The STLM20 is a precision analog output temperature sensor for low current applications
where maximizing battery life is important. It operates over a –55 °C to 130 °C (grade 7) or
–40 °C to 85 °C (grade 9) temperature range. The power supply operating range is 2.4 V to
5.5 V. The maximum temperature accuracy of the STLM20 is ± 1.5 °C (±0.5 °C typ) at an
ambient temperature of 25 °C and V
and reaches a maximum of ±2.5 °C at the temperature range extremes. The temperature
range is affected by the power supply voltage. For the temperature grade 7 device, 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 from 2.7 V to 2.4 V changes the low end of the
operating temperature range from –55 °C to –30 °C, while the positive remains at +130 °C).
The STLM20 has a maximum quiescent supply current of 8 µA. Therefore, self-heating is
negligible.

Transfer functionSTLM20
2 Transfer function
The STLM20’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 expressed as:

Over the specified operating temperature range, the best accuracy can be obtained by using
the parabolic transfer function:

Capacitive loadSTLM20
5 Capacitive load
The STLM20 will handle capacitive loads of up to 300 pF. Over the specified temperature
range, the STLM20 has a maximum output impedance of 160 Ω.
In a noisy environment, it may be advisable to add some filtering to minimize noise in the
output voltage. A 0.1 µF capacitor added between the supply voltage and ground is
recommended.
In an extremely noisy environment, it may be necessary to add a low-pass filter network to
the output of the device. A 1 µF capacitor, in addition to the output impedance of the device,
and a 200 Ω series resistor, will provide a low-pass filter that will pass the slow thermal time
constant of the STLM20, while filtering the higher frequency noise.
