The low output impedance of the TMP35/TMP36/TMP37 and
its linear output and precise calibration simplify interfacing to
temperature control circuitry and ADCs. All three devices are
intended for single-supply operation from 2.7 V to 5.5 V maximum. The supply current runs well below 50 µA, providing
very low self-heating—less than 0.1°C in still air. In addition, a
shutdown function is provided to cut the supply current to less
than 0.5 µA.
The TMP35 is functionally compatible with the LM35/LM45
and provides a 250 mV output at 25°C. The TMP35 reads
temperatures from 10°C to 125°C. The TMP36 is specified from
−40°C to +125°C, provides a 750 mV output at 25°C, and
operates to 125°C from a single 2.7 V supply. The TMP36 is
functionally compatible with the LM50. Both the TMP35 and
TMP36 have an output scale factor of 10 mV/°C.

The TMP35/TMP36/TMP37 are low voltage, precision centigrade temperature sensors. They provide a voltage output that
is linearly proportional to the Celsius (centigrade) temperature.
The TMP35/TMP36/TMP37 do not require any external
calibration to provide typical accuracies of ±1°C at +25°C
and ±2°C over the −40°C to +125°C temperature range.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
An equivalent circuit for the TMP35/TMP36/TMP37 micropower,
centigrade temperature sensors is shown in Figure 22. The core
of the temperature sensor is a band gap core that comprises
transistors Q1 and Q2, biased by Q3 to approximately 8 µA. The
band gap core operates both Q1 and Q2 at the same collector
current level; however, because the emitter area of Q1 is 10
times that of Q2, the VBE of Q1 and the VBE of Q2 are not equal
by the following relationship:

Q4

∆VBE = VT × ln

Resistors R1 and R2 are used to scale this result to produce
the output voltage transfer characteristic of each temperature
sensor and, simultaneously, R2 and R3 are used to scale the VBE of
Q1 as an offset term in VOUT. Table 4 summarizes the differences
in the output characteristics of the three temperature sensors.
The output voltage of the temperature sensor is available at the
emitter of Q4, which buffers the band gap core and provides
load current drive. The current gain of Q4, working with the
available base current drive from the previous stage, sets the
short-circuit current limit of these devices to 250 µA.

TMP35/TMP36/TMP37
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
SHUTDOWN OPERATION
THERMAL ENVIRONMENT EFFECTS
All TMP35/TMP36/TMP37 devices include a shutdown
capability, which reduces the power supply drain to less than
0.5 µA maximum. This feature, available only in the SOIC_N
and the SOT-23 packages, is TTL/CMOS level-compatible,
provided that the temperature sensor supply voltage is equal in
magnitude to the logic supply voltage. Internal to the TMP35/
TMP36/TMP37 at the SHUTDOWN pin, a pull-up current
source to +VS is connected. This allows the SHUTDOWN pin to
be driven from an open-collector/drain driver. A logic low, or
zero-volt condition, on the SHUTDOWN pin is required to
turn off the output stage. During shutdown, the output of the
temperature sensors becomes high impedance where the
potential of the output pin is then determined by external
circuitry. If the shutdown feature is not used, it is recommended
that the SHUTDOWN pin be connected to +VS (Pin 8 on the
SOIC_N; Pin 2 on the SOT-23).
The thermal environment in which the TMP35/TMP36/TMP37
sensors are used determines two important characteristics: selfheating effects and thermal response time. Figure 23 illustrates a
thermal model of the TMP35/TMP36/TMP37 temperature
sensors, which is useful in under-standing these characteristics.
The shutdown response time of these temperature sensors is
shown in Figure 14, Figure 15, and Figure 16.
MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
If the TMP35/TMP36/TMP37 temperature sensors are thermally
attached and protected, they can be used in any temperature
measurement application where the maximum temperature
range of the medium is between −40°C and +125°C. Properly
cemented or glued to the surface of the medium, these sensors
are within 0.01°C of the surface temperature. Caution should be
exercised, especially with T-3 packages, because the leads and
any wiring to the device can act as heat pipes, introducing
errors if the surrounding air-surface interface is not isothermal.
Avoiding this condition is easily achieved by dabbing the leads
of the temper-ature sensor and the hookup wires with a bead of
thermally conductive epoxy. This ensures that the TMP35/TMP36/
TMP37 die temperature is not affected by the surrounding air
temperature. Because plastic IC packaging technology is used,
excessive mechanical stress should be avoided when fastening the
device with a clamp or a screw-on heat tab. Thermally conductive
epoxy or glue, which must be electrically nonconductive, is
recommended under typical mounting conditions.
These temperature sensors, as well as any associated circuitry,
should be kept insulated and dry to avoid leakage and corrosion.
In wet or corrosive environments, any electrically isolated metal
or ceramic well can be used to shield the temperature sensors.
Condensation at very cold temperatures can cause errors and
should be avoided by sealing the device, using electrically nonconductive epoxy paints or dip or any one of the many printed
circuit board coatings and varnishes.

Figure 23. Thermal Circuit Model
In the T-3 package, the thermal resistance junction-to-case, θJC,
is 120°C/W. The thermal resistance case-to-ambient, CA, is the
difference between θJA and θJC, and is determined by the characteristics of the thermal connection. The power dissipation of
the temperature sensor, PD, is the product of the total voltage
across the device and its total supply current, including any
current delivered to the load. The rise in die temperature above
the ambient temperature of the medium is given by
TJ = PD × (θJC + θCA) + TA
Thus, the die temperature rise of a TMP35 SOT-23 package
mounted into a socket in still air at 25°C and driven from a 5 V
supply is less than 0.04°C.
The transient response of the TMP35/TMP36/TMP37 sensors
to a step change in the temperature is determined by the
thermal resistances and the thermal capacities of the die, CCH,
and the case, CC. The thermal capacity of CC varies with the
measurement medium because it includes anything in direct
contact with the package. In all practical cases, the thermal
capacity of CC is the limiting factor in the thermal response time
of the sensor and can be represented by a single-pole RC time
constant response. Figure 17 and Figure 19 show the thermal
response time of the TMP35/TMP36/TMP37 sensors under
various conditions. The thermal time constant of a temperature
sensor is defined as the time required for the sensor to reach
63.2% of the final value for a step change in the temperature.
For example, the thermal time constant of a TMP35 SOIC
package sensor mounted onto a 0.5" × 0.3" PCB is less than
50 sec in air, whereas in a stirred oil bath, the time constant is
less than 3 sec.

Figure 24 illustrates the basic circuit configuration for the
TMP35/TMP36/TMP37 temperature sensors. The table in
Figure 24 shows the pin assignments of the temperature sensors
for the three package types. For the SOT-23, Pin 3 is labeled NC,
as are Pin 2, Pin 3, Pin 6, and Pin 7 on the SOIC_N package. It
is recommended that no electrical connections be made to these
pins. If the shutdown feature is not needed on the SOT-23 or on
the SOIC_N package, the SHUTDOWN pin should be
connected to +VS.
Although the TMP35/TMP36/TMP37 temperature sensors are
centigrade temperature sensors, a few components can be used
to convert the output voltage and transfer characteristics to
directly read Fahrenheit temperatures. Figure 25 shows an
example of a simple Fahrenheit thermometer using either the
TMP35 or the TMP37. Using the TMP35, this circuit can be
used to sense temperatures from 41°F to 257°F with an output
transfer characteristic of 1 mV/°F; using the TMP37, this circuit
can be used to sense temperatures from 41°F to 212°F with an
output transfer characteristic of 2 mV/°F. This particular
approach does not lend itself to the TMP36 because of its
inherent 0.5 V output offset. The circuit is constructed with an
AD589, a 1.23 V voltage reference, and four resistors whose
values for each sensor are shown in the table in Figure 25. The
scaling of the output resistance levels ensures minimum output
loading on the temp-erature sensors. A generalized expression
for the transfer equation of the circuit is given by

Note the 0.1 µF bypass capacitor on the input. This capacitor
should be a ceramic type, have very short leads (surface-mount
is preferable), and be located as close as possible in physical
proximity to the temperature sensor supply pin. Because these
temperature sensors operate on very little supply current and
may be exposed to very hostile electrical environments, it is
important to minimize the effects of radio frequency interference
(RFI) on these devices. The effect of RFI on these temperature
sensors specifically and on analog ICs in general is manifested as
abnormal dc shifts in the output voltage due to the rectification
of the high frequency ambient noise by the IC. When the
devices are operated in the presence of high frequency radiated
or conducted noise, a large value tantalum capacitor (±2.2 µF)
placed across the 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor may offer additional
noise immunity.

TMP35/TMP36/TMP37
The same circuit principles can be applied to the TMP36, but
because of the inherent offset of the TMP36, the circuit uses only
two resistors, as shown in Figure 26. In this circuit, the output
voltage transfer characteristic is 1 mV/°F but is referenced to
the common ground of the circuit; however, there is a 58 mV
(58°F) offset in the output voltage. For example, the output
voltage of the circuit reads 18 mV if the TMP36 is placed in a
−40°F ambient environment and 315 mV at +257°F.
At the expense of additional circuitry, the offset produced by
the circuit in Figure 26 can be avoided by using the circuit in
Figure 27. In this circuit, the output of the TMP36 is conditioned
by a single-supply, micropower op amp, the OP193. Although
the entire circuit operates from a single 3 V supply, the output
voltage of the circuit reads the temperature directly, with a
transfer characteristic of 1 mV/°F, without offset. This is accomplished through an ADM660, which is a supply voltage inverter.
The 3 V supply is inverted and applied to the V− terminal of the
OP193. Thus, for a temperature range between −40°F and +257°F,
the output of the circuit reads −40 mV to +257 mV. A general
expression for the transfer equation of the circuit is given by

In Figure 28, an OP193 sums the outputs of three temperature
sensors to produce an output voltage scaled by 10 mV/°C that
represents the average temperature at three locations. The circuit
can be extended to include as many temperature sensors as
required as long as the transfer equation of the circuit is
maintained. In this application, it is recommended that one
temperature sensor type be used throughout the circuit;
otherwise, the output voltage of the circuit cannot produce an
accurate reading of the various ambient conditions.
The circuit in Figure 29 illustrates how a pair of TMP35/TMP36/
TMP37 sensors used with an OP193 configured as a difference
amplifier can read the difference in temperature between two
locations. In these applications, it is always possible that one
temperature sensor is reading a temperature below that of the
other sensor. To accommodate this condition, the output of the
OP193 is offset to a voltage at one-half the supply via R5 and
R6. Thus, the output voltage of the circuit is measured relative
to this point, as shown in Figure 29. Using the TMP36, the
output voltage of the circuit is scaled by 10 mV/°C. To minimize
the error in the difference between the two measured
temperatures, a common, readily available thin-film resistor
network is used for R1 to R4.

In many commercial and industrial environments, temperature
sensors often measure the average temperature in a building, or
the difference in temperature between two locations on a factory
floor or in an industrial process. The circuits in Figure 28 and
Figure 29 demonstrate an inexpensive approach to average and
differential temperature measurement.

MICROPROCESSOR INTERRUPT GENERATOR
Because temperature is a slowly moving quantity, the possibility
for comparator chatter exists. To avoid this condition, hysteresis
is used around the comparator. In this application, a hysteresis
of 5°C about the trip point was arbitrarily chosen; the ultimate
value for hysteresis should be determined by the end application.
The output logic voltage swing of the comparator with R1 and
R2 determines the amount of comparator hysteresis. Using a
3.3 V supply, the output logic voltage swing of the CMP402 is
2.6 V; therefore, for a hysteresis of 5°C (50 mV at 10 mV/°C),
R1 is set to 20 kΩ, and R2 is set to 1 MΩ. An expression for the
hysteresis of this circuit is given by
These inexpensive temperature sensors can be used with a
voltage reference and an analog comparator to configure an
interrupt generator for microprocessor applications. With the
popularity of fast microprocessors, the need to indicate a
microprocessor overtemperature condition has grown
tremendously. The circuit in Figure 30 demonstrates one way to
generate an interrupt using a TMP35, a CMP402 analog
comparator, and a REF191, a 2 V precision voltage reference.
The circuit is designed to produce a logic high interrupt signal
if the microprocessor temperature exceeds 80°C. This 80°C trip
point was arbitrarily chosen (final value set by the microprocessor
thermal reference design) and is set using an R3 to R4 voltage
divider of the REF191 output voltage. Because the output of the
TMP35 is scaled by 10 mV/°C, the voltage at the inverting
terminal of the CMP402 is set to 0.8 V.

Because this circuit is probably used in close proximity to high
speed digital circuits, R1 is split into equal values and a 1000 pF
capacitor is used to form a low-pass filter on the output of the
TMP35. Furthermore, to prevent high frequency noise from
contaminating the comparator trip point, a 0.1 µF capacitor is
used across R4.
