AMD Preliminary Information
The formulas in Equation (3) and Equation (4) can be used to 
calculate the temperature offset for temperature sensors that 
do not employ series resistance cancellation.  The result is 
added to the value measured by the temperature sensor. 
Contact the vendor of the temperature sensor being used for 
the value of n
f,TS
.  Refer to the document, On-Die Thermal Diode 
Characterization, order# 25443, for further details.
Equation (3) shows the equation for calculating the lumped 
ideality factor (n
f, lumped
) in sensors that do not employ series 
resistance cancellation.
Equation (4) shows the equation for calculating temperature 
offset (T
offset
) in sensors that do not employ series resistance 
cancellation.
Equation (5) is the temperature offset for temperature sensors 
that utilize series resistance cancellation.  Add the result to the 
value measured by the temperature sensor.  Note that the value 
of n
f,TS
 in Equation (5) may not equal the value used in 
(3)
