circuit temperature sensor that operates at a supply voltage
as low as 1.5 Volts. Available in the very small four-bump mi-
croSMD 0.8mm x 0.8mm) the LM94023 occupies very little
board area. A class-AB output structure gives the LM94023
strong output source and sink current capability for driving
heavy loads, making it well suited to source the input of a
sample-and-hold analog-to-digital converter with its transient
load requirements, This generally means the LM94023 can
be used without external components, like resistors and
buffers, on the output. While operating over the wide temper-
ature range of −50°C to +150°C, the LM94023 delivers an
output voltage that is inversely porportional to measured tem-
perature. The LM94023's low supply current makes it ideal for
battery-powered systems as well as general temperature
sensing applications.

A Gain Select (GS) pin sets the gain of the temperature-to-
voltage output transfer function. Either of two slopes are
selectable: −5.5 mV/°C (GS=0) or −8.2 mV/°C (GS=1). In the
lowest gain configuration, the LM94023 can operate with a
1.5V supply while measuring temperature over the full −50°C
to +150°C operating range. Tying GS high causes the transfer
function to have the largest gain for maximum temperature
sensitivity. The gain-select inputs can be tied directly to VDD
or Ground without any pull-up or pull-down resistors, reducing
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.
