LM19
2.4V, 10μA, TO-92 Temperature Sensor
General Description
The
LM19
is
a
precision
analog
integrated-circuit temperature sensor that operates over a
55C to +130C temperature range. The power supply op-
erating 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 speci-
fied to a parabolic transfer function is
±
2.5C at an ambient
temperature of +30C. The temperature error increases lin-
early and reaches a maximum of
±
3.8C 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 +130C and
55C. Decreasing the power supply voltage to 2.4 V
changes the negative extreme to 30C, while the positive
remains at +130C.
The LM19’s quiescent current is less than 10 μA. Therefore,
self-heating is less than 0.02C 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.
