LM20
2.4V, 10碌A(chǔ), SC70, micro SMD Temperature Sensor
General Description
The LM20 is a precision analog output CMOS
integrated-circuit temperature sensor that operates over a
鈭?5藲C to +130藲C temperature range. The power supply op-
erating range is +2.4 V to +5.5 V. The transfer function of
LM20 is predominately linear, yet has a slight predictable
parabolic curvature. The accuracy of the LM20 when speci-
fied to a parabolic transfer function is
鹵
1.5藲C at an ambient
temperature of +30藲C. The temperature error increases lin-
early and reaches a maximum of
鹵
2.5藲C at the temperature
range extremes. The temperature range is affected by the
power supply voltage. At a power supply voltage of 2.7 V to
5.5 V the temperature range extremes are +130藲C and
鈭?5藲C. Decreasing the power supply voltage to 2.4 V
changes the negative extreme to 鈭?0藲C, while the positive
remains at +130藲C.
The LM20鈥檚 quiescent current is less than 10 碌A(chǔ). Therefore,
self-heating is less than 0.02藲C in still air. Shutdown capabil-
ity for the LM20 is intrinsic because its inherent low power
consumption allows it to be powered directly from the output
of many logic gates or does not necessitate shutdown at all.
