3.2 PCB LAYOUT for MINIMIZING NOISE
In a noisy environment, such as a processor mother board,
layout considerations are very critical. Noise induced on
traces running between the remote temperature diode sen-
sor and the LM86 can cause temperature conversion errors.
Keep in mind that the signal level the LM86 is trying to
measure is in microvolts. The following guidelines should be
followed:
1. Place a 0.1 µF power supply bypass capacitor as close
2. The recommended 2.2nF diode bypass capacitor actu-

pins. Make sure the traces to the 2.2nF capacitor are
matched.
ally has a range of TBDpF to 3.3nF. The average tem-
perature accuracy will not degrade. Increasing the ca-
pacitance will lower the corner frequency where
differential noise error affects the temperature reading
thus producing a reading that is more stable. Con-
versely, lowering the capacitance will increase the cor-
ner frequency where differential noise error affects the
temperature reading thus producing a reading that is
less stable.
Processor diode pins with the traces being as straight,
short and identical as possible. Trace resistance of 1Ω
can cause as much as 1˚C of error. This error can be
compensated by using the Remote Temperature Offset
Registers, since the value placed in these registers will
automatically be subtracted from or added to the remote
temperature reading.
to either side, above and below if possible. This GND
guard should not be between the D+ and D− lines. In the
event that noise does couple to the diode lines it would
be ideal if it is coupled common mode. That is equally to

Noise coupling into the digital lines greater than 400mVp-p
(typical hysteresis) and undershoot less than 500mV below
GND, may prevent successful SMBus communication with
the LM86. SMBus no acknowledge is the most common
symptom, causing unnecessary traffic on the bus. Although
the SMBus maximum frequency of communication is rather
low (100kHz max), care still needs to be taken to ensure
proper termination within a system with multiple parts on the
bus and long printed circuit board traces. An RC lowpass
filter with a 3db corner frequency of about 40MHz is included
on the LM86’s SMBCLK input. Additional resistance can be
added in series with the SMBData and SMBCLK lines to
further help filter noise and ringing. Minimize noise coupling
by keeping digital traces out of switching power supply areas
as well as ensuring that digital lines containing high speed
data communications cross at right angles to the SMBData
and SMBCLK lines.

ing. Keeping the printed circuit board as clean as pos-
sible will minimize leakage current.
