Product details
Overview
LMT85QDCKTQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified analog-output CMOS temperature sensor with ±0.4°C typical accuracy, −8.2 mV/°C average sensor gain, and 1.8-V to 5.5-V supply operation. It delivers linear inverse-voltage output (e.g., 1567 mV at 0°C, 651 mV at 110°C), 5.4-µA quiescent current, and push-pull output capable of ±50-µA drive - enabling direct interface to microcontroller ADCs in automotive infotainment, powertrain, and drone thermal monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the LMT85QDCKTQ1 datasheet, LMT85QDCKTQ1 pinout, LMT85QDCKTQ1 application, or LMT85QDCKTQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its SC70-5 package footprint compatibility with LM20/LM35, guaranteed ±2.7°C max error over −50°C to +150°C without calibration, short-circuit protected output, and low self-heating (<0.014°C at 30°C ambient).
Technical Context
The LMT85QDCKTQ1 uses a forward-biased base-emitter junction as its sensing element, buffered by a rail-to-rail CMOS amplifier with push-pull output stage - delivering monotonic, low-impedance analog voltage output inversely proportional to temperature. Its transfer function follows a slight parabolic shape accurately captured in the 201-point lookup table (−50°C to +150°C), with linear approximation yielding −8.20 mV/°C slope over defined ranges.
Thermal coupling is optimized via direct die attachment to GND pin; junction-to-board thermal resistance is 56°C/W. The device supports power cycling via VDD control (e.g., MCU GPIO), achieving 0.7-ms power-on time and <9-µA max supply current - making it suitable for battery-constrained automotive sensor nodes where self-heating must remain below 0.02°C.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMT85DCKRQ1 | Same silicon, identical electrical specs, SC70-5 package; active production status vs. LMT85QDCKTQ1's obsolete status | Identical use cases; preferred for new designs requiring long-term supply continuity and TI's full warranty support | Select LMT85DCKRQ1 for volume production - avoids obsolete part risks while maintaining pin, footprint, and performance equivalence |
| LMT84QDCKRQ1 | Lower sensor gain (−5.5 mV/°C) and wider supply range (1.5–5.5 V); same AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification and SC70-5 package | Better suited for ultra-low-voltage systems (<1.8 V) or applications requiring reduced output voltage swing across wide temperature spans | Choose LMT84QDCKRQ1 only if supply voltage dips below 1.8 V or if lower gain improves ADC resolution at high temperatures |
Compared with LMT85QDCKTQ1, LMT85DCKRQ1 offers identical performance with assured long-term availability, while LMT84QDCKRQ1 trades gain for extended low-voltage operation - neither is pin-compatible without verifying board-level biasing and ADC scaling.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LMT85QDCKTQ1?
The LMT85QDCKTQ1 operates from −50°C to +150°C, with guaranteed ±2.7°C maximum accuracy across this full range. This specification is validated per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements and does not require system-level calibration. At 25°C, typical accuracy is ±0.4°C. The device maintains functionality up to 150°C junction temperature, making it suitable for under-hood automotive applications and industrial equipment monitoring where extreme thermal conditions occur.
Does the LMT85QDCKTQ1 require external calibration for automotive use?
No, the LMT85QDCKTQ1 does not require external calibration for automotive use. It is AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified and specified to maintain ±2.7°C maximum accuracy over −50°C to +150°C without calibration. This is achieved through factory-trimmed precision circuitry and process compensation. TI's production test data confirms this performance across lot, temperature, and supply voltage variations - enabling direct integration into infotainment, cluster, and powertrain modules without calibration routines or lookup tables.
Can the LMT85QDCKTQ1 drive an ADC input directly?
Yes, the LMT85QDCKTQ1 can drive an ADC input directly due to its push-pull output stage, which sources and sinks ±50 µA. This capability allows it to charge typical SAR ADC sampling capacitors (e.g., 10–20 pF) without external buffering. For loads ≤1100 pF, no series resistor is needed. When interfacing with high-capacitance or noisy ADC inputs, adding a small filter capacitor (e.g., 1–10 nF) between OUT and GND improves noise rejection while preserving step response.
What is the significance of dual VDD and dual GND pins on the LMT85QDCKTQ1?
The dual VDD (Pins 1 & 4) and dual GND (Pins 2 & 5) configuration on the LMT85QDCKTQ1 reduces power path impedance and improves thermal conduction. Pin 2 is directly connected to the die backside, enabling efficient heat transfer from the sensing junction to the PCB ground plane. Using both GND pins lowers thermal resistance (RθJB = 56°C/W) and minimizes self-heating errors. Dual VDD pins reduce voltage drop under transient load, enhancing output stability during ADC sampling events.
Is the LMT85QDCKTQ1 still recommended for new designs?
No - the LMT85QDCKTQ1 is marked obsolete by Texas Instruments. For new designs, TI recommends the active LMT85DCKRQ1, which shares identical electrical specifications, SC70-5 packaging, and AEC-Q100 qualification. While LMT85QDCKTQ1 remains available through legacy channels, LMT85DCKRQ1 ensures long-term supply, full technical support, and access to updated documentation and simulation models - all critical for automotive production programs with multi-year lifecycles.
