LM45
SOT-23 Precision Centigrade Temperature Sensors
General Description
The LM45 series are precision integrated-circuit temperature
sensors, whose output voltage is linearly proportional to the
Celsius (Centigrade) temperature. The LM45 does not re-
quire any external calibration or trimming to provide accura-
cies of ±2˚C at room temperature and ±3˚C over a full −20 to
+100˚C temperature range. Low cost is assured by trimming
and calibration at the wafer level. The LM45’s low output im-
pedance, linear output, and precise inherent calibration
make interfacing to readout or control circuitry especially
easy. It can be used with a single power supply, or with plus
and minus supplies. As it draws only 120 µA from its supply,
it has very low self-heating, less than 0.2˚C in still air. The
LM45 is rated to operate over a −20˚ to +100˚C temperature
range.

Choose R₁ = −V_S/50 µA
V_OUT= (10 mV/˚C x Temp ˚C)
V_OUT = +1,000 mV at +100˚C
= +250 mV at +25˚C
= −200 mV at −20˚C
