Product details
Overview
LM335AM/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision 2-terminal Kelvin-referenced temperature sensor operating as a programmable zener with linear 10 mV/K output, ±1°C initial accuracy at 25°C, −40°C to +100°C operating range, and <1 Ω dynamic impedance. It serves as a direct Kelvin-scale voltage source in analog temperature monitoring circuits for industrial control and battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM335AM/NOPB datasheet, LM335AM/NOPB pinout, LM335AM/NOPB application, or LM335AM/NOPB equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SOIC-8 package details, calibrated vs. uncalibrated functional modes, thermal time constant data, and real-world implementation guidance for stable analog temperature sensing.
Technical Context
The LM335AM/NOPB functions as a 2-terminal temperature-dependent zener diode with output voltage directly proportional to absolute temperature (10 mV/K), enabling direct Kelvin-to-voltage conversion without signal conditioning. Its low 0.6 Ω typical dynamic impedance ensures minimal current-induced voltage variation across its 0.4–5 mA operating range.
Calibration is supported via an internal ADJ pin allowing single-point slope correction-adjusting output at one reference temperature corrects scale factor error across the full range due to the device's inherent linearity and 0 K extrapolation point. It operates in two defined functional modes: calibrated and uncalibrated.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision analog temperature sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM335AZ/NOPB | TO-92 package (3-pin), same −40°C to +100°C range and 10 mV/K slope, but higher thermal resistance (202°C/W vs. 165°C/W) and no ADJ pin. | Suitable for low-cost, through-hole prototyping or space-constrained PCBs where SOIC footprint is impractical. | Select LM335AZ/NOPB when board assembly uses manual soldering or requires axial lead form factor. |
| LM335H/NOPB | TO-46 metal can package (3-pin), −40°C to +100°C range, 10 mV/K slope, 400°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, no ADJ pin. | Preferred for high-reliability mil/aero or high-EMI environments where hermetic sealing and EMI shielding are mandatory. | Choose LM335H/NOPB only when environmental ruggedness outweighs SOIC's thermal and calibration advantages. |
Compared with LM335AZ/NOPB and LM335H/NOPB, the LM335AM/NOPB offers superior thermal response (165°C/W), on-chip calibration capability via ADJ pin, and surface-mount compatibility-making it optimal for high-volume, performance-critical analog temperature interfaces.

FAQ
What is the operating current range for the LM335AM/NOPB?
The LM335AM/NOPB operates reliably across a reverse bias current range of 0.4 mA to 5 mA. At 1 mA nominal bias, it delivers optimal accuracy and stability; operation below 0.4 mA risks increased non-linearity, while exceeding 5 mA may cause excessive self-heating. The LM335AM/NOPB's 0.6 Ω dynamic impedance ensures minimal voltage shift across this full range, supporting flexible current-source design.
Does the LM335AM/NOPB require external calibration to achieve ±1°C accuracy?
No-the LM335AM/NOPB achieves ±1°C initial accuracy at 25°C without calibration. However, for improved full-range accuracy (e.g., ±0.5°C over −40°C to +100°C), the ADJ pin supports single-point calibration at a known reference temperature. This adjusts slope error only; the LM335AM/NOPB's inherent linearity ensures correction applies across the entire operating range.
How does the SOIC-8 package of the LM335AM/NOPB affect thermal performance compared to TO-92 versions?
The LM335AM/NOPB's SOIC-8 package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 165°C/W, significantly lower than the 202°C/W of the TO-92 LM335AZ/NOPB. This improves thermal response time and reduces self-heating error under identical bias conditions. Layout best practices-such as thermal vias to inner ground planes-are recommended to maintain this advantage in the LM335AM/NOPB design.
Can the LM335AM/NOPB be used in battery-powered applications with ultra-low power budgets?
Yes-the LM335AM/NOPB supports operation down to 400 μA, enabling microamp-level system power budgets. At 400 μA bias, output remains stable with <15 mV deviation from nominal 10 mV/K slope. Combined with its SOIC-8 footprint and absence of startup delay, the LM335AM/NOPB is well-suited for intermittent-read battery monitors where average current must stay below 1 μA.
What is the purpose of the ADJ pin on the LM335AM/NOPB, and how is it implemented?
The ADJ pin on the LM335AM/NOPB enables single-point slope calibration by connecting a potentiometer between the positive and negative terminals, with its wiper tied to ADJ. Adjusting the pot at a known reference temperature (e.g., 25°C) corrects scale factor error across the full range because the LM335AM/NOPB's output extrapolates linearly to 0 V at 0 K. This eliminates need for multi-point calibration routines in the LM335AM/NOPB system.
