperature.
3.2 OUTPUT CONSIDERATIONS: TIGHT ACCURACY,
FINE RESOLUTION AND LOW NOISE
The LM95071 is well suited for applications that require tight
temperature measurement accuracy. In many applications,
from process control to HVAC, the low temperature error can
mean better system performance and, by eliminating a sys-
tem calibration step, lower production cost.
With it’s fine digital resolution the LM95071 senses and
reports very small changes in its temperature, making it ideal
for applications where temperature sensitivity is important.
For example, the LM95071 enables the system to quickly
identify the direction of temperature change, allowing the
processor to take compensating action before the system
reaches a critical temperature.
The LM95071 has very low output noise (see the Output
Noise plot in the Typical Performance section), which makes
it ideal for applications where stable thermal compensation
is a priority. For example, in a temperature-compensated
oscillator application, the very small deviation in successive
temperature readings translates to a stable frequency output
from the oscillator.
