Product details
Overview
LM94022BIMGX from Texas Instruments is a precision analog-output CMOS temperature sensor with selectable NTC gain (−5.5 to −13.6 mV/°C), ±1.5°C accuracy from −50°C to +150°C, 1.5–5.5 V supply operation, and SC70-5 package - used for battery-powered thermal monitoring in automotive ECUs and portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the LM94022BIMGX datasheet, LM94022BIMGX pinout, LM94022BIMGX application, or LM94022BIMGX equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, gain-select logic behavior, load regulation limits, short-circuit protected class-AB output, and real-world use cases in low-voltage thermal sensing systems.
Technical Context
The LM94022BIMGX uses stacked base-emitter junctions as its thermal sensing element, with GS1/GS0 logic inputs selecting one of four discrete gain configurations via internal diode stack count. Its class-AB output buffer provides ±50 µA source/sink capability and drives capacitive loads up to 1100 pF without external compensation.
Gain selection directly determines output slope (−5.5, −8.2, −10.9, or −13.6 mV/°C) and minimum operating voltage: −5.5 mV/°C enables full −50°C to +150°C range at 1.5 V, while higher gains require ≥2.4 V supply. Output voltage shift due to rail-to-rail buffer behavior is characterized and included in accuracy specs.
Key Specifications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMT84DBVR | TO-92 package; fixed −10 mV/°C gain; 1.8–5.5 V supply; ±2.7°C accuracy over −50°C to +150°C. | Requires through-hole assembly; lacks gain select flexibility; lower resolution than LM94022BIMGX at −13.6 mV/°C. | Choose when board space permits TO-92 and gain programmability is unnecessary. |

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage required for LM94022BIMGX to operate across its full −50°C to +150°C range?
The LM94022BIMGX requires only 1.5 V when configured for −5.5 mV/°C gain (GS1 = 0, GS0 = 0). At higher gains (e.g., −13.6 mV/°C), minimum supply rises to 3.0 V. This scalability allows system designers to match supply constraints with resolution needs - LM94022BIMGX maintains full-range functionality down to 1.5 V in low-gain mode.
How does the LM94022BIMGX handle capacitive loading on its OUT pin?
The LM94022BIMGX drives capacitive loads ≤1100 pF directly without external compensation - sufficient for most microcontroller ADC sampling capacitors. For loads >1100 pF (e.g., long traces or multiple inputs), a series resistor (e.g., 800 Ω for 1 µF) is recommended per TI's Figure 14. LM94022BIMGX's class-AB output ensures stability without oscillation under these conditions.
Can the gain select pins (GS1/GS0) of LM94022BIMGX be left floating?
No - GS1 and GS0 must be actively driven to a defined logic level (VDD or GND) or controlled by a digital output. Floating inputs may cause undefined gain selection and erratic output voltage. TI explicitly states these pins can be tied directly to rails without pull resistors, making them robust for GPIO-driven configuration or static hardware setup in LM94022BIMGX applications.
Is LM94022BIMGX suitable for automotive applications, and what qualification does it hold?
Yes - LM94022BIMGX is AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified (−40°C to +150°C ambient), manufactured on an automotive-grade flow. It meets stringent reliability, ESD (±2500 V HBM), and thermal performance requirements for under-hood and cabin modules. The LM94022BIMGX datasheet specifies guaranteed operation up to +150°C junction temperature, confirming suitability for automotive thermal sensing.
What is the output voltage shift behavior of LM94022BIMGX, and is it accounted for in accuracy specs?
LM94022BIMGX exhibits a small, monotonic output voltage shift (a few mV) when VDD – VOUT ≈ 1 V, due to rail-to-rail buffer characteristics. This shift occurs over ~5–20°C and is fully characterized. Crucially, all published accuracy specifications (e.g., ±1.5°C) include this shift - no additional derating is needed when using LM94022BIMGX within its recommended operating conditions.
