Application Information
Noise Filtering
the industry standard practice was to place a capacitor across
the D+ and D− pins to help combat the effects of noise.
However, large capacitances affect the accuracy of the
temperature measurement, leading to a recommended
maximum capacitor value of 1,000 pF. Although this
capacitor reduces the noise, it does not eliminate it, making
it difficult to use the sensor in a very noisy environment.
when it comes to eliminating the effects of noise on the
external sensor. The series resistance cancellation feature
allows a filter to be constructed between the external
temperature sensor and the part. The effect of any filter
resistance seen in series with the remote sensor is
automatically cancelled from the temperature result.
remote temperature sensor to operate in noisy environments.
Figure 21 shows a low−pass R−C−R filter, where R = 100 W
and C = 1 nF. This filtering reduces both common−mode and
differential noise.

The NCT1008 has a major advantage over other devices
The construction of a filter allows the NCT1008 and the
When the THERM2 limit is exceeded, the THERM2
signal asserts low.
If the temperature continues to increase and exceeds the
THERM limit, the THERM output asserts low.
The THERM output deasserts (goes high) when the
temperature falls to THERM limit minus hysteresis. In
Figure 20, there is no hysteresis value shown.
As the system cools further, and the temperature falls
below the THERM2 limit, the THERM2 signal resets.
Again, no hysteresis value is shown for THERM2.

Remote Sensing Diode
transistors built into processors or with discrete transistors.
Substrate transistors are generally PNP types with the
collector connected to the substrate. Discrete types are either
PNP or NPN transistors connected as diodes (base−shorted
to collector). If an NPN transistor is used, the collector and
base are connected to D+ and the emitter to D−. If a PNP
transistor is used, the collector and base are connected to D−
and the emitter to D+.

The ideality factor, nF, of the transistor is a measure of
the deviation of the thermal diode from ideal behavior.
The NCT1008 is trimmed for an nF value of 1.008. The
following equation may be used to calculate the error
introduced at a temperature, T (°C), when using a
transistor whose nF does not equal 1.008. Consult the
processor data sheet for the nF values.
Some CPU manufacturers specify the high and low
current levels of the substrate transistors. The high

current levels do not match the current levels specified
by the CPU manufacturer, it may become necessary to
remove an offset. The CPU data sheet should advise
whether this offset needs to be removed and how to
calculate it. This offset is programmed to the offset
register. It is important to note that if more than one
offset must be considered, the algebraic sum of these
offsets must be programmed to the offset register.

To factor this in, the user writes the DT value to the offset
register. It is then automatically added to, or subtracted
from, the temperature measurement.
