Product details
Overview
LM45BIM3-TI from Texas Instruments is a precision analog centigrade temperature sensor in SOT-23 package, delivering linear 10.0 mV/°C output voltage with ±3°C accuracy over −20°C to +100°C, 120 μA quiescent current, and 20 Ω low-impedance output - used for battery management, HVAC monitoring, and portable medical instrument thermal sensing.
For engineers reviewing the LM45BIM3-TI datasheet, LM45BIM3-TI pinout, LM45BIM3-TI application, or LM45BIM3-TI equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of specifications, validated alternative options, and supply-chain support for industrial embedded and connected-device programs.
Technical Context
The LM45BIM3-TI integrates a calibrated silicon bandgap temperature-sensing element with a low-offset operational amplifier buffer, enabling direct Celsius-to-voltage conversion without external calibration. Its architecture ensures monotonic output across the full operating range and minimal self-heating (0.20°C in still air) due to sub-120 μA supply current.
It operates from a single 4.0 V to 10 V supply, supports remote sensing via its grounded die backside, and maintains ±0.8°C max nonlinearity over temperature. The device is not digitally compensated - all accuracy and linearity are achieved through wafer-level trimming and analog circuit design.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog centigrade temperature sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM35DMX/NOPB | Same 10 mV/°C scale, but ±2°C accuracy at +25°C only; ±4°C over −40°C to +125°C range; TO-92 package | Higher accuracy at room temp but wider full-range error; larger through-hole footprint limits space-constrained PCBs | Select when tighter room-temp accuracy is prioritized and TO-92 mounting is acceptable |
| TSIC506-200 | Digital I²C output, ±0.5°C accuracy, 3.3 V only, integrated 12-bit ADC; SOIC-8 package | Requires I²C host and firmware integration; eliminates analog noise susceptibility but adds protocol overhead | Select when digital interface, higher accuracy, and immunity to analog routing noise are required |
Compared with LM35DMX/NOPB, the LM45BIM3-TI offers better full-range accuracy (±3°C vs ±4°C) and smaller SOT-23 footprint; compared with TSIC506-200, it avoids I²C dependency and supports wider supply voltage (4–10 V), making it preferable for simple analog readout systems.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range specified for the LM45BIM3-TI?
The LM45BIM3-TI is rated for full operation from −20°C to +100°C, with guaranteed ±3°C accuracy across that entire range. Its extended operating temperature range is −40°C to +125°C, though accuracy degrades outside the rated range - for example, ±4°C at TMIN or TMAX beyond −20°C to +100°C per electrical characteristics table. This makes LM45BIM3-TI suitable for industrial enclosures and automotive cabin environments but not under-hood locations.
Does the LM45BIM3-TI require external calibration or trimming?
No, the LM45BIM3-TI does not require external calibration or trimming. It achieves ±3°C accuracy over −20°C to +100°C through wafer-level trimming during manufacturing, as confirmed in the "Features" and "Description" sections of the SNIS117C datasheet. This eliminates post-assembly calibration steps, reducing production cost and test time in high-volume applications using LM45BIM3-TI.
What is the maximum capacitive load the LM45BIM3-TI can drive directly?
The LM45BIM3-TI can drive up to 500 pF capacitively without special precautions, as stated in the "Capacitive Loads" section of the datasheet. Driving heavier loads may cause instability or overshoot; for such cases, TI recommends adding a series resistor (e.g., 75 Ω) and/or an R-C damper (e.g., 75 Ω + 0.2 μF to ground) as shown in Figure 17 - a design consideration critical when routing LM45BIM3-TI output to long traces or ADC input filters.
How does self-heating affect measurement accuracy of the LM45BIM3-TI?
The LM45BIM3-TI exhibits less than 0.20°C self-heating in still air, due to its ≤120 μA quiescent current and SOT-23 thermal resistance of 260°C/W. This means internal power dissipation (~0.6 mW at 5 V) raises junction temperature by <0.2°C above ambient - a negligible error in most applications. However, in thermally isolated mounts or sealed enclosures with poor airflow, self-heating must be factored into LM45BIM3-TI placement and thermal modeling.
Is the LM45BIM3-TI pin-compatible with other LM45 variants like LM45CIM3?
Yes, the LM45BIM3-TI is pin-compatible with LM45CIM3 and all other LM45 SOT-23 variants (e.g., LM45BIM3X/NOPB), sharing identical DBZ package drawing, 3-pin SOT-23 footprint, and pinout (VS, GND, VOUT). The difference lies solely in accuracy grade: LM45B guarantees ±3°C over −20°C to +100°C, while LM45C guarantees ±4°C over the same range. No PCB changes are needed when substituting LM45BIM3-TI for LM45CIM3 in existing layouts.
