Product details
Overview
TMP235AQDBZTQ1 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 max accuracy over –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 high-reliability powertrain and infotainment subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the TMP235AQDBZTQ1 datasheet, TMP235AQDBZTQ1 pinout, TMP235AQDBZTQ1 application, or TMP235AQDBZTQ1 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of specifications, validated pin functions, automotive-grade application mappings, and confirmed alternative options - all grounded in TI's SBOS939D production data sheet.
Technical Context
The TMP235AQDBZTQ1 implements a precision bandgap-based analog temperature sensing core with class-AB output driver capable of sourcing up to 500 µA and driving capacitive loads up to 1000 pF directly into ADC sample-and-hold inputs. Its piecewise-linear transfer function (three segments: –40°C to 100°C, 100°C to 125°C, 125°C to 150°C) enables ±0.5°C typical accuracy from 0°C to 70°C while maintaining ±2.5°C max error across full grade-0 range.
Functional safety documentation support is provided for ISO 26262 ASIL-B system integration. The device features short-circuit protected output, 9 µA typical quiescent current, and 800 µs power-on time - enabling low-power cycling architectures in battery-sensitive automotive modules such as EPS and shifter systems.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMT87QDBVRQ1 | Higher gain (13.6 mV/°C), ±1.5°C max accuracy over –40°C to +150°C, 3.3 V min supply, 5.5 V max. | Optimized for higher-resolution thermal feedback in compact spaces; less suitable for 2.3 V–3.0 V low-voltage domains. | Select when higher sensitivity and tighter accuracy are required, and supply voltage ≥3.3 V is guaranteed. |
| LM50QIMRQ1 | Lower gain (10 mV/°C), ±3°C max accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, 2.7 V–5.5 V supply, no functional safety documentation. | Cost-optimized for non-safety-critical cabin modules; lacks AEC-Q100 Grade 0 rating and ASIL support. | Select for cost-sensitive, non-safety applications where full Grade 0 range is not needed and functional safety is not mandated. |
Compared with TMP235AQDBZTQ1, LMT87QDBVRQ1 offers superior resolution but narrower supply flexibility, while LM50QIMRQ1 trades accuracy and safety compliance for lower cost - making TMP235AQDBZTQ1 the balanced choice for Grade 0 powertrain and ASIL-B systems requiring 2.3 V operation and documented safety support.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the TMP235AQDBZTQ1?
The TMP235AQDBZTQ1 is rated for –40°C to +150°C operation per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification. Its ±2.5°C maximum accuracy specification applies across this full range, with ±0.5°C typical accuracy from 0°C to +70°C - making it suitable for under-hood and powertrain applications where extreme thermal stress occurs.
Does the TMP235AQDBZTQ1 require external calibration?
No, the TMP235AQDBZTQ1 is factory-calibrated and requires no external trimming. Its 10 mV/°C slope and 500 mV offset at 0°C are specified and tested across temperature and supply voltage. For highest accuracy above 100°C, TI provides piecewise-linear coefficients (Table 7-1) that can be implemented in host firmware - but basic ratiometric use needs no calibration.
Can the TMP235AQDBZTQ1 drive a 1000 pF load directly?
Yes, the TMP235AQDBZTQ1's class-AB output driver is characterized to drive up to 1000 pF capacitive load while maintaining specified accuracy and linearity. This capability eliminates the need for external buffer amplifiers when interfacing to SAR ADCs with large sampling capacitance, reducing system cost and board space.
Is the TMP235AQDBZTQ1 pin-compatible with other TI temperature sensors?
Yes, the TMP235AQDBZTQ1 in SOT-23 (DBZ) package is footprint-compatible with LMT8x-Q1, LM50-Q1, and LM20 sensors. Pin 1 is VDD, pin 2 is VOUT, and pin 3 is GND - matching standard 3-pin analog temperature sensor layouts and enabling mechanical interchangeability in existing PCB designs.
What functional safety documentation is available for the TMP235AQDBZTQ1?
Texas Instruments provides functional safety documentation for the TMP235AQDBZTQ1 including FIT rate data, failure mode effects analysis (FMEA), and a safety manual - supporting ISO 26262 ASIL-B system-level development. This documentation is accessible via TI's product folder and is intended to aid safety architects in qualifying the device within automotive safety-critical systems.
