Product details
Overview
LM35DM from Texas Instruments is a precision analog-output centigrade temperature sensor IC with linear 10 mV/°C scaling, ±1°C accuracy over −55°C to +150°C, 60 µA quiescent current, and SOIC-8 surface-mount package. It operates from 4 V to 30 V and delivers low-impedance output (0.1 Ω) for direct interfacing with ADCs in industrial monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM35DM datasheet, LM35DM pinout, LM35DM application, or LM35DM equivalent, key selection criteria include its calibrated Celsius output, full-range operation without external trimming, low self-heating (<0.1°C), and compatibility with single-supply microcontroller-based sensing nodes.
Technical Context
The LM35DM implements a delta-VBE-based temperature-sensing element buffered by a Class-A amplifier, delivering a ratiometric analog voltage directly proportional to junction temperature. Its output stage sources current only (sink capability limited to 1 µA) and exhibits <0.5 Ω typical output impedance under 1 mA load.
No internal compensation or calibration circuitry is required-the device achieves inherent linearity (±0.3°C nonlinearity) and stability (±0.08°C long-term drift) via wafer-level trimming. It functions identically across supply voltages from 4 V to 30 V with negligible line regulation error (±0.02 mV/V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Scale | 10 mV/°C - enables direct Celsius readout without offset subtraction or Kelvin conversion |
| Accuracy | ±1°C over −55°C to +150°C - ensures reliable thermal monitoring in harsh environments without recalibration |
| Supply Range | 4 V to 30 V - supports wide-input industrial power rails and battery-backed systems |
| Quiescent Current | 60 µA at 25°C - minimizes system power budget and self-heating (<0.1°C in still air) |
| Output Impedance | 0.1 Ω at 1 mA - allows direct connection to 12-bit ADCs without buffering amplifiers |
| Nonlinearity | ±0.3°C typical - reduces software correction overhead in embedded temperature algorithms |
| Operating Temp | −55°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, motor control, and power supply thermal protection |
Pinout & Package
LM35DM is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package with 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm body size and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is +VS, pin 2 is VOUT, pin 4 is GND; pins 3, 5–8 are no-connect (N.C.) per TI's official pin configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| +VS (Pin 1) | Positive power supply input | Accepts 4 V–30 V DC; powers internal bandgap and amplifier; no reverse-polarity protection |
| VOUT (Pin 2) | Analog temperature output | Provides 10 mV/°C linear voltage; low-impedance source only; requires high-Z or resistive load |
| GND (Pin 4) | Reference ground | Device substrate reference; must connect to system ground plane for accurate thermal measurement |
| N.C. (Pins 3,5–8) | No electrical connection | Not bonded internally; must remain unconnected-no pull-up/down or routing allowed |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Calibrated in Celsius | Eliminates need for Kelvin-to-Celsius offset math or external DAC trimming in firmware |
| Wafer-level trimming | Ensures ±1°C accuracy without post-packaging calibration, reducing BOM and test cost |
| Low self-heating | 60 µA draw limits thermal error to <0.1°C in still air-critical for sealed enclosure measurements |
| Single-supply operation | Functions from 4 V to 30 V with no negative rail-simplifies power design in PLC and HVAC controllers |
| Hermetic-grade stability | ±0.08°C long-term drift after 1000 hours at TMAX supports 10+ year field reliability in industrial gear |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog-output temperature sensor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM35DZ | TO-92 plastic package; identical electrical specs but higher thermal resistance (180°C/W vs 220°C/W for LM35DM) | Suitable for low-power PCB-mounted sensing where through-hole assembly is preferred | Select LM35DZ when manual soldering or prototyping on breadboards is required |
| ADT7320TRZ | Digital SPI output; ±0.25°C accuracy; 3.3 V only; integrated 16-bit ADC and cold-junction compensation | Used in high-precision digital systems requiring calibrated digital output and no external ADC | Choose ADT7320TRZ when system already uses SPI peripherals and demands sub-degree accuracy without analog signal chain design |
Compared with LM35DZ and ADT7320TRZ, the LM35DM offers optimal balance of analog simplicity, wide supply range, and surface-mount manufacturability-making it ideal for cost-sensitive, high-volume industrial controllers where analog integration is preferred over digital interface overhead.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LM35DM?
The LM35DM is rated for continuous operation from −55°C to +150°C. This full-range specification is validated per TI's production testing and applies across the entire supply voltage range (4 V to 30 V). The device maintains ±1°C accuracy across this span without external calibration, making it suitable for under-hood automotive, motor control, and industrial power applications where extreme thermal environments occur.
Does the LM35DM require external calibration or trimming?
No, the LM35DM does not require external calibration or trimming. It achieves ±1°C accuracy over −55°C to +150°C through wafer-level laser trimming and inherent delta-VBE architecture. TI's datasheet confirms that no external components, resistor networks, or firmware offsets are needed to achieve specified accuracy-enabling plug-and-play integration into analog signal chains.
Can the LM35DM drive capacitive loads directly?
The LM35DM can drive up to 50 pF capacitively without instability. For heavier loads (e.g., long cables or ADC input capacitance >50 pF), TI recommends adding a 200 Ω series resistor between VOUT and the load to isolate capacitance. This preserves step response fidelity and avoids oscillation-critical in fast-responding thermal protection circuits using the LM35DM.
What is the output impedance of the LM35DM and why does it matter?
The LM35DM has a typical output impedance of 0.1 Ω at 1 mA load, verified per TI's Electrical Characteristics table. This ultra-low impedance enables direct connection to 12-bit SAR or delta-sigma ADCs without buffer amplifiers-reducing component count, board space, and signal path error in systems like HVAC controllers and power supply monitors using the LM35DM.
Is the LM35DM pin-compatible with other LM35 variants like LM35D or LM35C?
No-the LM35DM (SOIC-8) has a different pinout than the LM35D (TO-220, 3-pin) and LM35C (TO-92, 3-pin). While all share the same functional pins (+VS, VOUT, GND), the LM35DM allocates N.C. to pins 3 and 5–8, whereas 3-pin variants use all terminals. PCB layout and footprint must be redesigned when substituting the LM35DM for any 3-pin variant.
