Product details
Overview
LM27CIM5-2HJ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a factory-preset, ±3°C accurate digital thermostat IC with 140°C overtemperature shutdown trip point, open-drain active-low OS output, and analog VTEMP output (−10.82 mV/°C). It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, draws only 15 µA typical supply current, and is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 package for microprocessor thermal protection and fan control applications.
For engineers reviewing the LM27CIM5-2HJ/NOPB datasheet, LM27CIM5-2HJ/NOPB pinout, LM27CIM5-2HJ/NOPB application, or LM27CIM5-2HJ/NOPB equivalent, this page delivers verified trip-point accuracy, hysteresis configuration options (2°C/10°C), VTEMP calibration equation, thermal mounting guidance, and real-world fan control interface examples - all grounded in TI's SNIS124D revision C datasheet.
Technical Context
The LM27CIM5-2HJ/NOPB integrates a precision bandgap reference, DAC-based trip-point programming, and a monolithic temperature sensor with quadratic VTEMP output (VO = −3.552×10⁻⁶(T−30)² −10.69576×10⁻³(T−30) + 1.8386 V). Its comparator compares VTEMP against a factory-set threshold to drive the OS output.
Hysteresis is digitally selected via HYST pin: GND yields 10°C, V+ yields 2°C (typical). The open-drain OS output supports CMOS logic levels with ≤0.4 V low-state voltage at 1.2 mA sink, and requires an external ≥10 kΩ pull-up resistor for system interrupt signaling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Trip Point Temperature | 140°C factory preset; triggers OS LOW when die temperature exceeds 140°C, returns HIGH after cooling to 138°C (2°C hysteresis) or 130°C (10°C hysteresis). |
| Temperature Accuracy | ±3°C maximum error across −40°C to +150°C ambient; includes VREF, DAC, comparator offset, and sensor sensitivity errors. |
| VTEMP Output Slope | −10.82 mV/°C; enables post-assembly board-level temperature verification using measured voltage and TI's quadratic calibration equation. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V; supports direct connection to common logic rails; requires 0.1 µF bypass capacitor on V+ for noise immunity. |
| Quiescent Current | 15 µA typical / 40 µA maximum; enables always-on thermal monitoring in battery-powered systems without significant power penalty. |
| Hysteresis Selection | Digital input on HYST pin: connect to GND for 10°C hysteresis or to V+ for 2°C hysteresis - no external components needed. |
| Digital Output Type | Open-drain, active-low OS; compatible with 3.3V/5V CMOS logic; requires external pull-up for interrupt signaling to MCU or power controller. |
Pinout & Package
LM27CIM5-2HJ/NOPB uses the industry-standard 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package with 1.45 mm max height, JEDEC MO-178 compliant footprint, and exposed metal pad for thermal conduction to PCB ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - HYST | Hysteresis control input | Digital select: GND → 10°C hysteresis; V+ → 2°C hysteresis; defines thermal recovery margin before OS deasserts. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference & thermal path | Connected directly to die backside; provides primary thermal conduction path to PCB; must be tied to system ground. |
| 3 - VTEMP | Analog temperature-sensing output | Quadratic voltage output proportional to die temperature; weak drive (1 µA source / 40 µA sink); used for calibration and functional test. |
| 4 - V+ | Positive supply input | 2.7V–5.5V operation; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor; PSRR rejects up to 200 mVp-p 100 Hz–1 MHz noise. |
| 5 - OS | Overtemperature shutdown output | Open-drain, active-low; sinks ≥1.2 mA at V+ ≥2.7V; drives MCU interrupt or MOSFET gate via ≥10 kΩ pull-up; asserts at 140°C. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-programmed trip point | 140°C set at wafer level; eliminates external resistors or trimming; ensures repeatable, production-ready thermal shutdown behavior. |
| VTEMP-enabled after-assembly test | Allows full functional verification of sensor, DAC, and comparator on assembled PCB by forcing VTEMP and observing OS state transitions. |
| No external components required | Self-contained thermostat: internal reference, DAC, sensor, and comparator eliminate BOM count, layout area, and calibration labor. |
| High PSRR architecture | Rejects 400 kHz square-wave (1 Vp-p) and 100 Hz–1 MHz sine-wave (200 mVp-p) noise on V+, preventing false trips in noisy power environments. |
| SOT-23 thermal mounting flexibility | GND pin bonded to die backside enables direct thermal coupling to PCB copper; achieves <±0.06°C error vs. surface temperature when properly mounted. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar overtemperature shutdown applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM27CIM5-1HJ/NOPB | 130°C trip point (10°C lower); identical pinout, package, and electrical specs. | Suitable for systems requiring earlier thermal intervention, e.g., lower-Tj MOSFET protection or tighter safety margins. | Select when 130°C shutdown aligns with system thermal design; no PCB or firmware changes needed. |
| LM27CIM5-ZHJ/NOPB | 120°C trip point (20°C lower); same SOT-23-5 DBV package and open-drain OS functionality. | Preferred for cost-sensitive consumer appliances where lower trip thresholds reduce thermal stress on plastic enclosures. | Choose for legacy designs migrating from 120°C setpoint; maintains identical interface and layout compatibility. |
Compared with LM27CIM5-2HJ/NOPB, the 130°C and 120°C variants provide earlier thermal warning points while preserving identical hysteresis selection, VTEMP calibration, and low-power operation - enabling scalable thermal protection across product families without redesigning the sensing interface.

FAQ
What is the exact trip point temperature of LM27CIM5-2HJ/NOPB?
The LM27CIM5-2HJ/NOPB has a factory-programmed overtemperature shutdown trip point of exactly 140°C. This value is laser-trimmed during manufacturing and specified with ±3°C maximum accuracy across −40°C to +150°C ambient temperature. The trip point is fixed and cannot be adjusted externally - it is defined by the "2HJ" suffix per TI's part numbering scheme.
How does the HYST pin configure hysteresis on LM27CIM5-2HJ/NOPB?
On LM27CIM5-2HJ/NOPB, the HYST pin selects hysteresis magnitude: connecting HYST to GND sets 10°C hysteresis (OS returns HIGH at 130°C), while connecting HYST to V+ sets 2°C hysteresis (OS returns HIGH at 138°C). This digital selection requires no resistors or timing components and directly controls the comparator's feedback threshold within the IC.
Can LM27CIM5-2HJ/NOPB be used for undertemperature detection?
No - LM27CIM5-2HJ/NOPB is factory-configured exclusively for overtemperature shutdown (OS function). The "2HJ" suffix denotes active-low open-drain OS output with 140°C trip point. Undertemperature variants (e.g., US output) use different suffixes like "K" or "N"; LM27CIM5-2HJ/NOPB lacks internal US functionality and cannot be reconfigured.
What is the purpose of the VTEMP pin on LM27CIM5-2HJ/NOPB?
The VTEMP pin on LM27CIM5-2HJ/NOPB provides an analog voltage output proportional to die temperature, following VO = −3.552×10⁻⁶(T−30)² −10.69576×10⁻³(T−30) + 1.8386 V. It enables post-assembly functional testing, calibration verification, and non-intrusive temperature monitoring without requiring external sensors or ADC resources.
Is LM27CIM5-2HJ/NOPB RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes - LM27CIM5-2HJ/NOPB is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, as confirmed by TI's packaging documentation. It carries the "/NOPB" suffix, indicating Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) material content, Sn (tin) lead finish, and JEDEC Level-1 moisture sensitivity rating (260°C peak reflow). Full compliance data is available in TI's PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM.
