3 Description
The LMT87 device is a precision CMOS temperature
sensor with ±0.4°C typical accuracy (±2.7°C
maximum) and a linear analog output voltage that is
inversely proportional to temperature. The 2.7-V
supply voltage operation, 5.4-μA quiescent current,
and 0.7-ms power-on time enable effective powercycling
architectures to minimize power consumption
for battery-powered applications such as drones and
sensor nodes. The LMT87LPG through-hole TO-92S
package fast thermal time constant supports offboard
time-temperature sensitive applications such
as smoke and heat detectors. The accuracy over the
wide operating range and other features make the
LMT87 an excellent alternative to thermistors.
For devices with different average sensor gains and
comparable accuracy, refer to Comparable
Alternative Devices for alternative devices in the
LMT8x family.
