Product details
Overview
LTC2997IDCB#TRPBF from Analog Devices (acquired Linear Technology) is a high-accuracy analog-output remote/internal temperature sensor IC. It converts external diode or on-die temperature into a precise 4mV/K VPTAT voltage output, features built-in series resistance cancellation, delivers ±1°C remote and ±1.5°C internal accuracy over –40°C to +85°C, and operates from 2.5V to 5.5V supply - used in thermal monitoring of CPUs, FPGAs, and power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2997IDCB#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2997IDCB#TRPBF pinout, LTC2997IDCB#TRPBF application, or LTC2997IDCB#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.5ms VPTAT update interval, 1.8V reference output, 170μA quiescent current, 6-pin DFN package, and support for NPN/PPN transistors (e.g., MMBT3904) as remote sensors.
Technical Context
The LTC2997IDCB#TRPBF implements dual-mode sensing via an internal temperature diode or external diode-connected transistor, using multi-current measurement and series resistance extraction (I₁/I₂/I₃) to cancel lead resistance errors up to 100Ω. Its VPTAT output is buffered and calibrated for η = 1.004 ideality factor.
It integrates a precision 1.8V reference (±3mV initial accuracy, ±1.5mV load regulation), supports single-wire remote sensing (D– tied to GND), and includes UVLO at 1.9V typical with VPTAT pulled low during undervoltage. Thermal step response shows <5s die-to-air settling under standard PCB conditions.
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 in server CPU throttling. |
| VPTAT Gain | 4mV/K - allows direct Kelvin-to-voltage conversion: TKELVIN = VPTAT / 0.004, simplifying analog temperature scaling. |
| Supply Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with 3.3V and 5V system rails without level-shifting. |
| Quiescent Current | 170μA typical - supports always-on thermal monitoring in battery-backed or low-power embedded systems. |
| Update Interval | 3.5ms typical - provides rapid thermal response for dynamic thermal management loops. |
| Reference Output | 1.8V ±3mV (LTC2997I grade) - usable as ADC reference or threshold generation source for comparator-based thermal alarms. |
| Series Resistance Cancellation | Validated to ≤100Ω - eliminates calibration drift caused by PCB trace resistance between IC and remote sensor. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-lead (2mm × 3mm) plastic DFN (DCB) with optional exposed pad grounded for improved thermal coupling. θJA = 64°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| D+ | Diode sense current source | Sources sensing current to remote diode anode; tie to VCC to enable internal temperature mode. |
| D– | Diode sense current sink | Sinks sensing current from remote diode cathode; tie to GND for single-wire remote sensing. |
| GND | Device ground reference | Return path for all currents; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| VCC | Power supply input | 2.5V–5.5V operation; requires ≥0.1μF bypass capacitor to GND for noise immunity. |
| VPTAT | Proportional-to-absolute-temperature output | 4mV/K analog voltage; drives ≤±200μA load; stable with ≤1000pF capacitance. |
| VREF | 1.8V precision reference output | Stable 1.8V reference; same drive capability and capacitive limit as VPTAT; open if unused. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Built-in series resistance cancellation | Removes error from up to 100Ω trace resistance without software compensation or calibration. |
| Internal/external sensor auto-selection | D+ voltage vs VCC threshold automatically selects internal die or external diode mode - no configuration pins required. |
| Low-noise VPTAT output | 0.25°C RMS noise (1mV RMS) - enables sub-degree resolution with minimal external filtering. |
| Micropower operation | 170μA ICC at 3.3V - extends runtime in energy-constrained thermal monitors and IoT edge nodes. |
| Robust remote sensing interface | Tolerates ≤±200mV DC ground offset and rejects AC interference at odd multiples of 6kHz - suitable for long-cable deployments. |
Applications
| CPU Thermal Monitoring | FPGA Die Temperature Control |
|---|---|

|
Use Scenario: Ambient and component-level temperature profiling across 1U/2U rack-mounted servers with distributed sensor placement. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-quiescent remote sensor deployed at multiple board locations (VRM, memory, ASIC) with shared VCC/GND routing. Use Value: 170μA supply current and 6-pin DFN footprint minimize board area and power overhead per sensing node. |
Use Scenario: Direct analog PWM generation for thermal actuation - e.g., heater control in industrial enclosures or fan speed in network switches. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: VPTAT and VREF serve as inputs to op-amp circuits (e.g., LTC6079) implementing proportional-integral control or fixed-threshold switching.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6602ESA+ | Single remote channel, ±2°C remote accuracy, 2.7V–5.5V supply, no internal sensor or VREF output. | Lacks internal temperature sensing and reference voltage - requires external reference for threshold comparison. | Choose when only remote sensing is needed and higher accuracy is not required; lower cost but reduced feature set. |
| ADT7411ARMZ | I²C digital output, ±1°C remote accuracy, integrated 10-bit ADC, 2.7V–5.5V supply, no analog VPTAT output. | Requires MCU interface and firmware; no direct analog control loop compatibility. | Prefer when digital BOM consolidation, multi-channel monitoring, or programmable thresholds are prioritized over analog simplicity. |
Compared with MAX6602ESA+ and ADT7411ARMZ, the LTC2997IDCB#TRPBF uniquely combines analog VPTAT output, internal temperature sensing, and a buffered 1.8V reference in one micropower DFN - enabling zero-MCU thermal control loops with minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2997IDCB#TRPBF?
The LTC2997IDCB#TRPBF is rated for –40°C to +85°C ambient operation (Industrial grade). This range is confirmed in the "ORDER INFORMATION" table and supported by electrical characteristics tested across that span, including ±1.5°C internal temperature error and ±1°C remote accuracy within 0°C–100°C.
How does the LTC2997IDCB#TRPBF achieve series resistance cancellation?
The LTC2997IDCB#TRPBF uses a three-current measurement method (I₁, I₂, I₃) to extract series resistance (RS) in the D+/D– path. A dedicated resistance extraction circuit generates VCANCEL equal to RS × I₃, which is subtracted from the raw diode voltage - eliminating error terms before VPTAT conversion. This is validated to ≤100Ω in typical performance graphs.
Can the LTC2997IDCB#TRPBF measure both internal and remote temperature simultaneously?
No - the LTC2997IDCB#TRPBF measures either internal die temperature or remote diode temperature at any given time. Mode selection is automatic: if D+ voltage is > VCC – 300mV, it uses the internal sensor; otherwise, it sources current into the external diode. Simultaneous dual-sensing requires devices like the LTC2990.
What is the purpose of the 1.8V VREF output on the LTC2997IDCB#TRPBF?
The 1.8V VREF output on the LTC2997IDCB#TRPBF serves two primary functions: (1) as a stable reference for external ADCs measuring VPTAT, and (2) as a precision voltage source for generating temperature threshold voltages (e.g., via resistor dividers) to feed comparators in analog thermal alarm circuits - eliminating need for separate reference ICs.
Which external transistors are recommended for use with the LTC2997IDCB#TRPBF?
The LTC2997IDCB#TRPBF is factory-calibrated for η = 1.004 and explicitly recommends MMBT3904 (NPN) from Fairchild, Diodes Inc., ON Semiconductor, NXP, Infineon, and Rohm - all in SOT-23 or SC-70 packages. These exhibit <0.5°C inter-manufacturer variation due to process consistency, making them drop-in replacements for remote sensing.
