LM35DZ PrecisionTemperature Sensor IC

Linear Centigrade Scale Calibration: Outputs an analog voltage directly proportional to the Celsius temperature scale (10 mV°C scale factor), eliminating the need for complex software conversion calculations.

Factory Calibrated Accuracy: Pre-calibrated at the wafer level to deliver a high precision of -+ 0.5°C at +25°C and -+ 0.75°C across its full operational range.

Low Self-Heating Profile: Draws less than 60uA of quiescent current, preventing internal thermal generation from affecting surrounding ambient measurements.

Broad Operating Supply Voltage: Functions seamlessly across 4.0 V to 30V DC power rails, offering wide compatibility with standard 5V, 12V, or higher-voltage power systems.

Low Output Impedance: Features an output impedance of just 0.1Ω for 1 mA loads, making it easy to connect directly to microcontroller analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) or comparator circuits.

Housing Material: Standard molded plastic TO-92 through-hole package with three solid tin-plated copper leads.

Technical Specifications:

Sensor Type: Precision Centigrade Analog Temperature Sensor IC.

Operating Voltage: 4.0V – 30V DC.

Temperature Measurement Range: 0°C – +100°C (expandable to -55°C to +150°C with external pull-down resistor).

Scale Factor: 10 mV°C (0 mV output at 0^C).

Package Type: TO-92 (3-Pin Through-Hole).

Enclosure Color: Black Molded Epoxy with Silver Pins.

Usage Advice: Connect Pin 1 to VCC (4V- 30V), Pin 2 to the microcontroller ADC input, and Pin 3 to Ground; add a decoupling capacitor on the VCC pin to filter supply noise.

Maintenance: Keep the physical leads clean and free from corrosion; avoid exposing the bare through-hole casing to direct water immersion without proper encapsulation.

Essential Linear Analog Sensing IC: Position as a benchmark, highly accurate analog temperature IC for electronics hobbyists, laboratory setups, analog control loops, and STEM learning kits.

Highlight Linear 10 mV°C Scaling: Emphasize how direct Celsius voltage output simplifies code requirements and provides plug-and-play simplicity for analog electronics.

Recommended Cross-Sell Add-ons: Pair with LM35D Analog Temperature Sensor Module, TMP36 Temperature Sensor, DS18B20 Digital Temperature Sensor, and ESD antistatic mat 50x40CM PCB Welding Mat.
