LM26 LM26 SOT-23, +/-3C Accurate, Factory Preset Thermostat Literature Number: SNIS115Q LM26 SOT-23, ±3°C Accurate, Factory Preset Thermostat General Description The LM26 is a precision, single digital-output, low-power thermostat comprised of an internal reference, DAC, temperature sensor and comparator. Utilizing factory programming, it can be manufactured with different trip points as well as different digital output functionality. The trip point (TOS) can be preset at the factory to any temperature in the range of −55°C to +110°C in 1°C increments. The LM26 has one digital output (OS/OS/US/US), one digital input (HYST) and one analog output (VTEMP). The digital output stage can be preset as either open-drain or push-pull. In addition, it can be factory programmed to be active HIGH or LOW. The digital output can be factory programmed to indicate an over temperature shutdown event (OS or OS) or an under temperature shutdown event (US or US). When preset as an overtemperature shutdown (OS) it will go LOW to indicate that the die temperature is over the internally preset TOS and go HIGH when the temperature goes below (TOS–THYST). Similarly, when preprogrammed as an undertemperature shutdown (US) it will go HIGH to indicate that the temperature is below TUS and go LOW when the temperature is above (TUS+THYST). The typical hysteresis, THYST, can be set to 2°C or 10°C and is controlled by the state of the HYST pin. A VTEMP analog output provides a voltage that is proportional to temperature and has a −10.82mV/°C output slope. Available parts are detailed in the ordering information. For other part options, contact a National Semiconductor Distributor or Sales Representative for information on minimum order qualification. The LM26 is currently available in a 5-lead SOT-23 package.

Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions. Note 2: When the input voltage (VI) at any pin exceeds the power supply (VI < GND or VI > V+), the current at that pin should be limited to 5mA. The 20mA maximum package input current rating limits the number of pins that can safely exceed the power supplies with an input current of 5mA to four. Under normal operating conditions the maximum current that pins 2, 4 or 5 can handle is limited to 5mA each. Note 3: The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJMAX (maximum junction temperature), θJA (junction to ambient thermal resistance) and TA (ambient temperature). The maximum allowable power dissipation at any temperature is PD = (TJMAX–TA) / θJA or the number given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower. For this device, TJMAX = 150°C. For this device the typical thermal resistance (θJA) of the different package types when board mounted follow: Package Type θJA SOT23-5, MA05B 250°C/W Note 4: The human body model is a 100pF capacitor discharge through a 1.5kΩ resistor into each pin. The machine model is a 200pF capacitor discharged directly into each pin. Note 5: See the URL ”http://www.national.com/packaging/“ for other recommendations and methods of soldering surface mount devices. Note 6: Typicals are at TJ = TA = 25°C and represent most likely parametric norm. Note 7: Limits are guaranteed to National's AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level). Note 8: Care should be taken to include the effects of self heating when setting the maximum output load current. The power dissipation of the LM26 would increase by 1.28mW when IOUT = 3.2mA and VOUT = 0.4V. With a thermal resistance of 250°C/W, this power dissipation would cause an increase in the die temperature of about 0.32°C due to self heating. Self heating is not included in the trip point accuracy specification. Note 9: The 1µA limit is based on a testing limitation and does not reflect the actual performance of the part. Expect to see a doubling of the current for every 15°C increase in temperature. For example, the 1nA typical current at 25°C would increase to 16nA at 85°C.

Applications Hints AFTER-ASSEMBLY PCB TESTING The LM26's VTEMP output allows after-assembly PCB testing by following a simple test procedure. Simply measuring the VTEMP output voltage will verify that the LM26 has been assembled properly and that its temperature sensing circuitry is functional. The VTEMP output has very weak drive capability that can be overdriven by 1.5mA. Therefore, one can simply force the VTEMP voltage to cause the digital output to change state, thereby verifying that the comparator and output circuitry function after assembly. Here is a sample test procedure that can be used to test the LM26CIM5-TPA which has an 85°C trip point. 1. Turn on V+ and measure VTEMP. Then calculate the temperature reading of the LM26 using the equation: VO = (−3.479×10−6×(T−30)2) + (−1.082×10−2×(T −30)) + 1.8015V Observe that OS is high. Drive VTEMP to ground. Observe that OS is now low. Release the VTEMP pin. Observe that OS is now high. A. B. C. D. E. Observe that OS is high. Drive VTEMP voltage down gradually. When OS goes low, note the VTEMP voltage. VTEMPTrig = VTEMP at OS trigger (HIGH->LOW) Calculate Ttrig using Equation 2. A. Gradually raise VTEMP until OS goes HIGH. Note VTEMP. Calculate THYST using Equation 2. 4. 5. B. VTEMP LOADING The VTEMP output has very weak drive capability (1 µA source, 40 µA sink). So care should be taken when attaching circuitry to this pin. Capacitive loading may cause the VTEMP output to oscillate. Simply adding a resistor in series as shown in Figure 2 will prevent oscillations from occurring. To determine the value of the resistor follow the guidelines given in Table 1. The same value resistor will work for either placement of the resistor. If an additional capacitive load is placed directly on the LM26 output, rather than across CLOAD, it should be at least a factor of 10 smaller than CLOAD. (1) or 2. A. B. C. D. E. (2) Verify that the temperature measured in step one is within (±3°C + error of reference temperature sensor) of the ambient/board temperature. The ambient/board temperature (reference temperature) should be measured using an extremely accurate calibrated temperature sensor. 5 www.national.com LM26 mented to a surface. The temperature that the LM26 is sensing will be within about +0.06°C of the surface temperature to which the LM26's leads are attached to. 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 measured would be at an intermediate temperature between the surface temperature and the air temperature. To ensure good thermal conductivity, the backside of the LM26 die is directly attached to the GND pin (pin 2). The temperatures of the lands and traces to the other leads of the LM26 will also affect the temperature that is being sensed. Alternatively, the LM26 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 LM26 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 ensure that moisture cannot corrode the LM26 or its connections. The junction to ambient thermal resistance (θJA) is the parameter used to calculate the rise of a part's junction temperature due to its power dissipation. For the LM26 the equation used to calculate the rise in the die junction temperature is as follows: TABLE 1. Resistive compensation for capacitive loading of VTEMP CLOAD R (Ω) ≤100pF 0 1nF 8200 10nF 3000 100nF 1000 ≥1µF 430 10132317 a) R in series with capacitor (3) where TA is the ambient temperature, V+ is the power supply voltage, IQ is the quiescent current, IL_TEMP is the load current on the VTEMP output, VDO is the voltage on the digital output, and IDO is the load current on the digital output. Since the LM26's junction temperature is the actual temperature being measured, care should be taken to minimize the load current that the LM26 is required to drive. The tables shown in Figure 3 summarize the thermal resistance for different conditions and the rise in die temperature of the LM26 without any loading on VTEMP and a 10k pull-up resistor on an open-drain digital output with a 5.5V power supply. 10132318 b) R in series with signal path FIGURE 2.
