The non-ideality factor, η, is the only other parameter not accounted for and de- pends on the diode that is used for measurement. Since ∆V BE is proportional to both η and T, the variations in η cannot be distinguished from variations in temperature. Since the non-ideality factor is not controlled by the tempera- ture sensor, it will directly add to the inaccuracy of the sensor. For the Pentium 4 processor on 90nm process, Intel specifies a +1.19%/−0.27% variation in η from part to part when the processor diode is measured by a circuit that assumes diode equation, Equation (4), as true. As an ex- ample, assume a temperature sensor has an accuracy specification of ±0.75˚C at a temperature of 65 ˚C (338 Kelvin) and the processor diode has a non-ideality variation of +1.19%/−0.27%. The resulting system accuracy of the processor temperature being sensed will be: T ACC = ± 0.75˚C + (+1.19% of 338 K) = +4.76 ˚C and T ACC = ± 0.75˚C + (−0.27% of 338 K) = −1.65 ˚C TrueTherm technology uses the transistor equation, Equa- tion (5), resulting in a non-ideality spread that truly reflects the process variation which is very small. The transistor equation non-ideality spread is ±0.1% for the Pentium 4 processor on 90nm process. The resulting accuracy when using TruTherm technology improves to: T ACC = ±0.75˚C + (±0.1% of 338 K) = ± 1.08 ˚C The next error term to be discussed is that due to the series resistance of the thermal diode and printed circuit board traces. The thermal diode series resistance is specified on most processor data sheets. For the Pentium 4 processor on 90 nm process, this is specified at 3.33 Ω typical. The LM95231 accommodates the typical series resistance of the Pentium 4 processor on 90 nm process. The error that is not accounted for is the spread of the Pentium’s series resis- tance, that is 3.242 Ω to 3.594Ω or +0.264Ω to −0.088Ω. The equation to calculate the temperature error due to series resistance (T ER) for the LM95231 is simply: (6) Solving Equation (6) for R PCB equal to +0.264 Ω and −0.088 Ω results in the additional error due to the spread in the series resistance of +0.16˚C to −0.05˚C. The spread in error cannot be canceled out, as it would require measuring each individual thermal diode device. This is quite difficult and impractical in a large volume production environment. Equation (6) can also be used to calculate the additional error caused by series resistance on the printed circuit board. Since the variation of the PCB series resistance is minimal, the bulk of the error term is always positive and can simply be cancelled out by subtracting it from the output readings of the LM95231.

National Semiconductor temperature sensors are always calibrated to the typical non-ideality and series resis- tance of a given processor type. The LM95231 is calibrated for two non-ideality factors and series resistance values thus 20120243 FIGURE 3. Thermal Diode Current Paths www.national.com 18 |
