Product details
Overview
LM35H/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision centigrade temperature sensor IC with analog voltage output directly proportional to ambient temperature, featuring ±0.4°C accuracy at 25°C, −55°C to +150°C operating range, and 10 mV/°C linear scale factor. It operates from 4 V to 30 V supply, draws <60 µA quiescent current, and delivers low-impedance output (≤0.5 Ω) for direct interfacing with ADCs or instrumentation amplifiers in thermal monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM35H/NOPB datasheet, LM35H/NOPB pinout, LM35H/NOPB application, or LM35H/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its calibrated Celsius output (no Kelvin offset subtraction required), wafer-level trimming eliminating external calibration, self-heating <0.08°C in still air, and compatibility with single-supply systems across industrial, automotive, and power electronics thermal management.
Technical Context
The LM35H/NOPB implements a delta-VBE temperature-sensing element buffered by a Class-A amplifier, producing a ratiometric analog output where VOUT = 10 mV/°C × T(°C). Its architecture ensures inherent linearity without external components and supports operation with either single or dual supplies.
No functional modes or digital configuration exist - the device operates exclusively in continuous analog sensing mode. Output impedance remains stable at ≤0.5 Ω under 1 mA load, enabling direct connection to high-impedance inputs while maintaining accuracy across its full −55°C to +150°C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Scale Factor | 10 mV/°C - enables direct Celsius reading without offset compensation or scaling math |
| Accuracy (25°C) | ±0.4°C tested limit - ensures reliable temperature measurement without system-level calibration |
| Operating Range | −55°C to +150°C - supports extreme-environment applications including engine bay and industrial ovens |
| Supply Voltage | 4 V to 30 V - allows use with common 5 V, 12 V, and 24 V rails without regulation |
| Quiescent Current | 56 µA typical at 25°C - minimizes self-heating (<0.08°C) and extends battery life in portable systems |
| Output Impedance | ≤0.5 Ω - permits driving 1 mA loads directly into ADC reference buffers or op-amp inputs |
| Non-Linearity | ±0.3°C typical - maintains precision across full range without polynomial correction |
Pinout & Package
LM35H/NOPB is supplied in the TO-46 metal can package (NDV), with case connected to GND. This hermetic 3-pin through-hole package measures 4.699 mm × 4.699 mm and provides robust thermal and EMI performance in harsh environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| +VS (Pin 1) | Positive Power Supply Input | Accepts 4 V–30 V DC; no reverse-polarity protection - must be externally safeguarded |
| VOUT (Pin 2) | Analog Temperature Output | Source-only output; delivers 0 mV at −55°C, 250 mV at 25°C, 1500 mV at 150°C |
| GND (Pin 3) | Ground Reference / Case Connection | Internally tied to metal can; requires low-impedance PCB ground plane for thermal stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Calibrated in Celsius | Eliminates need for Kelvin-to-Celsius conversion or fixed-offset subtraction in firmware or signal chain |
| Wafer-Level Trimming | Enables factory-calibrated accuracy without post-assembly trimming, reducing BOM and test cost |
| Low Self-Heating | <0.08°C error in still air - preserves measurement fidelity in thermally isolated or sealed enclosures |
| Single-Supply Operation | Functions from 4 V to 30 V with no negative rail - simplifies power design in 12 V/24 V industrial systems |
| Hermetic TO-46 Package | Provides superior moisture resistance and long-term stability vs. plastic TO-92 in humid or corrosive environments |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM35CZ/NOPB | Plastic TO-92 package; rated −40°C to +110°C; ±0.4°C accuracy at 25°C but ±1.5°C at extremes | Lower-cost alternative for non-extreme environments; unsuitable for >110°C or <−40°C operation | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs extended range and hermetic reliability requirements |
| TSIC506-1000 | Digital I²C output; ±0.5°C accuracy; integrated 12-bit ADC; 2.7–5.5 V supply; 10 µA sleep current | Replaces analog signal chain with digital interface; eliminates external ADC and noise-sensitive routing | Choose for microcontroller-based systems needing digital integration, low power, or immunity to analog noise |
Compared with LM35CZ/NOPB, LM35H/NOPB offers wider temperature range and hermetic packaging for harsh environments; compared with TSIC506-1000, it provides simpler analog integration and higher output drive capability but requires external ADC and careful analog layout.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature of the LM35H/NOPB?
The LM35H/NOPB is rated for continuous operation from −55°C to +150°C junction temperature. Its hermetic TO-46 package maintains parameter stability across this full range, with tested accuracy limits specified up to +150°C per TI's SNIS159H datasheet revision December 2017. Exceeding +150°C risks permanent parametric shift or failure.
Does the LM35H/NOPB require external calibration or trimming?
No - the LM35H/NOPB does not require external calibration or trimming. It achieves ±0.4°C accuracy at 25°C and ±0.8°C at temperature extremes via wafer-level laser trimming, as confirmed in Section 6.7 of the official datasheet. This inherent calibration eliminates post-assembly adjustment and reduces system-level test complexity.
Can the LM35H/NOPB drive an ADC input directly?
Yes - the LM35H/NOPB features ≤0.5 Ω output impedance and can directly drive standard SAR or delta-sigma ADC inputs with input impedances ≥10 kΩ. Its 10 mV/°C output scales cleanly to common 5 V or 3.3 V references (e.g., 250 mV at 25°C yields ~153 LSBs on a 12-bit 5 V ADC), avoiding gain-stage errors.
What is the supply current consumption of the LM35H/NOPB?
The LM35H/NOPB draws 56 µA typical quiescent current at 25°C and 5 V supply, rising to 105 µA at −40°C to +125°C per Section 6.7. This ultra-low current minimizes self-heating (<0.08°C in still air) and extends battery life in portable thermal monitors - critical for applications like wireless sensor nodes.
Is the LM35H/NOPB pin-compatible with other LM35 variants?
Yes - the LM35H/NOPB shares identical 3-pin TO-46 pinout (Pin 1: +VS, Pin 2: VOUT, Pin 3: GND) with all LM35 variants in the same package type. However, it is not pin-compatible with TO-92 (LM35CZ/NOPB) or SOIC (LM35D) variants due to differing physical layouts and terminal assignments.
