Product details
Overview
LMT86DCKT from Texas Instruments is a precision analog CMOS temperature sensor in SC70-5 (DCK) package, delivering ±0.4°C typical accuracy across –50°C to 150°C, –10.9 mV/°C output slope, 2.2 V minimum supply voltage, and 5.4 µA quiescent current-enabling ultra-low-power thermal monitoring in battery-powered drones and automotive infotainment systems.
For engineers reviewing the LMT86DCKT datasheet, LMT86DCKT pinout, LMT86DCKT application, or LMT86DCKT equivalent, key selection criteria include its push-pull output drive (±50 µA), fast power-on time (0.7 ms), short-circuit protected analog output, and footprint compatibility with LM35/LM20 for drop-in replacement in legacy thermal sensing designs.
Technical Context
The LMT86DCKT implements a forward-biased base-emitter junction as its sensing element, buffered by a rail-to-rail CMOS amplifier with push-pull output stage-ensuring low-impedance sourcing and sinking capability without external components. Its transfer function follows a well-characterized parabolic model (–10.9 mV/°C average slope, ±0.4°C typical error), validated over full –50°C to 150°C range.
Thermal response is optimized via direct die-to-GND thermal path: the backside of the die connects electrically and thermally to Pin 1 (GND) in SC70, enabling accurate board-level temperature measurement. Self-heating is minimized (<0.015°C at 5 V, 5.4 µA) due to ultra-low power dissipation and specified RθJA = 275°C/W for DCK package.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
SC70-5 (DCK) package: 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm surface-mount footprint, 0.65 mm pitch, 0.9 mm max height. Thermal performance optimized with GND-connected die backside for minimal thermal resistance to PCB ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (GND) | Ground reference and thermal sink | Direct die backside connection - primary thermal conduction path to PCB; must be routed to solid ground plane |

| 3 (VDD) | Positive supply input | Accepts 2.2–5.5 V; powers internal bias and amplifier; bypass capacitor recommended near pin for noise immunity |
| 4 (GND) | Ground reference and thermal sink | Second GND terminal - improves thermal coupling and reduces ground loop impedance; ties to same net as Pin 1 |
| 5 (VDD) | Positive supply input | Dual VDD pins reduce supply trace IR drop and improve PSRR; both must be connected to same clean supply rail |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog temperature sensor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMT85DCKT | Average gain –8.2 mV/°C; 1.8 V min supply; ±0.7°C typical accuracy (0°C–40°C) | Lower sensitivity requires higher ADC resolution for same thermal resolution; better suited for 1.8 V systems | Select LMT85DCKT only if supply is constrained to 1.8–2.1 V; otherwise LMT86DCKT delivers superior accuracy and slope for 2.2+ V rails. |
| LMT87DCKT | Average gain –13.6 mV/°C; 2.7 V min supply; ±0.5°C typical accuracy (–20°C–100°C) | Higher gain improves ADC LSB resolution but excludes sub-2.7 V operation; narrower guaranteed accuracy band | Choose LMT87DCKT when maximizing thermal resolution at 3.3 V+ and ambient stays above –20°C; avoid for wide-range or low-voltage use. |
Compared with LMT85DCKT and LMT87DCKT, the LMT86DCKT uniquely balances 2.2 V operation, –10.9 mV/°C slope, and ±0.4°C accuracy across –50°C to 150°C-making it the optimal choice for automotive, industrial, and battery-constrained applications requiring broad temperature coverage and high fidelity.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum supply voltage for the LMT86DCKT?
The LMT86DCKT has an absolute maximum supply voltage of 6 V, per its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation above 5.5 V (recommended maximum) risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term performance, maintain VDD between 2.2 V and 5.5 V, with proper decoupling capacitance placed close to Pins 3 and 5 (VDD) and Pins 1 and 4 (GND).
Does the LMT86DCKT require external calibration for ±0.4°C accuracy?
No, the LMT86DCKT achieves ±0.4°C typical accuracy from 40°C to 150°C without external calibration-the specification is factory-tested and trimmed. The device's parabolic transfer function is fully characterized in Table 7-1 of the datasheet, and accuracy limits already include line regulation and output voltage shift effects across the operating range.
Can the LMT86DCKT drive a 1000 pF capacitive load directly?
Yes, the LMT86DCKT is specified to drive up to 1100 pF capacitive load without oscillation or settling delay-covering typical microcontroller ADC input capacitances. No series resistor or external filter is required for loads ≤1100 pF, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count while maintaining 0.7 ms power-on response.
How does the dual VDD and dual GND pin configuration improve performance in the LMT86DCKT?
The LMT86DCKT's dual VDD (Pins 3 and 5) and dual GND (Pins 1 and 4) pins reduce supply path impedance and enhance thermal coupling to the PCB ground plane. This lowers power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) sensitivity and minimizes self-heating error by improving heat dissipation-critical for achieving ±0.4°C accuracy in compact layouts.
Is the LMT86DCKT pin-compatible with the LM35DT/NOPB in SC70-5?
No-LM35DT/NOPB uses TO-92 or SOIC-8 packages and is not offered in SC70-5. However, the LMT86DCKT is explicitly designed as a footprint-compatible upgrade to LM35 and LM20 in surface-mount form: its SC70-5 pinout (GND-OUT-VDD-GND-VDD) maps functionally to LM35's 3-pin TO-92 (VCC-OUT-GND) when adapted via simple breakout, enabling mechanical retrofit in space-constrained designs.
