• Package 48-pin Lead Free LQFP
3.3.2 Hardware Management Interface
The LM96000, hardware monitor, has a two wire digital interface compatible with SMBus 2.0. Using
an 8-bit Σ∆ ADC, the LM96000 measures:
• The temperature of two remote diode connected transistors as well as its own die
• The VCCP, 2.5V, 3.3VSBY, 5.0V, and 12V supply (internal scaling resistors).
