Product details
Overview
LTC2997IDCB#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (acquired Linear Technology) is a high-accuracy analog-output remote/internal temperature sensor IC. It converts temperature from an external diode-connected NPN/PNP transistor or its internal die sensor into a precise 4mV/K VPTAT voltage output, with ±1°C remote and ±1.5°C internal accuracy over –40°C to +85°C. It features built-in series resistance cancellation, 1.8V reference output, and operates from 2.5V to 5.5V supply - used in CPU thermal monitoring, server environmental control, and embedded system thermal management.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2997IDCB#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC2997IDCB#TRMPBF pinout, LTC2997IDCB#TRMPBF application, or LTC2997IDCB#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include remote diode ideality factor compatibility (η = 1.004), VPTAT update interval (3.5ms), quiescent current (170μA), series resistance cancellation capability (≤100Ω), and DFN-6 (2mm × 3mm) package thermal performance.
Technical Context
The LTC2997IDCB#TRMPBF uses dual-current diode voltage measurement to solve the diode equation and derive absolute temperature independent of process-dependent saturation current (IS). Its resistance extraction circuit applies a third current (I₃) to quantify and cancel series resistance error in the remote sensing path.
It integrates an internal temperature sensor and automatic mode selection: tying D+ to VCC enables internal die measurement; D+ voltage >300mV below VCC triggers remote diode sensing. The VPTAT output is buffered, stable up to 1000pF load, and features 0.25°C RMS noise; VREF provides a 1.8V precision reference with ±1.5mV load regulation error.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Remote Temp Accuracy | ±0.25°C (0°C–100°C), ±1.5°C (–40°C–0°C), ±1.5°C (100°C–125°C) - enables high-fidelity thermal feedback for fan control or throttling |
| VPTAT Gain | 4mV/°K - allows direct Kelvin-to-voltage conversion: TKELVIN = VPTAT / 0.004 |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports operation across industrial and computing rails including 3.3V and 5V systems |
| Quiescent Current | 170μA typical - enables always-on thermal monitoring in battery-backed or low-power embedded applications |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Remote + Internal Dual Sensing | Single IC measures either external diode (e.g., MMBT3904) or internal die - reduces BOM count and layout complexity |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6602ASA+ | 0.5°C remote accuracy (0°C–70°C), 5V-only supply, SO-8 package, no internal sensor or VREF output | Limited to commercial temp range; lacks dual-mode sensing and reference - suitable only for simple remote-only use cases | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs accuracy, temperature range, or feature requirements |
| ADT7411ARMZ | I²C digital output, ±2°C remote accuracy, integrated 10-bit ADC, 3.0V–5.5V supply, MSOP-10 | Requires microcontroller interface and firmware; higher power (350μA); no analog VPTAT output | Select when digital integration, multi-channel monitoring, or higher resolution (0.0625°C) is prioritized over analog simplicity |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2997IDCB#TRMPBF?
The LTC2997IDCB#TRMPBF is rated for an operating ambient temperature range of –40°C to +85°C (Industrial grade). This is confirmed in the "ORDER INFORMATION" section of the datasheet, where "LTC2997I" denotes the Industrial temperature grade. The device maintains ±1°C remote and ±1.5°C internal temperature accuracy across this full range, with thermal performance validated via typical characteristics graphs (e.g., G01–G03).
How does the LTC2997IDCB#TRMPBF handle series resistance in remote sensing lines?
The LTC2997IDCB#TRMPBF implements active series resistance cancellation using a three-current measurement technique. It applies I₁ and I₂ to compute temperature, then uses I₃ to extract series resistance (RSERIES) and generate a cancellation voltage. This eliminates errors up to 100Ω, as verified in Figure G05 and Electrical Characteristics table (TRS parameter). No external compensation components are required.
Can the LTC2997IDCB#TRMPBF measure both internal and remote temperature simultaneously?
No, the LTC2997IDCB#TRMPBF performs sequential single-mode sensing: it measures either the internal die temperature or a remote diode, not both at once. Mode selection is hardware-based - tie D+ to VCC for internal sensing; leave D+ floating or connect to remote diode anode for remote sensing. The block diagram (BD) and "Operation" section confirm a single EXT/INT MUX selects one source for the temperature-to-voltage converter.
What is the purpose of the VREF pin on the LTC2997IDCB#TRMPBF?
The VREF pin on the LTC2997IDCB#TRMPBF provides a precision 1.8V buffered reference voltage with ±3mV tolerance over temperature (LTC2997I grade). It can serve as an ADC reference input, generate fixed temperature thresholds via resistor dividers, or bias analog circuitry - eliminating the need for an external reference IC and simplifying analog thermal control designs.
Which external transistors are recommended for use with the LTC2997IDCB#TRMPBF?
The LTC2997IDCB#TRMPBF is factory-calibrated for η = 1.004, matching standard NPN transistors including MMBT3904 (Fairchild, Diodes Inc., ON Semiconductor, NXP, Infineon) and CMPT3904 (Central Semiconductor). These are explicitly listed in Table 1 of the datasheet and yield <0.5°C inter-device error. Discrete diodes are not recommended due to higher ideality factors.
