FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LMT90 is
a
precision integrated-circuit
2
•
•
Cost-Effective Alternative to Thermistors
temperature sensor that can sense a −40°C to
+125°C temperature range using a single positive
supply. The LMT90's output voltage is linearly
proportional to Celsius (Centigrade) temperature (+10
mV/°C) and has a DC offset of +500 mV. The offset
allows reading negative temperatures without the
need for a negative supply. The ideal output voltage
of the LMT90 ranges from +100 mV to +1.75V for a
−40°C to +125°C temperature range. The LMT90
does not require any external calibration or trimming
to provide accuracies of ±3°C at room temperature
and ±4°C over the full −40°C to +125°C temperature
range. Trimming and calibration of the LMT90 at the
wafer level assure low cost and high accuracy. The
LMT90's linear output, +500 mV offset, and factory
calibration simplify circuitry required in a single supply
environment where reading negative temperatures is
required. The LMT90's quiescent current is less than
130 μA, thus self-heating is limited to a very low
0.2°C in still air.
