26237C-May 2003 Preliminary Information AMD Athlon™ XP Processor Model 10 Data Sheet 8.12 Thermal Diode Characteristics Thermal Diode Electrical Characteristics The AMD Athlon XP processor model 10 provides a diode that can be used in conjunction with an external temperature sensor to determine the die temperature of the processor. The diode anode (THERMDA) and cathode (THERMDC) are available as pins on the processor, as described in "THERMDA and THERMDC Pins" on page 77. For information about thermal design for the AMD Athlon XP processor model 10, including layout and airflow considerations, see the AMD Processor Thermal, Mechanical, and Chassis Cooling Design Guide, order# 23794, and the cooling guidelines on http://www.amd.com. Table 17 shows the AMD Athlon XP processor model 10 characteristics of the on-die thermal diode. For information about calculations for the ideal diode equation and temperature offset correction, see Appendix A, "Thermal Diode Calculations," on page 77. Table 17. Thermal Diode Electrical Characteristics Symbol Parameter Description Min Nom Max Units Notes I Sourcing current 5 300 µA 1 nf, lumped Lumped ideality factor 1.00000 1.00374 1.00900 2, 3, 4 nf, actual Actual ideality factor 1.00261 3, 4 RT Series Resistance 0.93 Ω 3, 4 Notes: 1. The sourcing current should always be used in forward bias only. 2. Characterized at 95°C with a forward bias current pair of 10 µA and 100 µA. AMD recommends using a minimum of two sourcing currents to accurately measure the temperature of the thermal diode. 3. Not 100% tested. Specified by design and limited characterization. 4. The lumped ideality factor adds the effect of the series resistance term to the actual ideality factor. The series resistance term indicates the resistance from the pins of the processor to the on-die thermal diode. The value of the lumped ideality factor depends on the sourcing current pair used. Thermal Protection Characterization Chapter 8 The following section describes parameters relating to thermal protection. The implementation of thermal control circuitry to control processor temperature is left to the manufacturer to determine how to implement. Electrical Data 39
