12.0 Temperature Sensor (TMS)

12.1 OVERVIEW

The Temperature Sensor (TMS) is a diode input temperature sensor which consists of a Delta-Sigma Analog to Digital (A/D)

converter and a digital overtemperature detector. Both of these elements conform to Advance Configuration and Power In-

terface (ACPI) requirements for thermal management.

The TMS senses its own temperature and the temperature of two target ICs by measuring the voltage drop of diode(s)

placed on the target IC’s die. A host can query the TMS at any time to read the temperature of remote diode(s) as well as

the local temperature. An ALERT interrupt output becomes active when the temperature goes above THIGH or below TLOW.

The host may program the two thresholds for each sensing channel to define an operation window. Overtemperature Shut-

down (OTS) output becomes active when the temperature exceeds the programmable limit TOS.

12.2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The TMS incorporates a band-gap temperature sensor using a local and remote diode(s) and an 8-bit Delta-Sigma Analog-

to-Digital Converter (A/D converter). Once enabled and put in active (non-standby mode), the TMS continuously measures

temperature of up to one internal diode and two remote diodes. TMS readings are available at all times via the host interface.

When SLPS3 input becomes inactive, the conversion is stopped and no new results are generated until both SLPS3 be-

comes active, and the internal wake up sequence is completed. TMS registers are maintained by VSB during this period.

A digital comparator is also incorporated to compare temperature readings to user-programmable limits. OTS output indi-

cates that the result of the comparison exceeds the limit preset in the Channel Overtemperature Limit register. ALERT output

indicates that the result of the comparison is not within limits preset in the Channel Temperature High or Low Limit (CHTH

and CHTL) registers.

Figure 41 shows a simplified block diagram of the TMS. It represents only the local diode and one remote diode (even though

there are actually two remote diodes in addition to the local diode, and one or three OTS signals; combined or one for each

diode sensor).
