Product details
Overview
LMT01LPGM from Texas Instruments is a high-accuracy 2-pin digital output temperature sensor with pulse count interface, operating across –50°C to +150°C with ±0.5°C max error (–20°C to 90°C), 0.0625°C resolution, and 88 kHz output pulse frequency - used in wired probe and industrial thermal monitoring applications.
For engineers reviewing the LMT01LPGM datasheet, LMT01LPGM pinout, LMT01LPGM application, or LMT01LPGM equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world timing behavior, package-specific accuracy curves, GPIO-compatible current-loop interface details, and validated alternative options for temperature sensing in noisy or space-constrained environments.
Technical Context
The LMT01LPGM uses an internal thermal diode and ΣΔ ADC with integrated voltage regulator to convert junction temperature into a proportional pulse count current output. Its floating 2.0 V to 5.5 V (VP–VN) supply enables operation across wide input ranges without external regulation.
Each pulse represents 0.0625°C; total pulse count ranges from 15 (–50°C) to 3228 (150°C) per TO-92/LPG LUT. Conversion + transmission completes every 104 ms max, with 34 µA quiescent current during measurement and 125 µA high-level pulses at 88 kHz nominal frequency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Accuracy (–20°C to 90°C) | ±0.5°C maximum - enables uncalibrated system-level temperature measurement without software compensation |
| Resolution | 0.0625°C per pulse - supports fine-grained thermal control in battery management and HVAC feedback loops |
| Output Interface | Pulse-count current loop (34 µA / 125 µA) - directly interfaces to MCU GPIO or comparator without ADC or level-shifting circuitry |
| Conversion Cycle Time | 104 ms maximum (46 ms conversion + 50 ms data transmission) - defines minimum sampling interval for continuous monitoring |
| Supply Range (VP–VN) | 2.0 V to 5.5 V - supports direct connection to 3.3 V or 5 V rails and enables 2-wire probe designs up to 2 m |
| Package | TO-92/LPG (3.1 mm × 4 mm × 1.5 mm) - half-size of standard TO-92, optimized for compact probe housings and PCB edge mounting |
| EMI Immunity | Integrated suppression - maintains reliable pulse counting in electrically noisy environments like motor drives and power supplies |
Pinout & Package
TO-92/LPG package: 2-pin through-hole device with VP (positive supply terminal) and VN (output/return terminal); body size 3.1 mm × 4 mm × 1.5 mm; wettable flanks for automated optical inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VP | Positive supply terminal | Accepts 2.0–5.5 V bias; internally regulates chip VDD for ADC and logic - connects to system rail or pull-up resistor in 2-wire probe configurations |
| VN | Current-sink output terminal | Delivers 34 µA (low) / 125 µA (high) pulse train; referenced to system ground - forms current loop with external load resistor for voltage translation to GPIO/comparator |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 2-pin architecture | Eliminates need for separate ground or data lines - reduces wiring cost and EMI susceptibility in remote probe assemblies |
| Pulse count linearity | 0.0625°C/pulse with LUT-based interpolation - achieves ±0.5°C accuracy over –20°C to 90°C without factory calibration or host-side linearization |
| Floating supply operation | VP–VN differential range supports 2.0–5.5 V - enables direct integration into existing 3.3 V or 5 V systems without voltage translation |
| EMI-hardened interface | Integrated noise rejection - sustains reliable pulse counting in automotive engine bays, industrial inverters, and switch-mode power supply zones |
| Thermal response (stirred oil) | 0.8 s to 63% of final value - suitable for fast-cycling thermal events in battery pack hot-spot detection and compressor monitoring |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital-output temperature sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX31820 | 1-Wire digital interface (not current-loop); requires pull-up resistor and dedicated 1-Wire bus; ±0.5°C accuracy over –55°C to +125°C | Needs microcontroller 1-Wire stack support; less noise-immune than LMT01LPGM's current-loop in high-EMI settings | Select when bus sharing with other 1-Wire sensors is required and layout permits controlled impedance routing |
| LMT01DQX | Same core functionality and accuracy; WSON-2 (1.7 mm × 2.5 mm) surface-mount package; identical pulse-count transfer function and timing | Designed for PCB-integrated sensing rather than cabled probes; lacks TO-92 mechanical robustness for field-replaceable assemblies | Select when space-constrained PCB mounting is prioritized over field-serviceable probe integration |
Compared with MAX31820 and LMT01DQX, the LMT01LPGM uniquely combines TO-92 mechanical durability, intrinsic EMI resilience via current-loop signaling, and drop-in compatibility with any GPIO-capable MCU - making it optimal for ruggedized 2-wire probe deployments where reliability outweighs bus flexibility or footprint minimization.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LMT01LPGM?
The LMT01LPGM operates across –50°C to +150°C. Its maximum accuracy specification is ±0.5°C over –20°C to 90°C, ±0.625°C from 90°C to 150°C, and ±0.7°C from –50°C to –20°C. Operation beyond 150°C risks permanent damage, and the device is not characterized above that point. All accuracy values are validated per the TO-92/LPG Pulse Count to Temperature LUT in the official datasheet.
How does the LMT01LPGM interface with a microcontroller?
The LMT01LPGM interfaces via a 2-pin current-loop pulse count output: VP connects to the system supply (2.0–5.5 V), and VN sinks a pulsed current (34 µA low / 125 µA high) at ~88 kHz. A series load resistor converts this to a voltage swing (e.g., 340 mV–1.25 V with 10 kΩ), readable by any MCU GPIO configured as a digital input or comparator. No ADC, clock, or protocol stack is required - just a counter gated for 104 ms.
What is the conversion time and update rate of the LMT01LPGM?
The LMT01LPGM completes one full temperature conversion and pulse transmission cycle in ≤104 ms: ≤54 ms for internal ADC conversion and ≤50 ms for data transmission. After power-on, the first valid pulse train appears within 104 ms. With continuous power, the device repeats this cycle automatically - yielding a maximum update rate of approximately 9.6 Hz.
Can the LMT01LPGM be used in 2-wire probe configurations up to 2 meters?
Yes - the LMT01LPGM is explicitly designed for 2-wire probe use up to 2 meters. Its current-loop interface provides inherent noise immunity, and its floating 2.0–5.5 V VP–VN supply accommodates voltage drop across long cables. Layout guidelines recommend minimizing stray capacitance (<100 pF) and using twisted-pair wiring; rise/fall times remain within spec when RC time constants stay below ~2.2 µs.
What package type does the LMT01LPGM use, and how does it differ from LMT01DQX?
The LMT01LPGM uses the TO-92/LPG package (3.1 mm × 4 mm × 1.5 mm), a through-hole variant with wettable flanks for optical inspection. It differs from the LMT01DQX, which uses a 2-pin WSON (1.7 mm × 2.5 mm) surface-mount package. Both share identical electrical specs and pulse-count transfer functions, but LMT01LPGM is optimized for cabled probe assemblies, while LMT01DQX targets space-constrained PCB integration.
