Product details
Overview
LM95071CIMFX from Texas Instruments is a 13-bit-plus-sign SPI/MICROWIRE digital temperature sensor in a 5-pin SOT-23 package, delivering ±1°C accuracy from 0°C to 70°C and ±2°C from −40°C to +150°C, with 0.03125°C resolution and 280 µA typical operating current. It serves as a system-level thermal monitor in embedded host interfaces requiring low-power, high-resolution temperature feedback.
For engineers reviewing the LM95071CIMFX datasheet, LM95071CIMFX pinout, LM95071CIMFX application, or LM95071CIMFX equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed alternatives, and supply-ready availability details for thermal management in portable electronics, disk drives, and industrial control systems.
Technical Context
The LM95071CIMFX integrates a ΔΣ ADC and on-die temperature sensing element, supporting SPI and MICROWIRE protocols via a 3-wire serial interface (CS, SC, SI/O). Its two's-complement 14-bit output format encodes temperature with LSB = 0.03125°C, enabling precise directional change detection without calibration.
It operates across 2.4 V to 5.5 V supply voltage and supports two functional modes: continuous conversion (default at power-up) and shutdown (6 µA typical), both accessible via write-only configuration register commands (00h or FFh). The SI/O pin functions bidirectionally with Schmitt-trigger input and TRI-STATE output capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.4 V to 5.5 V - compatible with common 3.3 V and 5 V logic rails; requires 0.1 µF ceramic bypass at VDD. |
| Temperature Range | −40°C to +150°C - suitable for under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and high-temp PCB hotspots. |
| Accuracy | ±1°C (0°C to 70°C), ±2°C (−40°C to +150°C) - enables reliable thermal throttling without system-level calibration. |
| Resolution | 0.03125°C per LSB - detects sub-degree changes critical for fan speed ramping and oscillator compensation. |
| Operating Current | 280 µA typical - allows battery-powered operation for >1 year in periodic-read thermal logging applications. |
| Shutdown Current | 6 µA typical - reduces quiescent load during idle intervals in always-on thermal supervision circuits. |
| Conversion Time | 228 ms max - defines minimum interval between valid reads; impacts polling frequency in closed-loop thermal control. |
Pinout & Package
LM95071CIMFX is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable and embedded systems.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - CS | Chip Select input | Active-low enable signal; must be held high ≥160 ns between transactions to avoid bus contention. |
| 2 - GND | Power and signal ground | Reference return path for analog sensor core and digital I/O; requires low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| 3 - SI/O | Serial Input/Output | Bidirectional data line with Schmitt-trigger input and TRI-STATE output; transmits temperature data on falling SC edge. |
| 4 - SC | Serial clock input | Master-generated clock (max 6.25 MHz); rising edge clocks data in, falling edge clocks data out. |
| 5 - VDD | Positive supply | DC power input; must be decoupled with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar temperature sensor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX31820MUA+ | 1-Wire interface (single-pin), 12-bit resolution (0.0625°C), ±0.5°C accuracy (−10°C to +85°C) | Requires no dedicated SPI lines; better suited for ultra-low-pin-count microcontrollers | Select when board routing constraints prohibit adding CS/SC/SI/O signals and accuracy requirements are relaxed. |
| ADT7410TRZ-REEL7 | I²C interface, 16-bit resolution (0.0078°C), ±0.25°C accuracy (−20°C to +85°C), 200 µA operating current | Higher precision but narrower temp range and incompatible bus protocol | Choose for lab-grade instrumentation where sub-degree accuracy outweighs extended industrial range needs. |
Compared with MAX31820MUA+ and ADT7410TRZ-REEL7, the LM95071CIMFX offers the widest operational temperature span (−40°C to +150°C) and lowest power shutdown mode (6 µA), making it optimal for ruggedized embedded systems where bus compatibility with existing SPI hosts and thermal survivability are primary selection criteria.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum supply voltage for LM95071CIMFX?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for LM95071CIMFX is 6 V. Exceeding this rating may cause permanent damage. The recommended operating range is 2.4 V to 5.5 V, and TI specifies that operation outside this window compromises accuracy and reliability. Always use a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor between VDD and GND to ensure stable operation of LM95071CIMFX under transient load conditions.
Does LM95071CIMFX support I²C communication?
No, LM95071CIMFX does not support I²C. It implements a 3-wire SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible interface (CS, SC, SI/O) only. Attempting I²C protocol will result in communication failure. For I²C-based thermal sensing, consider TI's TMP117 or Analog Devices' ADT7410 instead. LM95071CIMFX is designed for direct interoperability with SPI-capable MCUs like the MSP432P4 series.
How do I read the Manufacturer ID from LM95071CIMFX?
To read the Manufacturer ID from LM95071CIMFX, first issue a shutdown command (write 0xFF) while holding CS low, then perform a 16-bit read - the device returns 0x800F (1000 0000 0000 1111 in binary). This value is fixed and confirms TI origin. The LM95071CIMFX outputs this code exclusively in shutdown mode; no other register access yields the ID. Verify timing per Figure 12 in the datasheet to avoid bus errors during LM95071CIMFX ID retrieval.
What is the minimum time between consecutive temperature reads for LM95071CIMFX?
The minimum time between consecutive valid temperature reads for LM95071CIMFX is 228 ms - the maximum conversion time across its full −40°C to +150°C range. Reading earlier yields stale or erroneous data. After power-on reset, allow ≥228 ms before the first read. LM95071CIMFX does not support asynchronous or interrupt-driven completion notification; polling interval must strictly observe this timing constraint to ensure measurement integrity.
Is LM95071CIMFX RoHS compliant?
Yes, LM95071CIMFX/NOPB.A is RoHS compliant, with Sn (tin) lead finish and MSL Level-1 rating (260°C peak reflow). The "NOPB" suffix denotes lead-free packaging. Non-NOPB variants (e.g., LM95071CIMFX) are not RoHS compliant. Always verify the full orderable part number - LM95071CIMFX/NOPB.A - to ensure compliance for new designs and manufacturing releases involving LM95071CIMFX.
