Product details
Overview
LMT01ELPGQ1 from Texas Instruments is a high-accuracy, AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified 2-pin digital temperature sensor with pulse-count current-loop output. It delivers ±0.5°C max accuracy from –20°C to 90°C, 0.0625°C resolution per pulse, and operates across 2.15 V to 5.5 V (VP–VN) in automotive battery management and engine control systems.
For engineers reviewing the LMT01ELPGQ1 datasheet, LMT01ELPGQ1 pinout, LMT01ELPGQ1 application, or LMT01ELPGQ1 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world timing behavior, validated package mapping, confirmed pulse-to-temperature transfer function, and direct alternative part comparisons for automotive-grade thermal sensing designs.
Technical Context
The LMT01ELPGQ1 uses an internal thermal diode and ΣΔ ADC with on-chip voltage regulator to convert junction temperature into a proportional pulse count. Its output is a unidirectional current pulse train (34 µA low / 125 µA high) at ~88 kHz, gated for ≤50 ms per conversion cycle.
Each pulse represents 0.0625°C; total pulse count maps linearly to temperature via lookup table (LUT) across –40°C to 150°C. Conversion repeats every 104 ms max with no external clock or I²C/SPI interface required - only a GPIO or comparator input is needed for pulse counting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Accuracy (–20°C to 90°C) | ±0.5°C maximum - enables calibration-free thermal monitoring in battery pack hot spots and engine coolant lines. |
| Pulse resolution | 0.0625°C per pulse - supports fine-grained thermal trending without software interpolation. |
| Supply range (VP–VN) | 2.15 V to 5.5 V - compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V MCU rails; drops to 2.0 V post-conversion for low-voltage wake-up. |
| Conversion interval | ≤104 ms - ensures rapid thermal response for ADAS thermal safety checks and HVAC feedback loops. |
| Output current levels | 34 µA (low), 125 µA (high) - generates clean 340 mV–1.25 V swing across 10 kΩ pull-up for direct GPIO/comparator interfacing. |
| Temperature range | –40°C to +150°C - meets AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements for under-hood and traction battery applications. |
| EMI immunity | Integrated EMI suppression - maintains signal integrity in noisy automotive environments without shielding or filtering. |
Pinout & Package
TO-92 (LPG) package: 4.00 mm × 3.15 mm × 1.5 mm, 2-pin through-hole, wettable flanks, half-size vs traditional TO-92.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VP | Positive supply terminal | Connects to system power or bias resistor; regulates internal VDD for ADC and interface circuitry. |
| VN | Negative output terminal | Sinks pulsed current (34/125 µA); forms current loop with VP - no ground reference required. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 2-pin digital temperature sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM71QIMF/NOPB | 12-bit SPI output, 3-pin SOT-23, ±1.5°C accuracy, requires dedicated SPI interface and external power supply. | Not suitable for floating or 2-wire probe configurations; needs PCB-level SPI routing and decoupling. | Select when SPI bandwidth and multi-sensor daisy-chaining are required; avoid for isolated or wire-probe use cases. |
| STS4030-DIS | I²C interface, 2.0 V to 5.5 V, ±0.2°C accuracy, 1.5 mm × 1.5 mm DFN, requires I²C pull-ups and address configuration. | Requires shared bus arbitration and software stack support; not viable for single-GPIO microcontrollers or high-EMI zones. | Choose for ultra-high accuracy in compact consumer electronics; not recommended for automotive wiring harnesses or legacy MCUs. |
Compared with LM71QIMF/NOPB and STS4030-DIS, the LMT01ELPGQ1 uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification, true 2-pin operation, and pulse-count simplicity - enabling robust, low-cost thermal sensing where interface pins, layout area, or EMI resilience are constrained.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LMT01ELPGQ1?
The LMT01ELPGQ1 is rated for –40°C to +150°C, meeting AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements. Its ±0.5°C maximum accuracy applies from –20°C to 90°C, with ±0.625°C accuracy extended to –40°C and 120°C. Operation beyond 150°C risks permanent damage, and the device is not characterized above that limit. The LMT01ELPGQ1's thermal diode and regulated internal supply enable stable performance across this full automotive range.
How does the LMT01ELPGQ1 interface with a microcontroller?
The LMT01ELPGQ1 interfaces using a 2-pin current-loop pulse-count method: it outputs a train of current pulses (34 µA low / 125 µA high) at ~88 kHz, which a simple pull-up resistor converts to voltage swings (e.g., 340 mV–1.25 V with 10 kΩ). This signal connects directly to a GPIO pin or comparator input; firmware gates a counter for ≤50 ms to capture pulse count, then computes temperature using the documented LUT or linear equation. No I²C, SPI, or ADC is required - the LMT01ELPGQ1 handles all conversion internally.
What package type does the LMT01ELPGQ1 use, and what are its dimensions?
The LMT01ELPGQ1 uses the TO-92 (LPG) package: 4.00 mm × 3.15 mm × 1.5 mm, with 2 leads and wettable flanks for automated optical inspection. It is half the size of a standard TO-92 and optimized for through-hole mounting in space-constrained automotive modules. The LMT01ELPGQ1's LPG variant is distinct from the WSON (DQX) option and shares identical electrical specs but differs in thermal resistance (RθJA = 177°C/W) and mechanical fit.
Does the LMT01ELPGQ1 require external calibration or compensation?
No, the LMT01ELPGQ1 requires no system-level calibration or hardware/software compensation. Its ±0.5°C accuracy from –20°C to 90°C is achieved at wafer test and maintained across voltage (2.15 V–5.5 V) and temperature without user intervention. The LMT01ELPGQ1's internal ΣΔ ADC, thermal diode, and voltage regulator ensure consistent performance - only pulse counting and LUT-based or linear conversion are needed in firmware.
Can the LMT01ELPGQ1 be used in long-cable applications, and what is the maximum supported length?
Yes, the LMT01ELPGQ1 supports wire lengths up to 2 meters due to its current-loop output architecture, which rejects common-mode noise and tolerates cable capacitance. Signal integrity remains robust because the 34 µA/125 µA current pulses generate predictable voltage swings across a pull-up resistor, even with >100 pF stray capacitance. The LMT01ELPGQ1's integrated EMI suppression and floating supply further enhance reliability in long-run automotive and HVAC installations.
