Product details
Overview
TMP235AEDBZRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 0 automotive-qualified analog-output CMOS temperature sensor in a 3-pin SOT-23 package, delivering ±2.5°C accuracy across –40°C to +150°C, 10 mV/°C positive-slope output with 500 mV offset at 0°C, and operates from 2.3 V to 5.5 V supply. It serves as a precision thermal monitor in engine control units and battery management systems where high-temperature stability and low quiescent current are critical.
For engineers reviewing the TMP235AEDBZRQ1 datasheet, TMP235AEDBZRQ1 pinout, TMP235AEDBZRQ1 application, or TMP235AEDBZRQ1 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade specifications, and real-world implementation guidance for powertrain and infotainment thermal sensing.
Technical Context
The TMP235AEDBZRQ1 implements a precision bandgap-based temperature transducer with class-AB output driver architecture, enabling direct interface to SAR ADC sample-and-hold inputs without external buffering. Its piecewise-linear transfer function-defined across three temperature segments (–40°C to +100°C, +100°C to +125°C, +125°C to +150°C)-ensures ±0.5°C typical accuracy from 0°C to +70°C while maintaining ≤±2.5°C max error over full range.
It features short-circuit protected output, 9 µA typical quiescent current, and robust capacitive load drive capability up to 1000 pF. Functional safety documentation support is provided per ISO 26262 requirements, and ESD ratings meet AEC-Q100-002 HBM Class 2 (±2000 V) and AEC-Q100-011 CDM Class C4B (±500 V).
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog-output temperature sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMT87QDCYRQ1 | Higher gain (13.6 mV/°C), tighter ±1.5°C max accuracy over –40°C to +150°C, but narrower supply range (1.8 V to 5.5 V). | Preferred for space-constrained designs requiring higher ADC resolution per °C; less suitable for 2.3 V–2.5 V brownout conditions. | Select LMT87QDCYRQ1 when higher sensitivity and tighter accuracy are prioritized over ultra-low supply voltage operation. |
| LM50QIMRQ1 | Lower gain (10 mV/°C), wider accuracy tolerance (±3°C max over –40°C to +125°C), same SOT-23 package and pinout. | Cost-optimized alternative for non-critical zones like cabin ambient sensing; not rated for 150°C operation. | Choose LM50QIMRQ1 only for Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C) applications where full Grade 0 thermal range is unnecessary. |
Compared with TMP235AEDBZRQ1, LMT87QDCYRQ1 offers superior accuracy and sensitivity but reduced low-voltage margin, while LM50QIMRQ1 trades thermal range and precision for cost-making TMP235AEDBZRQ1 the balanced choice for Grade 0 powertrain and BMS use cases.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature of the TMP235AEDBZRQ1?
The TMP235AEDBZRQ1 is qualified for continuous operation from –40°C to +150°C per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 specification. This rating is validated across all electrical parameters in the datasheet, including accuracy, output linearity, and supply current, making it suitable for under-hood applications such as engine coolant and turbocharger temperature monitoring where peak ambient temperatures exceed 125°C.
Does the TMP235AEDBZRQ1 require external calibration for automotive use?
No, the TMP235AEDBZRQ1 does not require external calibration for standard automotive deployment. Its ±2.5°C maximum accuracy over –40°C to +150°C is factory-trimmed and specified without user calibration. The device includes piecewise-linear characterization data in its transfer tables, enabling software compensation if higher precision is needed-but most ECU implementations use raw ADC readings with lookup tables or simple linear interpolation.
Can the TMP235AEDBZRQ1 drive a 1000 pF capacitive load directly?
Yes, the TMP235AEDBZRQ1 is explicitly characterized to drive up to 1000 pF total capacitive load-including ADC sampling capacitor (CSAMPLE), multiplexer capacitance (CMUX), and any external filter capacitor (CFILTER)-without external buffering. Its class-AB output stage delivers 500 µA maximum current and maintains stability and accuracy under these conditions, as verified in Figure 6-5 and Section 8.2.1 of the datasheet.
Is the TMP235AEDBZRQ1 pin-compatible with other TI temperature sensors?
Yes, the TMP235AEDBZRQ1 in the SOT-23 (DBZ) package is footprint- and pin-compatible with LMT8x-Q1, LM50-Q1, and LM20 automotive temperature sensors. Pin 1 is VDD, Pin 2 is VOUT, and Pin 3 is GND across all these devices-enabling direct replacement in legacy designs without PCB revision, provided the application's accuracy, temperature range, and supply voltage requirements align.
What functional safety documentation is available for the TMP235AEDBZRQ1?
Texas Instruments provides functional safety documentation for the TMP235AEDBZRQ1, including FIT rate calculation (126 failures per billion hours), failure mode effect analysis (FMEA), and diagnostic coverage guidance for ISO 26262 ASIL-B integration. This documentation is accessible via the TI product folder and supports safety case development for automotive ECUs requiring systematic fault mitigation without hardware redundancy.
