SMBus INTERFACE
The LM90 operates as a slave on the SMBus, so the SMBCLK line is an input and the SMBData line is bi-
directional. The LM90 never drives the SMBCLK line and it does not support clock stretching. According to
SMBus specifications, the LM90 has a 7-bit slave address. All bits A6 through A0 are internally programmed and
can not be changed by software or hardware.
The complete slave address is:
A6 A5 A4 A3 A2 A1 A0
1 0 0 1 1 0 0
TEMPERATURE DATA FORMAT
Temperature data can only be read from the Local and Remote Temperature registers; the setpoint registers
(T_CRIT, LOW, HIGH) are read/write.
Remote temperature data is represented by an 11-bit, two's complement word with an LSB (Least Significant Bit)
equal to 0.125°C. The data format is a left justified 16-bit word available in two 8-bit registers:
Temperature Digital Output
Binary Hex
+125°C 0111 1101 0000 0000 7D00h
+25°C 0001 1001 0000 0000 1900h

−25°C 1110 0111 0000 0000 E700h
−55°C 1100 1001 0000 0000 C900h
Local Temperature data is represented by an 8-bit, two's complement byte with an LSB (Least Significant Bit)
equal to 1°C:
