General Description
The LM94022 is
a precision analog output CMOS
integrated-circuit temperature sensor that operates at a sup-
ply voltage as low as 1.5 Volts. A class-AB output structure
gives the LM94022 strong output source and sink current
capability for driving heavy loads. For example, it is well
suited to source the input of a sample-and-hold analog-to-
digital converter with its transient load requirements. While
operating over the wide temperature range of −50˚C to
+150˚C, the LM94022 delivers an output voltage that is
inversely porportional to measured temperature. The
LM94022’s low supply current makes it ideal for battery-
powered systems as well as general temperature sensing
applications.

temperature sensor
Two logic inputs, Gain Select 1 (GS1) and Gain Select 0
(GS0), select the gain of the temperature-to-voltage output
transfer function. Four slopes are selectable: −5.5 mV/˚C,
−8.2 mV/˚C, −10.9 mV/˚C, and −13.6 mV/˚C. In the lowest
gain configuration (GS1 and GS0 both tied low), the
LM94022 can operate with a 1.5V supply while measuring
temperature over the full −50˚C to +150˚C operating range.
Tying both inputs high causes the transfer function to have
the largest gain of −13.6 mV/˚C for maximum temperature
sensitivity. The gain-select inputs can be tied directly to VDD
or Ground without any pull-up or pull-down resistors, reduc-
ing component count and board area. These inputs can also
be driven by logic signals allowing the system to optimize the
gain during operation or system diagnostics.
