LM35/LM35A/LM35C/LM35CA/LM35D
Precision Centigrade Temperature Sensors
General Description
The LM35 series are precision integrated-circuit temperature sensors, whose output voltage is linearly proportional to
the Celsius (Centigrade) temperature. The LM35 thus has
an advantage over linear temperature sensors calibrated in §
Kelvin, as the user is not required to subtract a large constant voltage from its output to obtain convenient Centigrade scaling. The LM35 does not require any external calibration or trimming to provide typical accuracies of g (/4§ C
at room temperature and g */4§ C over a full b55 to a 150§ C
temperature range. Low cost is assured by trimming and
calibration at the wafer level. The LM35’s low output impedance, linear output, and precise inherent calibration make
interfacing to readout or control circuitry especially easy. It
can be used with single power supplies, or with plus and
minus supplies. As it draws only 60 mA from its supply, it has
very low self-heating, less than 0.1§ C in still air. The LM35 is
rated to operate over a b55§ to a 150§ C temperature
range, while the LM35C is rated for a b40§ to a 110§ C
range (b10§ with improved accuracy). The LM35 series is
available packaged in hermetic TO-46 transistor packages,
while the LM35C, LM35CA, and LM35D are also available in
the plastic TO-92 transistor package. The LM35D is also
available in an 8-lead surface mount small outline package
and a plastic TO-202 package.

Note 3: Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature, using pulse testing with a low duty cycle. Changes in output due to heating effects can be
computed by multiplying the internal dissipation by the thermal resistance.
Note 4: Tested Limits are guaranteed and 100% tested in production.
Note 5: Design Limits are guaranteed (but not 100% production tested) over the indicated temperature and supply voltage ranges. These limits are not used to
calculate outgoing quality levels.
Note 6: Specifications in boldface apply over the full rated temperature range.
Note 7: Accuracy is defined as the error between the output voltage and 10mv/§ C times the device’s case temperature, at specified conditions of voltage, current,
and temperature (expressed in § C).
Note 8: Nonlinearity is defined as the deviation of the output-voltage-versus-temperature curve from the best-fit straight line, over the device’s rated temperature
range.
Note 9: Quiescent current is defined in the circuit of Figure 1 .
Note 10: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. DC and AC electrical specifications do not apply when
operating the device beyond its rated operating conditions. See Note 1.

Applications
The TO-46 metal package can also be soldered to a metal
surface or pipe without damage. Of course, in that case the
Vb terminal of the circuit will be grounded to that metal.
Alternatively, the LM35 can be mounted inside a sealed-end
metal tube, and can then be dipped into a bath or screwed
into a threaded hole in a tank. As with any IC, the LM35 and
accompanying wiring and circuits must be kept insulated
and dry, to avoid leakage and corrosion. This is especially
true if the circuit may operate at cold temperatures where
condensation can occur. Printed-circuit coatings and varnishes such as Humiseal and epoxy paints or dips are often
used to insure that moisture cannot corrode the LM35 or its
connections.
These devices are sometimes soldered to a small lightweight heat fin, to decrease the thermal time constant and
speed up the response in slowly-moving air. On the other
hand, a small thermal mass may be added to the sensor, to
give the steadiest reading despite small deviations in the air
temperature.
The LM35 can be applied easily in the same way as other
integrated-circuit temperature sensors. It can be glued or
cemented to a surface and its temperature will be within
about 0.01§ C of the surface temperature.
This presumes that the ambient air temperature is almost
the same as the surface temperature; if the air temperature
were much higher or lower than the surface temperature,
the actual temperature of the LM35 die would be at an intermediate temperature between the surface temperature and
the air temperature. This is expecially true for the TO-92
plastic package, where the copper leads are the principal
thermal path to carry heat into the device, so its temperature might be closer to the air temperature than to the surface temperature.
To minimize this problem, be sure that the wiring to the
LM35, as it leaves the device, is held at the same temperature as the surface of interest. The easiest way to do this is
to cover up these wires with a bead of epoxy which will
insure that the leads and wires are all at the same temperature as the surface, and that the LM35 die’s temperature will
not be affected by the air temperature.

capacitance because the capacitance forms a bypass from
ground to input, not on the output. However, as with any
linear circuit connected to wires in a hostile environment, its
performance can be affected adversely by intense electromagnetic sources such as relays, radio transmitters, motors
with arcing brushes, SCR transients, etc, as its wiring can
act as a receiving antenna and its internal junctions can act
as rectifiers. For best results in such cases, a bypass capacitor from VIN to ground and a series R-C damper such as
75X in series with 0.2 or 1 mF from output to ground are
often useful. These are shown in Figures 13, 14, and 16.
CAPACITIVE LOADS
Like most micropower circuits, the LM35 has a limited ability
to drive heavy capacitive loads. The LM35 by itself is able to
drive 50 pf without special precautions. If heavier loads are
anticipated, it is easy to isolate or decouple the load with a
resistor; see Figure 3 . Or you can improve the tolerance of
capacitance with a series R-C damper from output to
ground; see Figure 4 .
When the LM35 is applied with a 200X load resistor as
shown in Figure 5, 6, or 8, it is relatively immune to wiring
