FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LM60/LM60-Q1 is a precision integrated-circuit
temperature sensor that can sense a −40°C to
+125°C temperature range while operating from a
single +2.7V supply. The LM60/LM60-Q1's output
voltage is linearly proportional to Celsius (Centigrade)
temperature (+6.25 mV/°C) and has a DC offset of
+424 mV. The offset allows reading negative
temperatures without the need for a negative supply.
The nominal output voltage of the LM60/LM60-Q1
ranges from +174 mV to +1205 mV for a −40°C to
+125°C temperature range. The LM60/LM60-Q1 is
calibrated to provide accuracies of ±2.0°C at room
temperature and ±3°C over the full −25°C to +125°C
temperature range.

The LM60/LM60-Q1's linear output, +424 mV offset,
and factory calibration simplify external circuitry
required in a single supply environment where
reading negative temperatures is required. Because
the LM60/LM60-Q1's quiescent current is less than
110 μA, self-heating is limited to a very low 0.1°C in
still air in the SOT-23 package. Shutdown capability
for the LM60/LM60-Q1 is intrinsic because its
inherent low power consumption allows it to be
powered directly from the output of many logic gates.
