LM45B LM45C
SOT-23 Precision Centigrade Temperature Sensors
General Description
The LM45 series are precision integrated-circuit tempera-
ture sensors whose output voltage is linearly proportional to
the Celsius (Centigrade) temperature The LM45 does not
require any external calibration or trimming to provide accu-
racies of
g
2 C at room temperature and
g
3 C over a full
b
20 to
a
100 C temperature range Low cost is assured by
trimming and calibration at the wafer level The LM45鈥檚 low
output impedance linear output and precise inherent cali-
bration make interfacing to readout or control circuitry espe-
cially easy It can be used with a single power supply or with
plus and minus supplies As it draws only 120
mA
from its
supply it has very low self-heating less than 0 2 C in still
air The LM45 is rated to operate over a

20 to
a

temperature range
