Product Overview: LM75BIM-5 Temperature Sensor
The LM75BIM-5 is a precision integrated-circuit temperature sensor that offers an excellent combination of accuracy, simplicity, and digital output from Texas Instruments. This temperature sensor provides a standard 2-wire serial interface that is compatible with I2C bus specifications, making it easy to integrate into a wide range of applications.
Key Features
- Temperature Range: The LM75BIM-5 operates over a temperature range from -55°C to +125°C, catering to a broad spectrum of environmental conditions.
- Accuracy: With an accuracy of ±2°C from -25°C to +100°C, and ±3°C over-55°C to +125°C, it ensures reliable temperature readings for critical applications.
- Digital Output: The sensor's digital output is factory-calibrated in Celsius, eliminating the need for external calibration by the user.
- Programmable Resolution: It features programmable resolution from 9 bits to 12 bits, allowing users to optimize the trade-off between resolution and measurement time.
- Low Power Consumption: Designed for power-sensitive applications, the LM75BIM-5 has a low operating supply current of 3.5 mA (typical) and a standby current of only 1.5 µA.
- Shutdown Mode: A shutdown mode is available to power down the device, further reducing power consumption when not in use.
- Alarm Function: It includes an overtemperature alarm/interrupt function (OS) that can be set by the user, which remains functional even when the device is in shutdown mode.
