藲C over a full 鈭?5 to +150藲C tempera-
ture range. Low cost is assured by trimming and calibration
at the wafer level. The LM35鈥檚 low output impedance, linear
output, and precise inherent calibration make interfacing to
readout or control circuitry especially easy. It can be used
with single power supplies, or with plus and minus supplies.
As it draws only 60 碌A(chǔ) from its supply, it has very low
self-heating, less than 0.1藲C in still air. The LM35 is rated to
operate over a 鈭?5藲 to +150藲C temperature range, while the
LM35C is rated for a 鈭?0藲 to +110藲C range (鈭?0藲 with im-
proved accuracy). The LM35 series is available packaged in
hermetic TO-46 transistor packages, while the LM35C,
LM35CA, and LM35D are also available in the plastic TO-92
transistor package. The LM35D is also available in an 8-lead
surface mount small outline package and a plastic TO-220
package.
