simple thermal diode probe

don't think you'll like the price ...

What made you assume that those diodes would be routed to external pins of those devices, for your hypothetical device to connect to?

Because in my case, I routed the thermal diode to a test header. I already have the boards.

LM95235 Eval board. Doesn't have a display with temp, but has USB (and presumably software that will show the temp.

One in stock at DigiKey for $120US

I used the LM86 eval board ($100) for monitoring the temp of a Xilinx FPGA during initial board bringup and it worked great. DigiKey doesn't have any in stock, though.

In a similar vein, the LM89 eval board is listed at $78 on TI's site, but availability might be a problem:

If you're willing to spend a little time on this, the other way to approach it might be to pick up a raspberry pi, wire an lm86 or similar to its I2C bus, and connect the diode to that. We picked up a few for tinkering with at work, and they're quite impressive (if you overlook their USB power delivery kludges) - we've connected a few one-wire, I2C and SPI devices to them just to see what's what, and it really does appear to be quite simple to get simple devices up and running.

I ended up with an LM95231 Eval Board from TI. I think this is similar to the other eval boards that were suggested.

It seems like an opportunity for someone.

Thanks
