Product details
Overview
TMP20AIDCKT from Texas Instruments is a precision analog-output CMOS temperature sensor in SC70-5 package, delivering ±2.5°C accuracy across –55°C to +130°C, 4 µA max quiescent current, and –11.77 mV/°C output slope with 1.8639 V at 0°C - used for thermal monitoring in battery-powered portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the TMP20AIDCKT datasheet, TMP20AIDCKT pinout, TMP20AIDCKT application, or TMP20AIDCKT equivalent, key selection criteria include its low-power analog output architecture, SC70 pin compatibility with LM20, shutdown mode below 0.5 V, and thermal self-heating <0.01°C - critical for high-accuracy embedded sensing without ADC calibration overhead.
Technical Context
The TMP20AIDCKT implements a parabolic transfer function VO = (–3.88×10⁻⁶×T²) + (–1.15×10⁻²×T) + 1.8639 V over –55°C to +130°C, with linear approximations available per temperature range. Its analog output is inversely proportional to temperature and requires no digital interface or configuration.
It operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V supply, drawing ≤4 µA at 25°C and ≤6 µA across full temperature range, entering <20 nA shutdown when V+ < 0.5 V. Output impedance is ≤10 Ω (sinking) and <1 Ω (sourcing), supporting direct connection to MCU ADC inputs with minimal buffering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Accuracy | ±2.5°C from –55°C to +130°C - enables single-point calibration in industrial and consumer thermal management systems |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - supports direct connection to Li-ion battery rails and low-voltage microcontrollers |
| Quiescent Current | 4 µA maximum at 25°C - limits self-heating to <0.01°C, preserving measurement integrity in thermally isolated PCB layouts |
| Output Slope | –11.77 mV/°C typical - provides predictable voltage delta per degree for analog front-end scaling |
| Output Voltage @ 0°C | 1.8639 V typical - establishes known reference point for linearization or offset compensation |
| Shutdown Threshold | V+ < 0.5 V - reduces current to <20 nA for ultra-low-power sleep modes in portable devices |
| Package | SC70-5 (DCK) - 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm footprint ideal for space-constrained mobile and wearable designs |
Pinout & Package
Package: SC70-5 (DCK), 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm body size, lead-free, RoHS-compliant, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No internal connection | Must be grounded or left floating; no electrical function - layout flexibility for routing or thermal pad anchoring |
| 2 (NC/GND) | Thermal & electrical ground | Die substrate tie; must connect to GND plane for optimal thermal response and noise immunity - not usable as signal pin |
| 3 (VOUT) | Analog output | High-impedance voltage source (≤10 Ω sinking, <1 Ω sourcing); drives up to 1 nF load directly into MCU ADC |
| 4 (V+) | Positive supply | Accepts 1.8–5.5 V; bypassing with 100-nF capacitor recommended near pin for noise rejection |
| 5 (GND) | Power ground | Reference return path for VOUT and V+; must be low-impedance connection to minimize ground bounce errors |

Applications
| Smartphone Thermal Throttling | USB-C Power Delivery Monitoring |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Real-time die temperature tracking in smartphone AP/SoC to trigger dynamic frequency scaling before thermal throttling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Analog-output temperature sensor providing continuous voltage feedback to PMIC or baseband processor ADC. Use Value: ±2.5°C accuracy ensures reliable thermal margin control within 5°C of silicon junction limit, preventing performance collapse. |
Use Scenario: Monitoring cable and connector temperature during 100W USB-C PD charging to prevent overheating and enforce safety cutoffs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power analog sensor placed near USB-C receptacle, interfaced to PD controller's ADC channel. Use Value: 4 µA quiescent current avoids loading the 5-V VCONN rail; SC70 size fits tight connector-side PCB real estate. |
| Lithium-Ion Battery Pack Protection | White Goods Compressor Control |
Use Scenario: Cell-level temperature sensing inside sealed 18650/21700 battery modules to detect thermal runaway precursors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone analog sensor feeding voltage to battery monitor IC (e.g., BQ769x0) for overtemperature flag generation. Use Value: –55°C to +130°C operating range covers full battery abuse conditions; shutdown mode isolates sensor during pack deep discharge. |
Use Scenario: Monitoring compressor motor winding temperature in inverter-driven refrigerators to optimize cooling cycles and prevent insulation failure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Embedded analog sensor mounted on compressor housing, connected to main controller ADC for closed-loop thermal regulation. Use Value: 0.01°C self-heating ensures true ambient reading; 1.8 V minimum supply allows operation during brownout events. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM20CIM5X/NOPB | Same SC70-5 package, ±3.0°C accuracy (–25°C to +125°C), higher 12 µA IQ | Limited to narrower temp range; less suitable for automotive under-hood use | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs accuracy and power requirements |
| TS331IYLT | SC70-5, comparator-based output (open-drain), no analog voltage output | Requires external reference/resistor network to emulate analog behavior; not drop-in | Choose only if threshold detection suffices and analog linearity is unnecessary |
Compared with LM20CIM5X/NOPB and TS331IYLT, TMP20AIDCKT delivers superior accuracy over wider temperature range and lowest quiescent current - making it optimal for precision analog-sensing applications where calibration effort and battery life are constrained.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the TMP20AIDCKT?
The TMP20AIDCKT operates from –55°C to +130°C with supply voltages of 2.7 V to 5.5 V. At 1.8 V supply, operation is guaranteed from +15°C to +130°C. This extended range supports deployment in automotive engine bays, industrial motor controls, and outdoor electronics where ambient extremes occur.
Does the TMP20AIDCKT require external calibration for accurate readings?
No, the TMP20AIDCKT is factory-trimmed to ±2.5°C accuracy across –55°C to +130°C and does not require external calibration. Its parabolic transfer function is characterized and documented, enabling software-based linearization if higher resolution is needed - but single-point offset correction is sufficient for most applications using the TMP20AIDCKT.
Can the TMP20AIDCKT drive an MCU ADC input directly without a buffer amplifier?
Yes, the TMP20AIDCKT can drive most MCU ADC inputs directly. Its output impedance is <1 Ω when sourcing and ≤10 Ω when sinking, and it supports up to 1 nF capacitive load. For high-frequency sampling or noisy environments, a small series resistor (e.g., 150 Ω) and local decoupling capacitor are recommended - but no active buffer is required for standard use of the TMP20AIDCKT.
How does the TMP20AIDCKT enter shutdown mode, and what is its shutdown current?
The TMP20AIDCKT enters shutdown mode automatically when V+ falls below 0.5 V, reducing supply current to less than 20 nA (typical). This feature enables ultra-low-power sleep states in battery-operated systems. The device resumes normal operation immediately upon V+ rising above 0.5 V - no reset or initialization sequence is needed for the TMP20AIDCKT.
Is the TMP20AIDCKT pin-compatible with the LM20, and what does that mean for design reuse?
Yes, the TMP20AIDCKT in SC70-5 (DCK) package is pin-compatible with the LM20. Pin 1 (NC), Pin 2 (NC/GND), Pin 3 (VOUT), Pin 4 (V+), and Pin 5 (GND) match identically. This allows direct substitution in existing LM20 layouts without PCB changes - delivering improved accuracy (±2.5°C vs ±3.0°C) and lower power (4 µA vs 12 µA) while retaining mechanical and electrical fit for the TMP20AIDCKT.
