Product details
Overview
SM72480SDX-120/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a factory-preset, dual-output temperature monitoring IC featuring a 120°C overtemperature switch with 4.5–5.5°C hysteresis and a linear analog VTEMP sensor output (−10.3 mV/°C). It operates from 1.6V to 5.5V, draws only 8 μA typical supply current, and delivers ±2.2°C trip accuracy and ±2.3°C VTEMP accuracy across −50°C to +150°C - deployed in photovoltaic power optimizers for thermal runaway protection.
For engineers reviewing the SM72480SDX-120/NOPB datasheet, SM72480SDX-120/NOPB pinout, SM72480SDX-120/NOPB application, or SM72480SDX-120/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its WSON-6 package thermal pad integration, push-pull + open-drain dual digital outputs, TRIP TEST pin for in-situ verification, and VTEMP short-circuit protection enabling direct ADC interfacing without external buffering.
Technical Context
The SM72480SDX-120/NOPB integrates a precision bandgap-based temperature sensor core with two independent output paths: one digital path drives both OVERTEMP (push-pull, active-high) and OVERTEMP (open-drain, active-low) simultaneously upon die temperature exceeding 120°C; the other analog path delivers a monotonic, NTC-derived VTEMP voltage referenced to GND with rail-to-rail drive capability (±100 μA).
Its TRIP TEST input enables functional validation at any temperature by forcing digital outputs high and routing VTRIP to VTEMP - eliminating need for thermal chamber cycling. Internal hysteresis prevents chatter near trip point, while supply-noise rejection (>82 dB) and 1100 pF capacitive load tolerance ensure robust operation in noisy industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Temperature Trip Point | Factory-set at 120°C ±125°C; triggers thermal shutdown before semiconductor damage in PV optimizer MOSFETs. |
| Hysteresis | 4.5°C to 5.5°C; ensures stable switching without oscillation during slow thermal transients. |
| VTEMP Output Slope | −10.3 mV/°C; enables direct linear temperature calculation using VTEMP = 2119 − 10.36 × TDIE (mV). |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.6V to 5.5V; supports low-voltage 1.8V system designs and legacy 3.3V/5V rails without level-shifting. |
| Quiescent Current | 8 μA typical; extends battery life in wireless transceiver thermal monitors and enables always-on sensing. |
| VTEMP Accuracy | ±2.3°C over −50°C to +150°C; eliminates calibration overhead in automotive under-hood applications. |
| Digital Output Types | Push-pull (OVERTEMP) + open-drain (OVERTEMP); provides interface flexibility with MCU GPIOs or logic families. |
Pinout & Package
SM72480SDX-120/NOPB uses a 2.2 mm × 2.5 mm WSON-6 package (TI package code SDB06A) with exposed die attach pad (DAP) for enhanced thermal conduction to PCB ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - TRIP TEST | Digital input | Active-high test enable: forces digital outputs asserted and routes VTRIP to VTEMP for in-circuit verification. |
| 2 - VDD | Positive supply | 1.6V–5.5V input; powers internal sensor, comparators, and output drivers. |
| 3 - OVERTEMP | Digital output | Active-low, open-drain; requires external pull-up; asserts when TDIE ≥ 120°C or TRIP TEST = 1. |
| 4 - GND | Power ground | Reference node for all analog/digital circuitry; DAP must be soldered to PCB thermal pad tied to this pin. |
| 5 - OVERTEMP | Digital output | Active-high, push-pull; asserts when TDIE ≥ 120°C or TRIP TEST = 1; no external components required. |
| 6 - VTEMP | Analog output | Linear NTC voltage (−10.3 mV/°C); sinks/sources ±100 μA; short-circuit protected; drives ADC inputs directly. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Latching overtemperature detection | Once triggered, outputs remain asserted until temperature falls below (120°C − hysteresis), preventing intermittent faults in safety-critical systems. |
| Dual digital output topology | Simultaneous push-pull and open-drain outputs eliminate need for external inverters or level shifters in mixed-voltage systems. |
| VTEMP short-circuit protection | Enables robust interfacing with sampling ADCs without risk of latch-up or output damage during transient overload. |
| TRIP TEST pin for in-situ validation | Allows full functional test of thermal protection circuitry at room temperature - no thermal cycling required during production test. |
| High supply-noise rejection | 82 dB attenuation of VDD noise on VTEMP output ensures accurate readings in electrically noisy PV string environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar temperature switch and sensor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM50 | Single-output, 130°C fixed trip, no analog VTEMP output; 10 μA supply current; SOIC-8 package. | Lacks dual digital outputs and precision analog sensor - suitable only for basic overtemperature cutoff, not closed-loop thermal management. | Select LM50 only if application requires simple shutdown without temperature telemetry or output flexibility. |
| MAX6505 | 125°C trip, open-drain only output, no TRIP TEST pin, ±3°C trip accuracy, SOT23-5 package. | No push-pull output or VTEMP sensor; lower accuracy limits use in precision thermal regulation; smaller footprint but no thermal pad. | Choose MAX6505 for space-constrained cost-sensitive designs where only basic overtemperature flag is needed. |

FAQ
What is the exact factory-set temperature trip point for SM72480SDX-120/NOPB?
The SM72480SDX-120/NOPB has a factory-preset temperature trip point of 120°C, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.2°C across −50°C to +150°C operating range. This value is laser-trimmed during manufacturing and cannot be adjusted externally. The '120' in the part number explicitly denotes this fixed trip point, distinguishing it from variants like SM72480SDX-105/NOPB (105°C) or SM72480SDX-125/NOPB (125°C).
How does the TRIP TEST pin function on SM72480SDX-120/NOPB?
Driving the TRIP TEST pin high (≥VDD −0.5V) forces both OVERTEMP and OVERTEMP digital outputs to assert regardless of actual die temperature, while routing the VTRIP voltage (corresponding to 120°C) to the VTEMP pin. This enables full functional verification of the thermal protection circuit during production test or field diagnostics without requiring thermal chamber exposure - a critical capability for SM72480SDX-120/NOPB deployment in inaccessible PV optimizer modules.
Can SM72480SDX-120/NOPB drive an ADC input directly without external buffering?
Yes, SM72480SDX-120/NOPB can drive most SAR and delta-sigma ADC inputs directly. Its VTEMP output provides ±100 μA drive strength and is short-circuit protected, enabling reliable charging of typical ADC sample-and-hold capacitors (≤1100 pF). The datasheet confirms stable operation up to 1100 pF capacitive load - eliminating need for op-amp buffers in most implementations and reducing BOM cost and board area for SM72480SDX-120/NOPB-based designs.
What is the purpose of the DAP (Die Attach Pad) on SM72480SDX-120/NOPB?
The DAP on SM72480SDX-120/NOPB is an exposed thermal pad on the underside of the WSON-6 package that must be soldered to a PCB thermal pad connected to GND. This provides the primary thermal conduction path from die to PCB, reducing θJA to 152°C/W and ensuring accurate die temperature measurement. Leaving the DAP unconnected degrades thermal response and introduces measurement error - a mandatory design requirement for proper SM72480SDX-120/NOPB operation in thermal protection applications.
Does SM72480SDX-120/NOPB require external pull-up resistors on its digital outputs?
Only the OVERTEMP (pin 3) open-drain output requires an external pull-up resistor to VDD; typical value is 100 kΩ for 3.3V systems. The OVERTEMP (pin 5) push-pull output does not require external components. Pull-up resistor value must be calculated based on VOL (0.2V max), VDD(max), and sink current (385 μA max) per TI's application guidance - incorrect sizing risks false triggering or slow rise times in SM72480SDX-120/NOPB systems.
