Product details
Overview
LM26CIM5-BPB/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a factory-preset, ±3°C accurate undertemperature shutdown thermostat in SOT-23-5 package, with −45°C trip point, active-low open-drain US output, 2.7–5.5 V supply range, and analog VTEMP output for post-assembly verification. It operates across −55°C to +125°C ambient and delivers 16 µA typical supply current.
For engineers reviewing the LM26CIM5-BPB/NOPB datasheet, LM26CIM5-BPB/NOPB pinout, LM26CIM5-BPB/NOPB application, or LM26CIM5-BPB/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include trip point accuracy (±3°C), programmable hysteresis (2°C/10°C via HYST pin), VTEMP slope (−10.82 mV/°C), open-drain US functionality, and SOT-23 thermal coupling to PCB leads.
Technical Context
The LM26CIM5-BPB/NOPB implements an integrated temperature sensor, internal voltage reference, DAC, and comparator architecture - all factory-programmed for −45°C undertemperature shutdown. Its digital output is fixed as active-low open-drain US, meaning it asserts LOW when die temperature falls below −45°C and returns HIGH after crossing (−45°C + THYST).
Hysteresis is externally selectable: HYST = GND yields 10°C hysteresis; HYST = V+ yields 2°C hysteresis. The VTEMP pin provides a calibrated analog voltage per the quadratic equation VO = (−3.479×10⁻⁶×(T−30)²) + (−1.082×10⁻²×(T−30)) + 1.8015 V, enabling system-level temperature readback and post-assembly functional test.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Trip Point | −45°C; factory-programmed undertemperature shutdown threshold, verified over −55°C to +110°C operating range |
| Accuracy | ±3°C (−55°C ≤ TA ≤ +110°C); includes sensor, reference, DAC, and comparator offset errors |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain US; requires external pullup ≥10 kΩ; sinks up to 3.2 mA at 0.4 V |
| Supply Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V; supports battery-powered and low-voltage industrial systems without regulation |
| Supply Current | 16 µA typical, 40 µA max; enables multi-year operation in always-on thermal monitoring nodes |
| VTEMP Slope | −10.82 mV/°C; enables direct ADC-based temperature measurement with <±3°C error across full range |
| Hysteresis Options | 2°C (HYST = V+) or 10°C (HYST = GND); prevents output chatter near trip point in noisy thermal environments |
Pinout & Package
LM26CIM5-BPB/NOPB is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm, with exposed thermal pad connected internally to GND (pin 2) for enhanced thermal coupling to PCB ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - HYST | Digital input | Selects hysteresis: GND = 10°C, V+ = 2°C; input leakage <10 µA; VIH = 0.8×V+, VIL = 0.2×V+ |
| 2 - GND | Power ground | Connected to backside of die via lead frame; primary thermal path to PCB; must tie to system ground |
| 3 - VTEMP | Analog output | Quadratic voltage vs. temperature; weak drive (1 µA source / 40 µA sink); requires series R for >100 pF load |
| 4 - V+ | Power supply | 2.7–5.5 V input; requires 0.1 µF bypass capacitor; rejects 400 kHz square-wave noise up to 1 Vp-p |
| 5 - US | Digital output | Active-low open-drain undertemperature shutdown; LOW when T < −45°C; HIGH when T > (−45°C + THYST) |

Use Scenario: Protecting lithium-thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl₂) batteries in remote metering devices operating down to −55°C ambient. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active-low US output disables load circuitry when cell temperature falls below −45°C to prevent irreversible capacity loss. Use Value: Extends battery life by enforcing safe discharge cutoff at precisely −45°C, using factory-trimmed accuracy without calibration overhead. |
| Medical Cold Chain Monitoring | Outdoor Telecom Equipment |
|
Use Scenario: Verifying transport temperature integrity for vaccines requiring storage between −50°C and −15°C. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: VTEMP output sampled by host MCU ADC confirms real-time temperature; US output triggers alarm if T < −45°C. Use Value: Dual-mode verification (analog readback + digital alert) ensures compliance with WHO cold chain standards using single-component solution. |
Use Scenario: Preventing base station RF amplifier failure in arctic climates where ambient drops below −40°C. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: US output disables power to sensitive GaN amplifiers until enclosure warms above −45°C, avoiding condensation-induced failure. Use Value: Eliminates need for external thermistor + comparator; ±3°C accuracy ensures reliable startup while avoiding premature enablement. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar undertemperature shutdown applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM26CIM5-DPB/NOPB | −25°C trip point; identical package, pinout, and open-drain US output | Suitable for higher-threshold freeze protection (e.g., HVAC refrigerant lines) | Select when system requires shutdown at −25°C instead of −45°C; no layout change needed |
| MAX6505UTA+T | −45°C trip, push-pull output, 1.7–5.5 V supply, ±2°C accuracy, SOT-23-5 | Eliminates external pullup resistor but lacks VTEMP output for temperature readback | Choose when board space is constrained and analog monitoring is unnecessary; not drop-in due to push-pull vs. open-drain behavior |
Compared with LM26CIM5-BPB/NOPB, LM26CIM5-DPB/NOPB shifts trip point upward by 20°C while preserving all interface and diagnostic capabilities; MAX6505UTA+T trades VTEMP functionality for lower supply voltage and tighter accuracy but requires redesign of output interface due to push-pull drive.

FAQ
What is the exact trip point and hysteresis behavior of LM26CIM5-BPB/NOPB?
The LM26CIM5-BPB/NOPB is factory-programmed for a −45°C undertemperature shutdown trip point. Its US output goes LOW when die temperature falls below −45°C and returns HIGH only after temperature rises above (−45°C + THYST). THYST is user-selectable: 2°C when HYST = V+, or 10°C when HYST = GND. This behavior is confirmed in the Device Comparison Table and Electrical Characteristics section of the SNIS115S datasheet.
Does LM26CIM5-BPB/NOPB support overtemperature or only undertemperature detection?
LM26CIM5-BPB/NOPB supports undertemperature detection only, with active-low open-drain US output. It does not provide OS (overtemperature shutdown) functionality. The Device Comparison Table explicitly lists LM26CIM5-BPB/NOPB under "US output" variants, and its top mark "TBPB" corresponds to −45°C undertemperature configuration. Other LM26 variants (e.g., LM26CIM5-NPA) offer OS functionality, but LM26CIM5-BPB/NOPB is fixed to US mode.
Can the VTEMP pin of LM26CIM5-BPB/NOPB be used for precise temperature measurement?
Yes, the VTEMP pin of LM26CIM5-BPB/NOPB provides a calibrated analog voltage described by VO = (−3.479×10⁻⁶×(T−30)²) + (−1.082×10⁻²×(T−30)) + 1.8015 V, with ±3°C total error across −30°C to +120°C. Its −10.82 mV/°C slope enables direct ADC conversion. However, VTEMP has weak drive capability (1 µA source / 40 µA sink), so external buffering or series resistance is required for capacitive loads >100 pF to prevent oscillation.
What is the recommended pullup resistor value for the US output of LM26CIM5-BPB/NOPB?
The US output of LM26CIM5-BPB/NOPB is open-drain and requires an external pullup resistor. Texas Instruments specifies ≥10 kΩ in the Pin Functions table. A 10 kΩ resistor is recommended for 3.3 V or 5 V logic interfaces, ensuring VOL ≤ 0.4 V at IOL = 3.2 mA. Higher values (e.g., 100 kΩ) reduce power consumption but increase susceptibility to noise; lower values increase drive strength but raise quiescent current. Layout should minimize trace capacitance to maintain fast edge rates.
Is LM26CIM5-BPB/NOPB RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, LM26CIM5-BPB/NOPB is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free. The "/NOPB" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes lead-free (Pb-free) packaging per TI's standard nomenclature. Package information in the Mechanical, Packaging, and Orderable Information section confirms SOT-23 (DBV) as a green, RoHS-compliant package. Material content data is available in TI's official PPAP documentation and environmental compliance reports.
