The LM19 is a precision analog output CMOS integratedcircuit temperature sensor that operates over a −55˚C to
+130˚C temperature range. The power supply operating
range is +2.4 V to +5.5 V. The transfer function of LM19 is
predominately linear, yet has a slight predictable parabolic
curvature. The accuracy of the LM19 when specified to a
parabolic transfer function is
ture of +30˚C. The temperature error increases linearly and
reaches a maximum of
extremes. The temperature range is affected by the power
supply voltage. At a power supply voltage of 2.7 V to 5.5 V
the temperature range extremes are +130˚C and −55˚C.
Decreasing the power supply voltage to 2.4 V changes the
negative extreme to −30˚C, while the positive remains at
+130˚C.
The LM19’s quiescent current is less than 10 µA. Therefore,
self-heating is less than 0.02˚C in still air. Shutdown capability for the LM19 is intrinsic because its inherent low power
consumption allows it to be powered directly from the output
of many logic gates or does not necessitate shutdown at all.

1.0 LM19 Transfer Function
The LM19’s transfer function can be described in different
ways with varying levels of precision. A simple linear transfer
function, with good accuracy near 25˚C, is

V
O
Over the full operating temperature range of −55˚C to
+130˚C, best accuracy can be obtained by using the parabolic transfer function

solving for T:
A linear transfer function can be used over a limited temperature range by calculating a slope and offset that give best
results over that range. A linear transfer function can be
calculated from the parabolic transfer function of the LM19.
The slope of the linear transfer function can be calculated
using the following equation:
m = −7.76 x 10

2.0 Mounting
The LM19 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 LM19 is
sensing will be within about +0.02˚C of the surface temperature to which the LM19’s leads are attached.
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
LM19 die is directly attached to the GND pin. The tempertures of the lands and traces to the other leads of the LM19
will also affect the temperature that is being sensed.
Alternatively, the LM19 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 LM19 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 LM19 or its connections.

3.0 Capacitive Loads
The LM19 handles capacitive loading well. Without any precautions, the LM19 can drive any capacitive load less than
300 pF as shown in Figure 4. Over the specified temperature
range the LM19 has a maximum output impedance of 160 Ω.
In an extremely noisy environment it may be necessary to
add some filtering to minimize noise pickup. It is recommended that 0.1 µF be added from V
power supply voltage, as shown in Figure 5. In a noisy
environment it may even be necessary to add a capacitor
from the output to ground with a series resistor as shown in
Figure 5. A 1 µF output capacitor with the 160 Ω maximum
output impedance and a 200 Ω series resistor will form a 442
Hz lowpass filter. Since the thermal time constant of the
LM19 is much slower, the overall response time of the LM19
will not be significantly affected.

Most CMOS ADCs found in ASICs have a sampled data comparator input structure that is notorious for causing grief to analog
output devices such as the LM19 and many op amps. The cause of this grief is the requirement of instantaneous charge of the
input sampling capacitor in the ADC. This requirement is easily accommodated by the addition of a capacitor. Since not all ADCs
have identical input stages, the charge requirements will vary necessitating a different value of compensating capacitor. This ADC
is shown as an example only. If a digital output temperature is required please refer to devices such as the LM74.
