SNIS118G – JULY 1999 – REVISED JANUARY 2017
LM50 and LM50-Q1 SOT-23 Single-Supply Centigrade Temperature Sensor
1 Features
3 Description
•
The LM50 and LM50-Q1 devices are precision
integrated-circuit temperature sensors that can sense
a –40°C to 125°C temperature range using a single
positive supply. The output voltage of the device is
linearly proportional to 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.

Simplified Schematic
The ideal output voltage of the LM50 or LM50-Q1
ranges from 100 mV to 1.75 V for a –40°C to 125°C
temperature range. The LM50 and LM50-Q1 do 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 LM50 and LM50-Q1
at the wafer level assure low cost and high accuracy.
The linear output, 500 mV offset, and factory
calibration of the LM50 and LM50-Q1 simplify the
circuitry requirements in a single supply environment
where reading negative temperatures is necessary.
Because the quiescent current of the LM50 and
LM50-Q1 is less than 130 µA, self-heating is limited
to a very low 0.2°C in still air.

Limits are specified to TI's AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).
Accuracy is defined as the error between the output voltage and 10 mv/°C multiplied by the device's case temperature plus 500 mV, at
specified conditions of voltage, current, and temperature (expressed in °C).
Nonlinearity is defined as the deviation of the output-voltage-versus-temperature curve from the best-fit straight line, over the device's
rated temperature range.
Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature, using pulse testing with a low duty cycle. Changes in output due to heating
effects can be computed by multiplying the internal dissipation by the thermal resistance.
Quiescent current is defined in the circuit of Figure 12.
For best long-term stability, any precision circuit will give best results if the unit is aged at a warm temperature, and/or temperature
cycled for at least 46 hours before long-term life test begins. This is especially true when a small (Surface-Mount) part is wave-soldered;
allow time for stress relaxation to occur. The majority of the drift occurs in the first 1000 hours at elevated temperatures. The drift after
1000 hours does not continue at the first 1000 hour rate.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LM50 and LM50-Q1 devices are precision integrated-circuit temperature sensors that can sense a –40°C to
125°C temperature range using a single positive supply. The output voltage of the LM50 and LM50-Q1 has a
positive temperature slope of 10 mV/°C. A 500-mV offset is included enabling negative temperature sensing
when biased by a single supply.
The temperature-sensing element is comprised of a delta-VBE architecture. The temperature-sensing element is
then buffered by an amplifier and provided to the VOUT pin. The amplifier has a simple class A output stage with
typical 2-kΩ output impedance as shown in the Functional Block Diagram.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 LM50 and LM50-Q1 Transfer Function
The LM50 and LM50-Q1 follow a simple linear transfer function to achieve the accuracy as listed in the Electrical
Characteristics: LM50B table and the Electrical Characteristics: LM50C and LM50-Q1 table.
Use Equation 1 to calculate the value of VO.

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The LM50 and LM50-Q1 have a wide supply range and a 10 mV/°C output slope with a 500-mV DC offset.
Therefore, it can be easily applied in many temperature-sensing applications where a single supply is required
for positive and negative temperatures.

8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The LM50 and LM50-Q1 are simple temperature sensors that provides an analog output. Therefore design
requirements related to layout are more important than other requirements. See Layout for more information.
8.2.1.2.1 Capacitive Loads
The LM50 and LM50-Q1 handle capacitive loading very well. Without any special precautions, the LM50 and
LM50-Q1 can drive any capacitive load. The device has a nominal 2-kΩ output impedance (shown in Functional
Block Diagram). The temperature coefficient of the output resistors is around 1300 ppm/°C. Taking into account
this temperature coefficient and the initial tolerance of the resistors the output impedance of the device will not
exceed 4 kΩ. In an extremely noisy environment it may be necessary to add some filtering to minimize noise
pickup. TI recommends adding a 0.1-µF capacitor between +VS and GND to bypass the power supply voltage,

as shown in Figure 14. It may also be necessary to add a capacitor from VOUT to ground. A 1-µF output
capacitor with the 4-kΩ output impedance will form a 40-Hz low-pass filter. Since the thermal time constant of the
LM50 and LM50-Q1 is much slower than the 25-ms time constant formed by the RC, the overall response time of
the device will not be significantly affected. For much larger capacitors this additional time lag will increase the
overall response time of the LM50 and LM50-Q1.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
In an extremely noisy environment, it may be necessary to add some filtering to minimize noise pickup. TI
recommends that a 0.1-µF capacitor be added from +VS to GND to bypass the power supply voltage, as shown
in Figure 14.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
The LM50 and LM50-Q1 can be applied easily in the same way as other integrated-circuit temperature sensors.
The device can be glued or cemented to a surface and its temperature will be within about 0.2°C of the surface
temperature.
This presumes that the ambient air temperature is almost the same as the surface temperature; if the air
temperature were much higher or lower than the surface temperature, the actual temperature of the LM50 or
LM50-Q1 die would be at an intermediate temperature between the surface temperature and the air temperature.
To ensure good thermal conductivity the backside of the LM50 and LM50-Q1 die is directly attached to the GND
pin. The lands and traces to the device will, of course, be part of the printed-circuit board, which is the object
whose temperature is being measured. These printed-circuit board lands and traces will not cause the LM50 or
LM50-Q1's temperature to deviate from the desired temperature.
Alternatively, the LM50 and LM50-Q1 can be mounted inside a sealed-end metal tube, and can then be dipped
into a bath or screwed into a threaded hole in a tank. As with any IC, the LM50 and LM50-Q1 and accompanying
wiring and circuits must be kept insulated and dry, to avoid leakage and corrosion. This is especially true if the
circuit may operate at cold temperatures where condensation can occur. Printed-circuit coatings and varnishes
such as Humiseal and epoxy paints or dips are often used to ensure that moisture cannot corrode the device or
its connections.

11.5 Electrostatic Discharge Caution
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

The marketing status values are defined as follows:
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.

RoHS: TI defines "RoHS" to mean semiconductor products that are compliant with the current EU RoHS requirements for all 10 RoHS substances, including the requirement that RoHS substance
do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, "RoHS" products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes. TI may
reference these types of products as "Pb-Free".
RoHS Exempt: TI defines "RoHS Exempt" to mean products that contain lead but are compliant with EU RoHS pursuant to a specific EU RoHS exemption.
Green: TI defines "Green" to mean the content of Chlorine (Cl) and Bromine (Br) based flame retardants meet JS709B low halogen requirements of
