Product details
Overview
LM61BIZ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision analog-output temperature sensor in TO-92 package, delivering linear 10 mV/°C output with 600 mV DC offset to support –25°C to +85°C sensing on a single 2.7-V supply. It achieves ±2°C accuracy at 25°C and ±3°C across its full operating range, with 125 µA quiescent current and 800 Ω max output impedance-enabling direct ADC interfacing in battery-powered thermal monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM61BIZ/NOPB datasheet, LM61BIZ/NOPB pinout, LM61BIZ/NOPB application, or LM61BIZ/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning for key specs, validated pin functions, application-specific implementation insights, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The LM61BIZ/NOPB uses a delta-VBE sensing element buffered by a Class-A output amplifier, producing a strictly linear analog voltage output proportional to absolute temperature. Its 600 mV offset enables negative-temperature measurement without dual supplies, while its low 125 µA quiescent current limits self-heating to ≤0.09°C in still air (TO-92 package, RθJA = 162.2°C/W).
It operates over 2.7 V to 10 V supply range and exhibits ±0.8°C nonlinearity over –25°C to +85°C. Output impedance remains ≤800 Ω across temperature and supply voltage, ensuring stable loading into standard 12-bit SAR ADCs without external buffering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Temperature Range | –25°C to +85°C - defines usable ambient/sensing environment without calibration derating |
| Accuracy at 25°C | ±2°C maximum - ensures reliable room-temperature reference in thermal management feedback loops |
| Accuracy (–25°C to +85°C) | ±3°C maximum - supports industrial-grade thermal monitoring in power supplies and embedded controllers |
| Output Slope | 10 mV/°C - simplifies firmware scaling: 1°C = 1 LSB for 10-bit ADC with 3.3 V reference |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 10 V - enables direct operation from Li-ion battery (3.0–4.2 V) or 3.3 V/5 V rails |
| Quiescent Current | 125 µA maximum at 25°C - allows continuous monitoring in <10 µA average-power systems using duty cycling |
| Output Impedance | 800 Ω maximum - permits direct connection to ADC inputs with ≤10 kΩ input impedance without gain error |
| Nonlinearity | ±0.8°C maximum - contributes <0.5% of full-scale error in 110°C span, acceptable for closed-loop fan control |
Pinout & Package
LM61BIZ/NOPB is housed in a 3-pin TO-92 (LP) plastic package (4.30 mm × 4.30 mm body), optimized for through-hole mounting and thermal coupling to PCBs or metal surfaces.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| +VS | Positive power supply input | Accepts 2.7–10 V DC; must be bypassed with 0.1 µF capacitor to GND for noise immunity in noisy environments |
| VOUT | Analog temperature output | Provides 600 mV + (10 mV/°C × T); drives ADC directly-no external amplification needed for 12-bit resolution |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for supply and output; die backside thermally bonded to this pin for accurate surface-temperature sensing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Calibrated 10 mV/°C slope | Eliminates need for per-unit gain calibration in production; reduces BOM count vs. uncalibrated sensors |
| 600 mV DC offset | Enables measurement down to –25°C using only positive supply-no level-shifting circuitry required |
| UL recognition | Validates safety compliance for end-equipment certification in consumer and industrial appliances |
| Low 125 µA supply current | Permits always-on thermal monitoring in energy-constrained devices such as portable medical monitors |
| 800 Ω output impedance | Ensures <0.1% gain error when driving typical 10 kΩ-input microcontroller ADCs without buffer op-amp |
| ±2°C accuracy at 25°C | Supports precise thermal compensation in oscillator circuits and voltage reference stabilization |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog-output temperature sensor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM61CIZ/NOPB | Wider –30°C to +100°C range; ±3°C accuracy at 25°C; same TO-92 package and pinout | Required for HVAC or automotive cabin sensing where sub-zero startup or high-temp operation is needed | Select LM61CIZ/NOPB when extended range is mandatory; LM61BIZ/NOPB offers tighter ±2°C spec at 25°C for cost-sensitive room-temp applications |
| TSIC506-100 | Digital (I²C) output; ±0.5°C accuracy; 1.7–3.6 V supply; SOT-23-3 package | Preferred for systems needing digital interface, higher accuracy, or lower supply voltage than 2.7 V | Choose TSIC506-100 when firmware supports I²C and higher precision is critical; LM61BIZ/NOPB avoids firmware overhead and supports simpler ADC-only designs |
Compared with LM61CIZ/NOPB, LM61BIZ/NOPB trades 5°C lower minimum temperature and 15°C lower maximum for improved 25°C accuracy and identical footprint compatibility; versus TSIC506-100, it sacrifices digital convenience and tighter tolerance to retain analog simplicity, ultra-low power, and legacy design compatibility.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LM61BIZ/NOPB?
The LM61BIZ/NOPB is rated for operation from –25°C to +85°C. This range is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under Recommended Operating Conditions and confirmed in the Device Information section of the TI datasheet SNIS121J. Accuracy degrades to ±3°C across this full span, with ±2°C guaranteed only at 25°C.
Does the LM61BIZ/NOPB require external calibration?
No, the LM61BIZ/NOPB is factory-calibrated with a nominal 10 mV/°C slope and 600 mV offset. The datasheet states it provides ±2°C accuracy at 25°C without user calibration. Its linear transfer function VO = (10 mV/°C × T°C) + 600 mV eliminates the need for gain/offset trimming in most applications.
Can the LM61BIZ/NOPB be used with a 3.3-V microcontroller ADC?
Yes, the LM61BIZ/NOPB is fully compatible with 3.3-V systems. Its output spans 350 mV (–25°C) to 1450 mV (85°C), fitting within the 0–3.3 V ADC input range. With 800 Ω max output impedance and 125 µA supply current, it drives typical MCU ADCs directly-no buffer or level shift is required.
What is the thermal response time of the LM61BIZ/NOPB in still air?
In still air, the LM61BIZ/NOPB (TO-92 package) has a thermal time constant of approximately 10 seconds to reach 63% of a step temperature change, as shown in Figure 5 of the TI datasheet. This behavior is consistent with its RθJA of 162.2°C/W and low thermal mass, making it suitable for slow-varying thermal environments like enclosure ambient monitoring.
Is the LM61BIZ/NOPB RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the LM61BIZ/NOPB is RoHS compliant and features Sn (tin) lead finish, as confirmed in the Package Option Addendum of the TI datasheet. The "NOPB" suffix explicitly denotes lead-free packaging, and the part marking "LM61 BIZ" appears on all shipped units meeting JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity and reflow requirements.
