Product details
Overview
LM57TQPWRQ1 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 operates from −50°C to +125°C, provides ±2.3°C trip accuracy and ±1.3°C analog sensor accuracy, and uses two external 1% resistors to set trip point across 256 values-used in engine control units for overtemperature shutdown.
For engineers reviewing the LM57TQPWRQ1 datasheet, LM57TQPWRQ1 pinout, LM57TQPWRQ1 application, or LM57TQPWRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning for each specification, validated pin functions, automotive-grade thermal hysteresis behavior, and confirmed alternative parts with documented functional differences.
Technical Context
The LM57TQPWRQ1 integrates an internal DAC, analog temperature sensor, and comparator to generate programmable trip thresholds via SENSE1/SENSE2 resistor networks. Its VTEMP output features four selectable negative temperature coefficient slopes (J2 to J5), each tied to a specific trip-point range and calibrated for linearity across −50°C to +125°C.
Digital outputs include built-in 10°C hysteresis (THYST), preventing oscillation during thermal transitions. TOVER asserts high on overtemperature; TOVER asserts low and requires an external pull-up. TRIP-TEST enables in-system functional verification by forcing both digital outputs active and routing VTRIP to VTEMP.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Temp Range | −50°C to +125°C - supports under-hood automotive applications without derating. |
| Supply Voltage | +2.4 V to +5.5 V - compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontroller I/O domains. |
| Tript Point Accuracy | ±2.3°C - guaranteed over full temperature range using 1% external resistors; resistor tolerance contributes zero error to threshold. |
| VTEMP Accuracy | ±1.3°C - enables direct ADC reading of die temperature without calibration in most systems. |
| Hysteresis | 10°C - factory-set, prevents chatter during slow thermal transients in motor drivers or power converters. |
| Quiescent Current | 24–29 µA - minimizes self-heating (<0.02°C) and extends battery life in always-on modules. |
| VTEMP Gain Options | J2 (−5.166 mV/°C) to J5 (−12.924 mV/°C) - slope selected automatically by resistor network; ensures optimal ADC resolution per trip range. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-8 package (3.00 mm × 6.40 mm), thermally enhanced for PCB-mounted automotive sensors; JEDEC MS-012 compliant, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed pad optional.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Power ground reference | Primary return path for analog and digital sections; must connect to low-impedance system ground plane. |
| SENSE1 / SENSE2 | Resistor divider input | Sets trip temperature and VTEMP gain; ratio determines one of 16 logic levels decoded by internal DAC. |
| VDD | Positive supply | Accepts 2.4–5.5 V; powers internal bandgap, DAC, comparator, and output drivers. |
| TRIP TEST | Digital test enable | Active-high input; when asserted, forces TOVER/TOVER active and outputs VTRIP on VTEMP for production test. |
| TOVER | Active-high overtemp signal | Push-pull output; drives MCU interrupt directly without pull-up; asserts above TTRIP, releases at TTRIP − 10°C. |
| TOVER | Active-low overtemp signal | Open-drain output; requires external pull-up; used for wired-OR fault bus or legacy interface compatibility. |
| VTEMP | Analog temperature voltage | Class AB output; linear NTC response; valid within 1.5 ms of power-up; sinks/sources ≤300 µA. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Resistor-programmable trip point | 256 discrete thresholds from −50°C to +125°C; no firmware or EEPROM required for configuration. |
| Latching function | Tying TOVER to TRIP-TEST latches TOVER/TOVER after trip; cleared only by pulling TRIP-TEST low or power cycle. |
| In-system TRIP-TEST verification | Confirms comparator functionality and output driver integrity post-assembly without thermal chamber. |
| Short-circuit protected outputs | TOVER and TOVER survive sustained short to VDD or GND; VTEMP output withstands 1100 pF capacitive load. |
| Low self-heating | 24–29 µA quiescent current limits thermal offset to <0.02°C-critical for precision thermal monitoring. |
Applications
| Engine Control Module (ECM) | Electric Power Steering (EPS) |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM57FQPWRQ1 | 5°C hysteresis (vs. 10°C); same package, grade, and accuracy specs. | Better suited for fast-transient environments where tighter thermal window prevents nuisance trips. | Select when thermal ramp rates exceed 5°C/s and system cannot tolerate 10°C deadband. |
| LM57TEPWQ1 | Same 10°C hysteresis but Standard Grade 0 (−50°C to +150°C) vs. Grade 1 (−50°C to +125°C). | Required for under-hood applications exceeding 125°C ambient, e.g., turbocharger proximity mounting. | Choose when operating ambient exceeds 125°C but full Grade 0 Extended (170°C) capability is unnecessary. |
Compared with LM57FQPWRQ1 and LM57TEPWQ1, the LM57TQPWRQ1 uniquely balances 10°C hysteresis for robustness in noisy automotive environments with Grade 1 qualification-reducing cost versus Grade 0 while maintaining reliability at 125°C ambient.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature of the LM57TQPWRQ1?
The LM57TQPWRQ1 is qualified for Automotive Grade 1 operation, supporting a free-air temperature range of −50°C to +125°C. This rating is validated per AEC-Q100 with full reliability testing-including HTOL at 170°C for Grade 0 Extended variants-but LM57TQPWRQ1 itself is specified up to +125°C ambient. Exceeding this limit may impact trip accuracy and long-term reliability.
How does the LM57TQPWRQ1 achieve ±2.3°C trip accuracy with external resistors?
The LM57TQPWRQ1 achieves ±2.3°C trip accuracy because its internal DAC decodes resistor ratios into 16 discrete logic levels-each mapped to a precise trip voltage-making the threshold independent of absolute resistor tolerance. Only resistor ratio matching matters, so standard 1% resistors deliver full specified accuracy without trimming or calibration.
Can the LM57TQPWRQ1 be used without connecting the TRIP-TEST pin?
Yes, the LM57TQPWRQ1 operates fully without TRIP-TEST connection: tie TRIP-TEST to GND if unused. In normal operation (TRIP-TEST = 0), VTEMP outputs the analog temperature voltage and TOVER/TOVER respond to thermal events. Leaving TRIP-TEST floating is not recommended due to noise susceptibility; grounding ensures deterministic behavior.
What is the purpose of the two different digital outputs (TOVER and TOVER) on the LM57TQPWRQ1?
The LM57TQPWRQ1 provides TOVER (active-high push-pull) and TOVER (active-low open-drain) to support diverse system interface requirements. TOVER drives interrupts directly into 3.3 V or 5 V MCUs without external components. TOVER enables wired-OR fault buses, level-shifting, or compatibility with legacy open-drain monitoring circuits-giving designers flexibility in fault signaling architecture.
Does the LM57TQPWRQ1 require external capacitors on the VTEMP pin?
No, the LM57TQPWRQ1 does not require an external capacitor on the VTEMP pin. Its class AB output drives capacitive loads up to 1100 pF without instability. However, a small ceramic capacitor (e.g., 100 nF) may be added near the ADC input to reduce noise coupling-this is a system-level decision, not a device requirement.
