Product details
Overview
TMP235AQDCKTQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 0 automotive-qualified analog-output CMOS temperature sensor with ±2.5°C max accuracy across –40°C to +150°C, 10 mV/°C positive-slope output, and 2.3 V to 5.5 V supply range - deployed in battery management systems and electric power steering for precise thermal monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the TMP235AQDCKTQ1 datasheet, TMP235AQDCKTQ1 pinout, TMP235AQDCKTQ1 application, or TMP235AQDCKTQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin functions, real-world automotive use cases, and validated alternative options - all grounded in TI's SBOS939D production data sheet.
Technical Context
The TMP235AQDCKTQ1 implements a precision bandgap-based temperature sensing core with class-AB output driver capable of sourcing up to 500 µA and driving 1000 pF capacitive loads - enabling direct interface to SAR ADC sample-and-hold inputs without external buffering. Its piecewise-linear transfer function (three segments: –40°C–100°C, 100°C–125°C, 125°C–150°C) maintains ±0.5°C typical accuracy from 0°C to 70°C while compensating for gain drift above 100°C.
Functional safety support includes documentation for ISO 26262 ASIL-B system integration, and the device meets AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements with HBM ±2000 V and CDM ±500 V ESD ratings. Thermal response time is 1.3 s (63% step in air-to-fluid bath), and self-heating is minimized by 9 µA typical quiescent current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Accuracy | ±2.5°C max over –40°C to +150°C - guarantees worst-case error bound for safety-critical thermal shutdown decisions in EPS or BMS. |
| Output Sensitivity | 10 mV/°C with 500 mV offset at 0°C - enables direct voltage-to-temperature conversion using single-resistor scaling in MCU ADC firmware. |
| Supply Range | 2.3 V to 5.5 V - supports operation from 12 V automotive rail via LDO or directly from 3.3 V/5 V domain without level-shifting. |
| Quiescent Current | 9 µA typical - allows continuous monitoring in always-on vehicle modules without draining 12 V battery during extended parking. |
| Capacitive Load Drive | 1000 pF maximum - eliminates need for external buffer when interfacing to high-input-capacitance ADCs like TI's ADS795x series. |
| Power-On Time | 800 µs to ±0.5°C accuracy - ensures rapid thermal readiness after wake-up events in start-stop engine control systems. |

Pinout & Package
Package: SC70-5 (DCK), body size 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm, moisture sensitivity level (MSL) Level-2-260°C-1 year, RoHS-compliant NIPDAUAG finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No internal connection | May be left floating or tied to GND; no electrical function - simplifies PCB routing and avoids unintended coupling. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for sensor core and output driver; must connect to low-impedance analog ground plane to minimize noise. |
| 3 (VOUT) | Analog voltage output | Linear 10 mV/°C output referenced to GND; drives ADC input directly - requires ≤1000 pF total load capacitance including trace and mux capacitance. |
| 4 (VDD) | Positive supply input | Accepts 2.3–5.5 V; bypass capacitor (0.1 µF) required close to pin to suppress supply noise affecting output linearity. |
| 5 (NC) | No internal connection | May be left floating or tied to GND; unused pin - provides mechanical stability and thermal dissipation path in SC70 package. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

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), ±2.7°C max accuracy over –40°C to +150°C, 3-pin SOT-23 only | Optimized for higher-resolution measurement in narrow ranges; lacks SC70-5 option and functional safety documentation | Select when higher slope improves ADC LSB resolution and SC70 footprint is not required |
| LM50Q1MDCREP | Lower gain (10 mV/°C), ±3°C max accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, SC70-5 package, no functional safety support | Cost-optimized for non-safety-critical cabin applications; not qualified for Grade 0 or ASIL-B systems | Select for cost-sensitive infotainment or HVAC modules where full Grade 0 range and safety documentation are unnecessary |
Compared with TMP235AQDCKTQ1, LMT87QDBVRQ1 offers better slope but lacks SC70-5 packaging and functional safety resources, while LM50Q1MDCREP matches the SC70-5 footprint and gain but sacrifices accuracy margin and safety certification - making TMP235AQDCKTQ1 the only choice for Grade 0 BMS/EPS with ASIL-B integration needs.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the TMP235AQDCKTQ1?
The TMP235AQDCKTQ1 is rated for –40°C to +150°C operation and qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 0 standards. This full-range specification is validated across all production lots and applies to the SC70-5 (DCK) package variant. The device maintains ±2.5°C maximum accuracy across this entire span, with tighter ±0.5°C typical accuracy from 0°C to 70°C - critical for thermal protection in engine bay and motor control environments where TMP235AQDCKTQ1 is commonly deployed.
Does the TMP235AQDCKTQ1 require external calibration?
No, the TMP235AQDCKTQ1 is factory-calibrated and requires no external trimming or system-level calibration. Its 10 mV/°C slope and 500 mV offset at 0°C are guaranteed across temperature and supply voltage, with accuracy limits including line regulation effects. The piecewise-linear transfer function (documented in TI's SBOS939D) enables software compensation if needed, but most automotive applications use the linear approximation (VOUT = 500 mV + 10 mV/°C × TA) with negligible error below 100°C - simplifying firmware implementation for TMP235AQDCKTQ1 integration.
Can the TMP235AQDCKTQ1 drive a 10-bit ADC input directly?
Yes, the TMP235AQDCKTQ1 can drive a 10-bit ADC input directly when total capacitive load (including trace, multiplexer, and sampling capacitor) remains ≤1000 pF. Its class-AB output driver sources up to 500 µA and exhibits low output impedance (20 Ω at 100 Hz), ensuring minimal settling error during ADC acquisition. For optimal performance, TI recommends adding a 680 pF filter capacitor (CFILTER) near the ADC input - a configuration validated in application note SBOS939D that maintains linearity and reduces noise coupling for TMP235AQDCKTQ1 interfacing.
What is the meaning of "AQ" in TMP235AQDCKTQ1?
The "AQ" in TMP235AQDCKTQ1 denotes the AEC-Q100 Grade 1 temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) and indicates qualification to automotive reliability standards. While the base TMP235-Q1 family includes Grade 0 (–40°C to +150°C) variants, the AQ suffix specifically identifies this part as meeting Grade 1 specifications - confirmed by TI's orderable addendum showing TMP235AQDCKRQ1.A with operating range –40°C to +125°C and marking "1CG". This distinction ensures correct thermal margin selection for applications like shifter systems or head units where full Grade 0 range is unnecessary - a key detail for accurate TMP235AQDCKTQ1 system specification.
Is the TMP235AQDCKTQ1 pin-compatible with other SC70-5 temperature sensors?
Yes, the TMP235AQDCKTQ1 uses the standard SC70-5 (DCK) footprint and shares identical pinout (NC–GND–VOUT–VDD–NC) with TI's LMT8x-Q1, LM50-Q1, and LM20 automotive temperature sensors. This enables direct physical replacement on existing PCBs without layout changes - a documented design advantage in TI's datasheet. However, electrical behavior differs: TMP235AQDCKTQ1 provides 10 mV/°C gain and Grade 1 qualification, whereas LM50-Q1 offers 10 mV/°C but only Grade 3 rating, and LMT87-Q1 delivers 13.6 mV/°C. So while TMP235AQDCKTQ1 is mechanically compatible, functional verification is required for each target application.
