The LM60CIM3X from Texas Instruments is a precision integrated-circuit temperature sensor that offers a linearly proportional output voltage to the Celsius (Centigrade) temperature. It operates as a 2.7V to 5.5V input voltage range and has a low self-heating rate of less than 0.08°C in still air.
- Key Features:
- Does not require external calibration or trimming for typical accuracies of ±2°C at room temperature and ±3°C over a full -40 to +125°C temperature range
- Low output impedance and linear output for easy interfacing with readout circuitry
- Compact 3-lead SOT-23 package
- Applications:
- Temperature sensing for computers and disk drives
- Battery management
- Appliances and thermostats
- Automotive climate control
- Environmental control systems
- Handheld applications due to low power consumption
