Product details
Overview
LM75BIM-3 from Texas Instruments is a digital temperature sensor and thermal watchdog IC with integrated 9-bit sigma-delta ADC, I²C interface, and programmable overtemperature shutdown output (O.S.). It delivers ±2°C accuracy from –25°C to 100°C at 3.3 V supply, supports up to eight devices on one bus via A0–A2 address pins, and operates in comparator or interrupt mode - used for real-time thermal monitoring in embedded power supplies and industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the LM75BIM-3 datasheet, LM75BIM-3 pinout, LM75BIM-3 application, or LM75BIM-3 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 3.3 V nominal operation, open-drain O.S. output with fault-queue programmability (1–6 consecutive faults), shutdown current of 4 μA, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with legacy thermal management layouts.
Technical Context
The LM75BIM-3 implements a silicon bandgap temperature sensor feeding a 9-bit sigma-delta ADC with 0.5°C LSB resolution. Its I²C interface operates up to 400 kHz with built-in low-pass filtering on SDA/SCL lines - a distinguishing feature of the LM75B variant that enhances noise immunity in electrically noisy environments like motor drives or power converters.
It features dual operating modes: comparator mode (O.S. toggles between TOS and THYST thresholds) and interrupt mode (O.S. latches until register read or shutdown). The fault queue (1–6 conversions) and programmable O.S. polarity (active-low default) are configured via the 8-bit Configuration Register, while temperature data is read from a dedicated 16-bit Temperature Register in two's complement format.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 3.0 V to 5.5 V; LM75BIM-3 is characterized at +VS = 3.3 Vdc - ensures stable operation in 3.3 V system rails without level-shifting. |
| Temperature Accuracy | ±2°C max from –25°C to 100°C; ±3°C max from –55°C to 125°C - enables reliable thermal trip decisions in industrial ambient ranges. |
| Resolution | 9-bit (0.5°C LSB); full-scale range –55°C to +125°C - provides sufficient granularity for fan control and overtemp warning thresholds. |
| Quiescent Current | 280 μA typical active; 4 μA typical shutdown - allows battery-backed or ultra-low-power thermal supervision in standby systems. |
| I²C Interface Speed | Up to 400 kHz standard/fast-mode; includes internal SDA/SCL low-pass filters - reduces susceptibility to EMI-induced bus glitches in motor-control or SMPS applications. |
| O.S. Output Type | Open-drain, active-low by default; programmable polarity and fault tolerance (1–6 consecutive over-limit readings) - supports direct connection to MCU interrupt pins or discrete logic without external inverters. |
| Address Pins | A0, A1, A2 - enable up to eight LM75BIM-3 units on a single I²C bus, simplifying multi-zone thermal monitoring in server backplanes or PLC I/O modules. |
Pinout & Package
LM75BIM-3 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D package), body size 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and gull-wing leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SDA | I²C bidirectional data line | Open-drain, requires external pull-up; supports multi-master arbitration and clock stretching - connects directly to microcontroller I²C port without buffering. |
| 2 - SCL | I²C clock input | Input-only, edge-triggered; internal low-pass filter improves noise rejection in high-dV/dt environments like DC-DC converter boards. |
| 3 - O.S. | Over-temperature shutdown output | Open-drain, active-low default; sinks up to 4 mA; must be pulled up externally - interfaces natively with GPIO interrupt inputs or optocoupler bases. |
| 4 - GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Single ground pin; requires low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane to minimize thermal measurement error from self-heating. |
| 5 - A2 | I²C slave address bit 2 | Logic-level input (0 = GND, 1 = +VS); sets MSB of 3-bit hardware address - enables unique addressing when multiple LM75BIM-3 sensors share one bus. |
| 6 - A1 | I²C slave address bit 1 | Same function as A2; combined with A0/A2, defines full 7-bit I²C address (1001xxx) - eliminates need for software-configured addresses in fixed-hardware designs. |
| 7 - A0 | I²C slave address bit 0 | LSB of hardware address; all three pins tied low yield base address 0x48 - simplifies initialization in systems with single-sensor deployment. |
| 8 - +VS | Positive supply voltage | 3.0–5.5 V input; requires 100 nF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin - stabilizes internal regulator and ADC reference during conversion bursts. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated sigma-delta ADC + bandgap sensor | Delivers factory-calibrated 9-bit temperature data without external components - eliminates BOM cost and layout area for signal conditioning circuitry. |

FAQ
What is the supply voltage range for the LM75BIM-3, and how does it affect accuracy?
The LM75BIM-3 operates from 3.0 V to 5.5 V, with characterization performed at +VS = 3.3 Vdc per datasheet specifications. Accuracy degrades approximately 1°C/V away from nominal supply; thus, at 3.3 V, the device maintains its rated ±2°C max error from –25°C to 100°C. Deviations beyond ±0.3 V require recalibration or margining in safety-critical thermal designs.
Does the LM75BIM-3 require external components for basic operation?
No - the LM75BIM-3 requires only a 100 nF ceramic bypass capacitor on the +VS pin and external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines. Its integrated sigma-delta ADC, bandgap sensor, and I²C interface eliminate need for external op-amps, references, or ADC drivers, enabling minimal-footprint thermal monitoring in space-constrained PCBs.
How does the fault queue feature work in the LM75BIM-3?
The LM75BIM-3's fault queue (programmable 1–6 consecutive over-limit readings) prevents false O.S. activation from transient noise. Each temperature conversion result is evaluated against TOS; only after the specified number of successive "over" results does O.S. assert. This is especially valuable near switching power supplies or motor drivers where short thermal spikes occur.
Can the LM75BIM-3 operate as a standalone thermostat without a microcontroller?
Yes - the LM75BIM-3 powers up in comparator mode with TOS = 80°C and THYST = 75°C, driving the O.S. output directly. With A0–A2 grounded and SDA/SCL pulled up, it functions autonomously as a hardware thermal cutoff, ideal for fan control or emergency shutdown circuits where firmware may be unavailable or unreliable.
What is the difference between LM75BIM-3 and LM75BIMM-3?
The LM75BIM-3 uses an 8-pin SOIC (D) package (4.90 mm × 3.91 mm), while LM75BIMM-3 uses an 8-pin VSSOP (DGK) package (3.00 mm × 3.00 mm). Both share identical electrical specifications, pinout, and functionality - the distinction is purely mechanical, with LM75BIMM-3 optimized for high-density layouts where board space is constrained.
