LM64
±
1C Remote Diode Temperature Sensor with PWM Fan
Control and 5 GPIO’s
General Description
The LM64 is a remote diode temperature sensor with PWM
fan control. The LM64 accurately measures its own tempera-
ture and that of a remote diode. The LM64 remote tempera-
ture accuracy is factory trimmed for a MMBT3904 diode-
connected
transistor
with
a
16C
offset
for
high
temperatures. T

The LM64 features a PWM, open-drain, fan control output, 5
GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) and 5 GPD (General
Purpose Default) pins. The 8-step Lookup Table allows for a
non-linear fan speed vs. temperature transfer function often
used to quiet acoustic fan noise.
