LM27
SOT-23, ±3C Accurate, 120C-150C Factory Preset
Thermostat
General Description
The LM27 is a precision, single digital-output, low-power
thermostat comprised of an internal reference, DAC, tem-
perature sensor and comparator. Utilizing factory program-
ming, it can be manufactured with different trip points as well
as different digital output functionality. The trip point (T
OS)
can be preset at the factory to any temperature in the range
of +120C to +150C in 1C increments. The LM27 has one
digital output (OS/OS/US/US), one digital input (HYST) and
one analog output (V
TEMP). The digital output stage can be
preset as either open-drain or push-pull. In addition, it can be
factory programmed to be active HIGH or LOW. The digital
output can be factory programmed to indicate an over tem-
perature shutdown event (OS or OS) or an under tempera-
ture shutdown event (US or US). When preset as an over-
temperature shutdown (OS) it will go LOW to indicate that
the die temperature is over the internally preset T
OS and go
HIGH when the temperature goes below (T
OS–THYST). Simi-
larly, when preprogrammed as an undertemperature shut-
down (US) it will go HIGH to indicate that the temperature is
below T
US and go LOW when the temperature is above
(T
US+THYST). The typical hysteresis, THYST, can be set to
2C or 10C and is controlled by the state of the HYST pin. A
V
TEMP analog output provides a voltage that is proportional
to temperature and has a 10.7mV/C output slope.
Currently, there are several standard parts available, see
ordering information for details. For other part options, con-
tact a National Semiconductor Distributor or Sales Repre-
sentative for information on minimum order qualification. The
LM27 is currently available in a 5-lead SOT-23 package.
