The LM56BIMX is a precision dual-output low power thermostat from Texas Instruments. This versatile component is designed for a wide range of temperature control applications. It features two digital outputs: one turns on when the temperature exceeds a preset limit (TO-220), and the other turns on when the temperature drops below a different preset limit (TO-226). These two limits are programmable by the user, providing flexibility and precision in temperature monitoring and control.
Key Features
- Dual Output: The LM56BIMX provides two temperature-dependent logic outputs, making it suitable for a variety of control and alarm functions.
- Programmable Temperature Limits: Users can set the temperature thresholds for both outputs, allowing for custom configuration tailored to specific system requirements.
- Low Voltage Operation: This device operates over a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 10V, accommodating battery-powered and low-voltage systems.
- Low Power Consumption: Designed for power-sensitive applications, the LM56BIMX maintains a low quiescent current, even when operating at full capacity.
