Datasheet
If the n
trim 
value used to calculate the Toffset differs from the n
trim 
value used to in a 
temperature sensing device, the T
error(nf)
 may not be accurate. If desired, the Toffset 
can be adjusted by calculating n
actual 
and then recalculating the offset using the n
trim 
as 
defined in the temperature sensor manufacturer’s datasheet.
The n
trim 
used to calculate the Diode Correction Toffset are listed in 
NOTES:
1.
Intel does not support or recommend operation of the thermal diode under reverse bias. 
Intel does not support or recommend operation of the thermal diode when the processor 
power supplies are not within their specified tolerance range.
2.
Characterized across a temperature range of 50-100 °C.
3.
Not 100% tested. Specified by design characterization.
4.
The ideality factor, n, represents the deviation from ideal diode behavior as exemplified by 
the diode equation: 
I
FW
=I
s
 *(e
(qV
D
/nkT)
 -1), 
where I
S
 = saturation current, q = electronic charge, V
= voltage across the diode, k = 
Boltzmann Constant, and T = absolute temperature (Kelvin).
5.
The series resistance, R
TT
, is provided to allow for a more accurate measurement of the 
diode junction temperature. R
TT
 as defined includes the pins of the processor but does not 
include any socket resistance or board trace resistance between the socket and the 
external remote diode thermal sensor. R
TT
 can be used by remote diode thermal sensors 
with automatic series resistance cancellation to calibrate out this error term. Another 
application is that a temperature offset can be manually calculated and programmed into 
an offset register in the remote diode thermal sensors as exemplified by the equation:                                                                          
T
error
 = [R
TT
*(N-1)*I
FWmin
]/[(no/q)*ln N] 
where T
error
 = sensor temperature error, N = sensor current ratio, k = Boltzmann 
Constant, and q = electronic charge.
