Product details
Overview
LM61BIM3/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision analog-output temperature sensor in SOT-23-3 package, delivering 10 mV/°C linear output with 600 mV DC offset to enable single-supply operation across –25°C to 85°C. It draws ≤125 µA at 25°C, achieves ±2°C accuracy at room temperature, and features 800 Ω max output impedance-ideal for battery-powered thermal monitoring in compact embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM61BIM3/NOPB datasheet, LM61BIM3/NOPB pinout, LM61BIM3/NOPB application, or LM61BIM3/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its calibrated slope, low quiescent current, offset-enabled negative-temperature capability, and SOT-23 thermal performance under constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LM61BIM3/NOPB implements a delta-VBE-based sensing element buffered by a Class-A output amplifier, producing a strictly analog voltage output directly proportional to die temperature. Its transfer function VO = (10 mV/°C × T°C) + 600 mV is factory-trimmed and stable over 2.7 V–10 V supply range.
No digital interface, configuration registers, or shutdown control exist-the device operates continuously in a single functional mode. Thermal self-heating is limited to ≤0.2°C in still air due to sub-125 µA quiescent current, and output impedance remains ≤800 Ω across full operating temperature and supply range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Temperature Range | –25°C to +85°C operating range; supports industrial ambient monitoring without external cold-junction compensation. |
| Output Slope | 10 mV/°C ±0.3 mV/°C; enables direct ADC scaling with minimal gain error across full range. |
| Accuracy | ±2°C at 25°C; ensures reliable thermal threshold detection in consumer and computing applications. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 10 V; compatible with single-cell Li-ion, 3.3 V logic rails, and legacy 5 V systems. |
| Quiescent Current | ≤125 µA at 25°C; permits direct connection to microcontroller GPIO pins for power gating. |
| Output Impedance | ≤800 Ω; drives standard 10 kΩ ADC input loads with <0.1% gain error without buffering. |
| Nonlinearity | ±0.8°C max; simplifies calibration by reducing need for higher-order polynomial correction. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-3 (DBZ) package: 1.30 mm × 2.92 mm body, 0.95 mm height, JEDEC-compliant footprint with gull-wing leads. Designed for reflow soldering per Level-1-260°C MSL rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| +VS (Pin 1) | Positive power supply | Accepts 2.7 V–10 V DC; must be bypassed with 0.1 µF capacitor to GND for noise immunity. |
| VOUT (Pin 2) | Analog temperature output | Provides ratiometric voltage: 350 mV at –25°C, 850 mV at 25°C, 1450 mV at 85°C; connects directly to ADC input. |
| GND (Pin 3) | Reference ground | Die backside thermally bonded to this pin; mounting surface temperature couples within 0.2°C of sensed value. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 600 mV output offset | Enables measurement of negative temperatures down to –25°C using only a single positive supply-no dual-rail op-amps or level-shifting required. |
| UL recognition | Meets UL 1434 Component Recognition Standard, supporting safety-certified designs in end equipment without additional isolation. |
| Low self-heating | ≤0.2°C temperature rise in still air ensures measurement fidelity when mounted on thermally isolated PCB traces or small heatsinks. |
| Delta-VBE architecture | Delivers inherent linearity and long-term stability (±0.2°C drift after 1000 hrs at 100°C), reducing recalibration frequency in field-deployed systems. |
| Capacitive load tolerance | Stable with ≥1 µF output capacitance; allows simple RC filtering (e.g., 1 µF + 5 kΩ = 32 Hz LPF) without oscillation or phase shift. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog-output temperature sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM61CIM3X/NOPB | Wider –30°C to +100°C range; ±3°C accuracy at 25°C; same SOT-23-3 package and pinout. | Required for automotive cabin or outdoor industrial enclosures where extended low-temp operation is mandatory. | Select LM61CIM3X/NOPB when full –30°C specification compliance is needed; otherwise LM61BIM3/NOPB offers tighter ±2°C accuracy at 25°C. |
| TS3217-25IYDT | ±1.5°C accuracy at 25°C; 10 mV/°C slope; 1.8 V–5.5 V supply; SOT-23-3; no UL recognition. | Preferred for cost-sensitive, high-volume consumer electronics where UL certification is not required. | Choose TS3217-25IYDT for lower-cost, higher-accuracy alternatives in non-safety-critical applications; verify thermal layout compatibility. |
Compared with LM61CIM3X/NOPB, the LM61BIM3/NOPB trades extended temperature range for improved ±2°C accuracy at 25°C-making it optimal for computing and telecom thermal guardbanding. Against TS3217-25IYDT, it provides UL recognition and wider supply range but slightly relaxed accuracy spec.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LM61BIM3/NOPB?
The LM61BIM3/NOPB is rated for operation from –25°C to +85°C. This range is specified in the official Texas Instruments datasheet (SNIS121J, November 2016 revision) and validated across all electrical characteristics including accuracy, output slope, and quiescent current. The LM61BIM3/NOPB variant does not support the –30°C lower limit found in the LM61C grade.
Does the LM61BIM3/NOPB require external calibration?
No, the LM61BIM3/NOPB is factory-calibrated and requires no external calibration for standard use. Its 10 mV/°C slope and 600 mV offset are trimmed during production, enabling direct voltage-to-temperature conversion using VO = (10 mV/°C × T°C) + 600 mV. System-level calibration may still be applied for enhanced accuracy, but the LM61BIM3/NOPB delivers ±2°C accuracy at 25°C out-of-the-box.
Can the LM61BIM3/NOPB be powered directly from a microcontroller GPIO pin?
Yes, the LM61BIM3/NOPB can be powered directly from a microcontroller GPIO pin due to its ≤125 µA quiescent current at 25°C and 2.7 V minimum supply requirement. Many 3.3 V GPIOs can safely source this current; however, ensure the GPIO's absolute maximum output current rating exceeds 130 µA and that firmware disables the pin during sleep to avoid leakage paths. The LM61BIM3/NOPB inherently supports this low-power "always-on" topology.
What is the meaning of the "NOPB" suffix in LM61BIM3/NOPB?
The "NOPB" suffix in LM61BIM3/NOPB indicates lead-free (Pb-free) finish with NiPdAu plating, compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. It replaces legacy leaded versions and is fully compatible with standard SnPb and lead-free reflow profiles. Per TI's packaging documentation, LM61BIM3/NOPB uses SN (tin) lead finish and carries Level-1 MSL rating for unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH.
How does the LM61BIM3/NOPB handle capacitive loads on its VOUT pin?
The LM61BIM3/NOPB is designed to drive capacitive loads up to at least 1 µF without instability. Its output stage maintains phase margin across temperature and supply variations, allowing direct addition of RC filters (e.g., 1 µF + 5 kΩ) for noise reduction. TI application notes confirm stable operation with such loads, and the 800 Ω max output impedance ensures predictable time constants-critical for accurate thermal response in noisy environments.
