Product details
Overview
LMT01QLPGQ1 from Texas Instruments is a high-accuracy, AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified 2-pin digital output temperature sensor with pulse count interface, delivering ±0.5°C max accuracy from –20°C to 90°C, 0.0625°C resolution, and continuous 100-ms conversion updates. It operates across 2.0 V to 5.5 V (VP–VN), supports up to 2-m wire length, and interfaces directly with MCU GPIO or comparator inputs in automotive battery management and engine control systems.
For engineers reviewing the LMT01QLPGQ1 datasheet, LMT01QLPGQ1 pinout, LMT01QLPGQ1 application, or LMT01QLPGQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world timing behavior, package-specific thermal response, pulse-to-temperature mapping, and selection guidance for noise-immune, low-overhead temperature sensing in safety-critical automotive environments.
Technical Context
The LMT01QLPGQ1 uses an internal thermal diode and sigma-delta ADC with on-chip voltage regulator to convert junction temperature into a proportional pulse count current output. Its 2-pin architecture eliminates ground-referenced signal integrity issues and enables floating operation over VP–VN = 2.0 V to 5.5 V.
Pulse generation follows a deterministic cycle: ≤54 ms power-up/conversion phase at 34 µA, followed by ≤50 ms pulse train (82–94 kHz, 40%–60% duty) encoding temperature as 1–4095 pulses, repeating every ≤104 ms. Accuracy is defined per temperature bin using a validated LUT-not linear interpolation-ensuring ±0.5°C over –20°C to 90°C without system calibration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Accuracy (–20°C to 90°C) | ±0.5°C maximum - guarantees no system calibration needed for HVAC or BMS within this range |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 2-pin digital temperature sensor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM71Q-Q1 | 12-bit SPI output, 3-pin interface, ±1.5°C accuracy, requires dedicated serial bus and MCU firmware stack | Used where higher data rate or multi-sensor daisy-chaining is needed; not suitable for ultra-low-pin-count designs | Select LM71Q-Q1 only if SPI infrastructure exists and ±1.5°C tolerance is acceptable for the target use case |
| STS4031-DIS | I²C interface, 2.0 V to 5.5 V, ±0.1°C accuracy, 2.5 ms conversion, but requires 3 pins and pull-up resistors | Preferred for high-precision consumer-grade modules where board space permits I²C routing and layout complexity | Choose STS4031-DIS when sub-0.2°C accuracy is mandatory and system already implements I²C with noise-controlled routing |
Compared with LM71Q-Q1 and STS4031-DIS, the LMT01QLPGQ1 uniquely delivers automotive-grade reliability, ±0.5°C accuracy, and true 2-pin simplicity-eliminating bus protocol overhead, reducing BOM count, and enabling direct GPIO counting in resource-constrained MCUs without sacrificing thermal fidelity.

FAQ
What is the maximum wire length supported by LMT01QLPGQ1 in a two-wire probe configuration?
LMT01QLPGQ1 supports up to 2 meters of wire length in two-wire temperature probe implementations. This capability is enabled by its current-loop pulse output architecture, which maintains signal integrity against capacitive loading and EMI-verified under automotive-grade noise conditions. The device's 34 µA/125 µA current levels ensure sufficient SNR even with typical 22–26 AWG twisted-pair cabling.
Does LMT01QLPGQ1 require external calibration to achieve ±0.5°C accuracy?
No, LMT01QLPGQ1 achieves ±0.5°C maximum accuracy from –20°C to 90°C without system-level calibration. This specification is guaranteed by TI's factory characterization using the TO-92/LPG Pulse Count to Temperature LUT (Section 6.6), and applies across the full recommended operating range of VP–VN = 2.15 V to 5.0 V. No host MCU compensation or lookup table correction is required.
How does LMT01QLPGQ1 handle electromagnetic interference in automotive environments?
LMT01QLPGQ1 incorporates integrated EMI suppression through its 2-pin current-loop interface, eliminating ground-referenced voltage signaling and common-mode rejection vulnerabilities. Its internal voltage regulator stabilizes ADC operation across supply ripple, and the pulse-count output is inherently immune to induced noise-only pulse count (not edge timing) matters for temperature decoding. AEC-Q100 qualification confirms performance under ISO 11452-4 bulk current injection testing.
What is the thermal response time of LMT01QLPGQ1 in still air?
The LMT01QLPGQ1 in TO-92/LPG package has a still-air thermal response time of 28 seconds to reach 63% of final temperature (τ). This value is measured per JEDEC JESD51-1 with the device mounted on a standard test board and reflects realistic thermal inertia in enclosed automotive enclosures or plastic housings with limited convection.
Can LMT01QLPGQ1 operate below 2.15 V supply voltage?
Yes-LMT01QLPGQ1 maintains functional operation down to 2.0 V VP–VN after initial conversion completes. During the ≤54 ms power-up/conversion phase, however, VP–VN must remain ≥2.15 V to guarantee valid pulse train generation. Below 2.15 V during startup, the device may output incomplete or invalid pulse counts; TI specifies 2.15 V as the minimum for reliable first-read accuracy.
