Product details
Overview
LM26CIM5-PHA/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a factory-preset, ±3°C accurate digital-output thermostat in 5-pin SOT-23 package, with fixed 85°C overtemperature shutdown trip point, open-drain active-low OS output, and programmable 2°C/10°C hysteresis via HYST pin. It integrates temperature sensor, reference, DAC, and comparator for thermal protection in microprocessor systems and fan control.
For engineers reviewing the LM26CIM5-PHA/NOPB datasheet, LM26CIM5-PHA/NOPB pinout, LM26CIM5-PHA/NOPB application, or LM26CIM5-PHA/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include trip accuracy (±3°C), VTEMP analog output slope (−10.82 mV/°C), supply current (16 µA typical), hysteresis configurability, and SOT-23 thermal coupling capability.
Technical Context
The LM26CIM5-PHA/NOPB implements a monolithic temperature-sensing architecture with an internal NTC-based sensor feeding a precision comparator referenced to a factory-trimmed DAC. Its trip point is permanently set to 85°C during manufacturing and cannot be adjusted externally.
Hysteresis is controlled solely by the logic level on the HYST pin: GND selects 10°C, V+ selects 2°C. The VTEMP pin provides a calibrated analog voltage output governed by VO = (−3.479 × 10⁻⁶ × (T − 30)²) + (−1.082 × 10⁻² × (T − 30)) + 1.8015 V, enabling post-assembly verification and system-level temperature monitoring.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Trip Point (TOS) | Fixed at 85°C - triggers OS low when die temperature exceeds this threshold. |
| Trip Accuracy | ±3°C over −55°C to +110°C - ensures reliable thermal shutdown within defined margin. |
| Hysteresis Options | 2°C (HYST = V+) or 10°C (HYST = GND) - prevents output oscillation near trip point. |
| VTEMP Slope | −10.82 mV/°C - enables direct temperature calculation using external ADC. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - compatible with common low-voltage embedded rails including 3.3 V and 5 V. |
| Quiescent Current | 16 µA typical - minimizes power impact in battery-powered or always-on thermal monitoring. |
| Digital Output Type | Open-drain, active-low OS - requires external pull-up; interfaces directly with MCU interrupt or enable pins. |
Pinout & Package
LM26CIM5-PHA/NOPB is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm, with thermal pad connected internally to GND (pin 2) for enhanced heat transfer from die 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 allows simple resistor biasing. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground | Connected to die backside; primary thermal path to PCB; must be low-impedance to system ground. |
| 3 - VTEMP | Analog output | Temperature-proportional voltage (−10.82 mV/°C); weak drive (1 µA source / 40 µA sink); requires high-Z load or series R for capacitive stability. |
| 4 - V+ | Power supply | 2.7–5.5 V input; requires 0.1 µF bypass capacitor close to pin for noise immunity and stable operation. |
| 5 - OS | Digital output | Open-drain, active-low overtemperature shutdown signal; requires ≥10 kΩ pull-up; sinks up to 3.2 mA. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-preset 85°C trip point | Eliminates external calibration or trimming components; guarantees consistent thermal response across production units. |
| VTEMP analog output | Enables after-assembly functional test by forcing VTEMP to verify OS transition, confirming full signal chain integrity without thermal chamber. |
| Programmable hysteresis | Two discrete hysteresis values (2°C or 10°C) selected via single logic-level pin - adapts to system noise and thermal ramp rate without redesign. |
| No external components required | Self-contained sensing and decision circuitry - reduces BOM count, layout area, and qualification effort versus discrete thermistor + comparator solutions. |
| UL recognition | Meets UL 1459/60950-1 requirements - supports safety-critical thermal protection in certified end equipment without additional isolation or redundancy. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar thermostat applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM26CIM5-TPA | Identical pinout, package, and electrical specs; same 85°C trip point and open-drain OS output; differs only in top-mark (TTPA vs. TPHA) and RoHS suffix (/NOPB vs. no suffix). | No functional difference; both support identical hysteresis configuration and VTEMP usage. | Select LM26CIM5-TPA if legacy sourcing or non-RoHS compliance is required; otherwise LM26CIM5-PHA/NOPB preferred for lead-free assembly. |
| MAX6505UTP+T | 85°C trip, open-drain output, but uses internal bandgap reference instead of DAC-based trimming; ±4°C accuracy over −55°C to +125°C; 2.7–5.5 V supply. | Lacks VTEMP analog output - eliminates post-assembly verification capability and system-level temperature telemetry. | Choose MAX6505UTP+T only when lowest cost is critical and VTEMP functionality is unnecessary; LM26CIM5-PHA/NOPB offers superior diagnostic capability and tighter trip accuracy. |
Compared with LM26CIM5-TPA, LM26CIM5-PHA/NOPB provides identical thermal switching performance with RoHS-compliant packaging, while MAX6505UTP+T trades VTEMP diagnostics and ±3°C accuracy for lower unit cost and simplified internal architecture.

FAQ
What is the exact trip temperature of LM26CIM5-PHA/NOPB?
The LM26CIM5-PHA/NOPB has a factory-preset overtemperature shutdown trip point of exactly 85°C. This value is laser-trimmed during manufacturing and remains fixed across all operating conditions; it is not adjustable via external components or programming. The trip accuracy is specified as ±3°C over −55°C to +110°C ambient, ensuring reliable activation before critical thermal limits are breached in the host system.
How does the HYST pin configure hysteresis on LM26CIM5-PHA/NOPB?
On the LM26CIM5-PHA/NOPB, the HYST pin selects between two hysteresis values: connecting HYST to GND sets 10°C hysteresis, while connecting it to V+ sets 2°C hysteresis. This digital input has VIH = 0.8 × V+ and VIL = 0.2 × V+, with leakage current under 10 µA. No external pull-up/down resistors are needed - direct connection to rail or ground suffices. The selected hysteresis determines the temperature delta between OS activation and deactivation.
Can LM26CIM5-PHA/NOPB be used for undertemperature detection?
No, the LM26CIM5-PHA/NOPB is configured exclusively for overtemperature shutdown (OS) with active-low open-drain output. It does not support undertemperature (US) functionality. The part number suffix "PHA" and device comparison table confirm it is preprogrammed as OS output only. For undertemperature applications, alternate variants such as LM26CIM5-HHD (0°C US) or LM26CIM5-BPB (−45°C US) must be selected.
What is the purpose and limitation of the VTEMP pin on LM26CIM5-PHA/NOPB?
The VTEMP pin on LM26CIM5-PHA/NOPB provides an analog voltage proportional to die temperature, following VO = (−3.479 × 10⁻⁶ × (T − 30)²) + (−1.082 × 10⁻² × (T − 30)) + 1.8015 V, with −10.82 mV/°C slope. It enables after-assembly testing and system-level temperature monitoring. However, its drive strength is limited (1 µA source / 40 µA sink), so it must interface with high-impedance inputs or use series resistance to prevent oscillation under capacitive loading.
Is LM26CIM5-PHA/NOPB compatible with standard SOT-23 footprints and reflow profiles?
Yes, LM26CIM5-PHA/NOPB uses the industry-standard 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package with 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size and 0.95 mm height. It is qualified for standard Pb-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020, with peak temperature up to 260°C. The GND pin (pin 2) connects internally to the die backside, making thermal pad design optional but recommended for improved heat dissipation in high-ambient applications.
