ELM331
Solid State Thermostat
Description
Features
The ELM331 is
measurement and control system in an 8 pin
package.
a
complete temperature
• Low power CMOS design - typically 1mA at 5V
• Wide supply range - 3.0 to 5.5 volt operation
• Built-in proportional hysteresis
This integrated circuit is designed to compare
two resistances and drive an output pin depending
on the relative value of each. Typically, one of the
resistors will be an NTC thermistor, and the other
one will be a temperature independent resistor
(whether fixed or variable). When the magnitude of
the resistance connected to pin 2 exceeds the value
of the resistance connected to pin 3, the output pin
will be driven to a high state. Hysteresis maintains
the output in that state until the relative values differ
by approximately 8% (or typically 2°C for a 10KW
thermistor).
• Measurement in progress output
• Time delay on operate improves noise immunity
• Internal pullup resistor on the reset input
• High current drive outputs - up to 25 mA

To reduce the possibility of sporadic outputs, a
condition must exist for three successive cycles, or 6
seconds, before the output pin can change state.
