LM19
2.4V, 10µA, TO-92 Temperature Sensor
General Description
The LM19 is a precision analog output CMOS integrated-
circuit temperature sensor that operates over a −55˚C to
+130˚C temperature range. The power supply operating
range is +2.4 V to +5.5 V. The transfer function of LM19 is
predominately linear, yet has a slight predictable parabolic
curvature. The accuracy of the LM19 when specified to a
parabolic transfer function is
±
2.5˚C at an ambient tempera-
ture of +30˚C. The temperature error increases linearly and
reaches a maximum of
±
3.8˚C at the temperature range
extremes. The temperature range is affected by the power
supply voltage. At a power supply voltage of 2.7 V to 5.5 V
the temperature range extremes are +130˚C and −55˚C.
Decreasing the power supply voltage to 2.4 V changes the
negative extreme to −30˚C, while the positive remains at
+130˚C.
The LM19’s quiescent current is less than 10 µA. Therefore,
self-heating is less than 0.02˚C in still air. Shutdown capa-
bility for the LM19 is intrinsic because its inherent low power
consumption allows it to be powered directly from the output
of many logic gates or does not necessitate shutdown at all.
