The LM62 is a precision integrated-circuit temperature sensor that can sense a 0˚C to +90˚C temperature range while
operating from a single +3.0V supply. The LM62’s output
voltage is linearly proportional to Celsius (Centigrade) temperature (+15.6 mV/˚C) and has a DC offset of +480 mV.
The offset allows reading temperatures down to 0˚C without
the need for a negative supply.The nominal output voltage of
the LM62 ranges from +480 mV to +1884 mV for a 0˚C to
+90˚C temperature range. The LM62 is calibrated to provide
accuracies of
−2.0˚C over the full 0˚C to +90˚C temperature range.
The LM62’s linear output, +480mV offset, and factory cali-
bration simplify external circuitry required in a single supply
environment where reading temperatures down to 0˚C is required. Because the LM62’s quiescent current is less than
130 µA, self-heating is limited to a very low 0.2˚C in still air.
Shutdown capability for the LM62 is intrinsic because its inherent low power consumption allows it to be powered directly from the output of many logic gates.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. 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 8: Accuracy is defined as the error between the output voltage and +15.6 mV/˚C times the device’s case temperature plus 480 mV, at specified conditions of
voltage, current, and temperature (expressed in ˚C).
Note 9: 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 10: Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature, using pulse testing with a low duty cycle. Changes in output due to heating effects can be com-
puted by multiplying the internal dissipation by the thermal resistance.
Note 11: For best long-term stability, any precision circuit will give best results if the unit is aged at a warm temperature, and/or temperature cycled for at least 46
hours before long-term life test begins. This is especially true when a small (Surface-Mount) part is wave-soldered; allow time for stress relaxation to occur. The majority of the drift will occur in the first 1000 hours at elevated temperatures. The drift after 1000 hours will not continue at the first 1000 hour rate.

1.0 Mounting
The LM62 can be applied easily in the same way as other
integrated-circuit temperature sensors. It can be glued or cemented to a surface. The temperature that the LM62 is sensing will be within about +0.2˚C of the surface temperature
that LM62’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
LM62 die is directly attached to the GND pin. The lands and
traces to the LM62 will, of course, be part of the printed circuit board, which is the object whose temperature is being
measured. These printed circuit board lands and traces will
not cause the LM62’s temperature to deviate from the desired temperature.

Alternatively, the LM62 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 LM62 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 LM62 or its connections.

2.0 Capacitive Loads
The LM62 handles capacitive loading well. Without any special precautions, the LM62 can drive any capacitive load as
shown in

LM62 has a maximum output impedance of 4.7 kΩ.Inanextremely noisy environment it may be necessary to add some
filtering to minimize noise pickup. It is recommended that

. In a noisy environment it
may be necessary to add a capacitor from the output to
ground. A 1 µF output capacitor with the 4.7 kΩ maximum
output impedance will form a 34 Hz lowpass filter. Since the
thermal time constant of the LM62 is much slower than the
30 ms time constant formed by the RC, the overall response
time of the LM62 will not be significantly affected. For much
larger capacitors this additional time lag will increase the
overall response time of the LM62.
