LM62
2.7V, 15.6 mV/˚C SOT-23 Temperature Sensor
General Description
The LM62 is a precision integrated-circuit temperature sen-
sor that can sense a 0˚C to +90˚C temperature range while
operating from a single +3.0V supply. The LM62’s output
voltage is linearly proportional to Celsius (Centigrade) tem-
perature (+15.6 mV/˚C) and has a DC offset of +480 mV.
The offset allows reading temperatures down to 0˚C without
the need for a negative supply. The nominal output voltage of
the LM62 ranges from +480 mV to +1884 mV for a 0˚C to
+90˚C temperature range. The LM62 is calibrated to provide
accuracies of
±
2.0˚C at room temperature and +2.5˚C/
−2.0˚C over the full 0˚C to +90˚C temperature range.
The LM62’s linear output, +480 mV offset, and factory cali-
bration simplify external circuitry required in a single supply
environment where reading temperatures down to 0˚C is
required. Because the LM62’s quiescent current is less than
130 µA, self-heating is limited to a very low 0.2˚C in still air.
Shutdown capability for the LM62 is intrinsic because its
inherent low power consumption allows it to be powered
directly from the output of many logic gates.
