3 Description

The LM64 is a remote diode temperature sensor

with PWM fan control. The LM64 accurately

measures its own temperature and that of a remote

diode. The LM64 remote temperature accuracy is

factory trimmed for a MMBT3904 diode-connected

transistor with a 16°C offset for high temperatures.

TACTUAL DIODE JUNCTION = TLM64 + 16°C

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.
