Product details
Overview
AD592CNZ from Analog Devices is a two-terminal monolithic IC temperature transducer providing 1 µA/K current output proportional to absolute temperature (Kelvin), with ±0.5°C max calibration error at +25°C, ±1.0°C max total error over –25°C to +105°C, and single-supply operation from +4 V to +30 V - used in HVAC monitoring, automotive cabin sensing, and industrial temperature diagnostics.
For engineers reviewing the AD592CNZ datasheet, AD592CNZ pinout, AD592CNZ application, or AD592CNZ equivalent, key selection criteria include its current-output architecture for noise-immune remote sensing, TO-92 package compatibility with through-hole PCB layouts, guaranteed linearity of ≤0.15°C (0°C to +70°C), and absence of cold-junction compensation circuitry required by thermocouples.
Technical Context
The AD592CNZ implements a PTAT (Proportional-To-Absolute-Temperature) current source using matched silicon transistor pairs and laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve 1 µA/K scaling. Its two-terminal configuration eliminates separate ground or reference pins, simplifying wiring in distributed sensor networks.
It operates as a high-impedance current source across 4–30 V supply range, rejecting supply ripple up to 0.1°C/V above +15 V, and exhibits minimal self-heating (<0.2°C in still air at +25°C with 5 V supply) due to low power dissipation and thermal design optimized for TO-92 packaging.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AD592CNZ is housed in a 3-pin plastic TO-92 package (JEDEC TO-226-AA, package option T-3-1), with leads spaced 0.100" (2.54 mm) apart, suitable for through-hole mounting and manual soldering. Pin 2 is NC (no connect) and may be left unattached per datasheet guidance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PIN 1 (+) | Positive Supply Terminal | Connects to +4 V to +30 V supply; carries full output current |
| PIN 2 (NC) | No-Connect Terminal | Internally unconnected; may be left floating or clipped - no electrical function |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar temperature transducer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM35DH/NOPB | Voltage-output (10 mV/°C); requires buffered op-amp stage for long-line transmission | Suitable for short-run PCB-local sensing; not recommended for >1 m cable runs due to noise susceptibility | Select LM35DH/NOPB only when board space constraints preclude load-resistor placement or when existing design uses voltage-input ADCs without current-sense capability |
| TSIC506-100 | Digital I²C output; integrated 12-bit ADC and EEPROM calibration data; fixed 0°C to +100°C range | Requires microcontroller with I²C interface; limited to lower-temperature industrial use cases | Choose TSIC506-100 when digital output, factory calibration traceability, or multi-sensor bus topology is prioritized over analog simplicity and extended range |
Compared with LM35DH/NOPB and TSIC506-100, the AD592CNZ delivers superior noise immunity over distance, wider operating range (–25°C to +105°C), and zero external component requirements for basic voltage conversion - making it optimal for rugged, analog-centric, or cost-sensitive remote sensing deployments.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of the AD592CNZ?
The AD592CNZ uses a 3-pin TO-92 package with PIN 1 (+) as the positive supply terminal, PIN 2 (NC) as a no-connect terminal that may be left unattached, and PIN 3 (–) as the negative return terminal. This two-terminal current-source architecture means PIN 2 has no internal connection and serves no functional role in circuit operation.
Does the AD592CNZ require external calibration for typical applications?
The AD592CNZ is precalibrated to ±0.5°C at +25°C and does not require external calibration for most industrial and automotive applications. However, if system-level accuracy better than ±0.5°C is needed, a single-point trim at +25°C using a precision reference resistor can null initial calibration error - a procedure explicitly supported in the AD592CNZ datasheet.
Can the AD592CNZ be used in a 4–20 mA current loop system?
The AD592CNZ itself outputs 1 µA/K and is not compliant with 4–20 mA industrial current loop standards. However, it can serve as the front-end sensor in a 4–20 mA transmitter circuit - for example, using an op-amp stage to scale and offset its output - as demonstrated in Figure 12 of the AD592CNZ datasheet.
What is the maximum allowable supply voltage for the AD592CNZ?
The AD592CNZ supports a supply voltage range of +4 V to +30 V DC. Its absolute maximum forward voltage rating is +44 V, but operation above +30 V is not characterized or guaranteed. For stable performance and specified accuracy, the supply must remain within the +4 V to +30 V range per the AD592CNZ datasheet.
How does the AD592CNZ handle self-heating in enclosed environments?
The AD592CNZ exhibits ≤0.2°C self-heating error in still air at +25°C with a +5 V supply. In enclosed or high-temperature environments, self-heating increases proportionally to power dissipation and thermal resistance (θJA). Mounting with thermally conductive epoxy or adding a clip-on heatsink reduces θJA and limits error - values are quantified in Table I of the AD592CNZ datasheet.
