Product details
Overview
LM57TQPWQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive-qualified resistor-programmable temperature switch with dual digital outputs (TOVER active-high push-pull, TOVER active-low open-drain) and a class AB analog VTEMP output. It delivers ±2.3°C trip accuracy and ±1.3°C analog sensor accuracy across −50°C to +125°C, with 10°C hysteresis, for engine bay thermal monitoring and battery pack overtemperature protection.
For engineers reviewing the LM57TQPWQ1 datasheet, LM57TQPWQ1 pinout, LM57TQPWQ1 application, or LM57TQPWQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its resistor-settable trip point (256 values), programmable NTC-slope VTEMP gain (J2–J5), TRIP-TEST in-system verification capability, and automotive-grade reliability under extended thermal stress.
Technical Context
The LM57TQPWQ1 integrates an internal DAC, analog temperature sensor, and comparator to generate precise trip decisions based on external RSENSE1/RSENSE2 resistor ratios. Its VTEMP output exhibits four programmable negative temperature coefficients (−5.166, −7.752, −10.339, or −12.924 mV/°C), each mapped to specific trip-point ranges.
Built-in 10°C hysteresis prevents output oscillation during thermal transitions. The TRIP-TEST pin enables functional verification by forcing both digital outputs active and routing VTRIP to VTEMP, allowing microcontroller-based validation of comparator and output circuitry post-assembly.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Temp Range | −50°C to +125°C - supports under-hood automotive applications with full specification compliance. |
| Supply Voltage | +2.4 V to +5.5 V - compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V automotive power rails without level-shifting. |
| Tript Point Accuracy | ±2.3°C - includes contribution from 1% external resistors; no additional error from resistor tolerance. |
| VTEMP Accuracy | ±1.3°C - enables high-fidelity thermal telemetry for closed-loop control or diagnostics. |
| Hysteresis | 10°C - factory-set; prevents chatter during slow thermal transients near TTRIP. |
| Quiescent Current | 24–29 µA - minimizes self-heating (<0.02°C) and extends battery life in always-on systems. |
| Startup Time | 1.5 ms - ensures rapid readiness after power-up for safety-critical thermal response. |
Pinout & Package
Packaged in PW/TSSOP-8 (3.00 mm × 6.40 mm), the LM57TQPWQ1 uses a standard surface-mount footprint compatible with automated assembly and high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Power ground reference | Common return path for analog and digital sections; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| SENSE1 / SENSE2 | Resistor divider inputs | Determine TTRIP and VTEMP gain via ratio; tolerate 1% resistor tolerance without accuracy penalty. |
| VDD | Positive supply input | Accepts 2.4–5.5 V; powers internal bandgap, DAC, comparator, and output drivers. |
| TRIP TEST | Digital test enable input | Active-high; asserts outputs and routes VTRIP to VTEMP for in-system functional verification. |
| TOVER | Active-high overtemp output | Push-pull structure drives high without external pull-up; directly interfaces with MCU GPIO. |
| TOVER | Active-low overtemp output | Open-drain structure requires external pull-up; enables wired-OR fault-bus architectures. |
| VTEMP | Analog temperature voltage output | Class AB output with programmable NTC slope; connects directly to ADC input without buffering. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Resistor-programmable trip point | 256 discrete thresholds set by two 1% external resistors - eliminates need for trimming or calibration. |
| Dual independent digital outputs | TOVER (push-pull) and TOVER (open-drain) - supports diverse MCU interface requirements and fault-bus topologies. |
| TRIP-TEST latching function | Asserting TRIP-TEST latches TOVER/TOVER state until cleared - enables persistent fault indication without continuous polling. |
| VTEMP with selectable NTC gain | Four slopes (J2–J5) matched to trip range - ensures optimal ADC resolution across full operating temperature span. |
| Short-circuit protected outputs | Both analog and digital outputs withstand sustained short-to-rail conditions - improves system robustness in harsh environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar temperature switch and analog sensor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM57FQPWQ1 | 5°C hysteresis (vs. 10°C); same package, grade, and accuracy specs | Better suited for applications requiring tighter thermal window control before trip assertion | Select when thermal transients are rapid and minimal hysteresis is needed to avoid delayed response |
| LM57TSPWQ1 | Grade 0 Extended (−50°C to +160°C operating range); same 10°C hysteresis | Required for under-hood locations exceeding +125°C, e.g., turbocharger proximity sensing | Choose only when ambient operating temperature exceeds +125°C; otherwise LM57TQPWQ1 is optimal for Grade 1 cost/performance balance |
Compared with LM57FQPWQ1 and LM57TSPWQ1, the LM57TQPWQ1 offers the optimal combination of 10°C hysteresis for stable switching, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for mainstream automotive use, and cost-effective TSSOP-8 packaging - making it the preferred choice for ECU, BMS, and lighting thermal management where +125°C max ambient is sufficient.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range specified for the LM57TQPWQ1?
The LM57TQPWQ1 is rated for operation from −50°C to +125°C per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 specifications. This range is fully characterized for all electrical parameters including trip accuracy (±2.3°C), VTEMP accuracy (±1.3°C), and hysteresis (10°C). Operation beyond +125°C is not guaranteed and requires evaluation of the LM57TSPWQ1 variant.
How does the LM57TQPWQ1 achieve ±2.3°C trip point accuracy despite using external 1% resistors?
The LM57TQPWQ1 achieves ±2.3°C trip accuracy because its internal architecture decodes resistor ratios into 16 discrete logic levels that drive a DAC - resistor tolerance contributes zero error to threshold setting. The ±2.3°C spec includes all sources: DAC linearity, comparator offset, and sensor nonlinearity - verified across −50°C to +125°C.
Can the LM57TQPWQ1's VTEMP output drive an ADC input directly without buffering?
Yes, the LM57TQPWQ1's VTEMP output is a class AB driver capable of sourcing/sinking up to 300 µA and tolerating 1100 pF capacitive load - sufficient to drive most SAR and delta-sigma ADC inputs directly. Load regulation remains within ±1 mV for sink currents ≤300 µA, eliminating need for op-amp buffering in typical implementations.
What is the purpose of the TRIP-TEST pin on the LM57TQPWQ1, and how is it used in production testing?
The TRIP-TEST pin on the LM57TQPWQ1 enables in-system functional verification: driving it high asserts both TOVER and TOVER outputs and routes the trip-reference voltage VTRIP to VTEMP. This allows a microcontroller to confirm comparator decision logic and output driver functionality without thermal cycling - a critical capability for end-of-line test in automotive manufacturing.
Does the LM57TQPWQ1 require external pull-up resistors on its digital outputs?
Only TOVER (active-low, open-drain) requires an external pull-up resistor; TOVER (active-high, push-pull) does not. TI recommends a 4.7 kΩ pull-up to VDD for TOVER to ensure clean logic transitions and noise immunity. No pull-up is needed for TOVER - it actively drives high to VDD – 0.2 V at 600 µA source current.
