The LM34 device has an advantage over linear temperature sensors calibrated in degrees Kelvin, because the user is not required to subtract a large constant voltage from its output to obtain convenient Fahrenheit scaling. The LM34 device does not require any external calibration or trimming to provide typical accuracies of 1/2F at room temperature and 1-12F over a full -50F to 300F temperature range. Lower cost is assured by trimming and calibration at the wafer level. The low output impedance, linear output, and precise inherent calibration of the LM34 device makes interfacing to readout or control circuitry especially easy. It can be used with single power supplies or with plus and minus supplies. Because the LM34 device draws only 75 A from its supply, the device has very low selfheating, less than 0.2F in still air. 1 Calibrated Directly in Degrees Fahrenheit Linear 10.0 mV/F Scale Factor 1.0F Accuracy Assured (at 77F) Rated for Full -50 to 300F Range Suitable for Remote Applications Low Cost Due to Wafer-Level Trimming Operates From 5 to 30 Volts Less Than 90-A Current Drain Low Self-Heating, 0.18F in Still Air Nonlinearity Only 0.5F Typical Low-Impedance Output, 0.4 for 1-mA Load 2 Applications * * * * Power Supplies Battery Management HVAC Appliances The LM34 device is rated to operate over a -50F to 300F temperature range, while the LM34C is rated for a -40F to 230F range (0F with improved accuracy).

The LM34 device has an advantage over linear temperature sensors calibrated in degrees Kelvin, because the user is not required to subtract a large constant voltage from its output to obtain convenient Fahrenheit scaling. The LM34 device does not require any external calibration or trimming to provide typical accuracies of 1/2F at room temperature and 1-12F over a full -50F to 300F temperature range. Lower cost is assured by trimming and calibration at the wafer level. The low output impedance, linear output, and precise inherent calibration of the LM34 device makes interfacing to readout or control circuitry especially easy. It can be used with single power supplies or with plus and minus supplies. Because the LM34 device draws only 75 A from its supply, the device has very low self-heating, less than 0.2F in still air. The temperature sensing element is comprised of a simple base emitter junction that is forward biased by a current source. The temperature sensing element is buffered by an amplifier and provided to the OUT pin. The amplifier has a simple class-A output stage thus providing a low impedance output that can source 16 A and sink 1 A. The temperature sensing element is comprised of a delta-VBE architecture. The temperature sensing element is then buffered by an amplifier and provided to the VOUT pin. The amplifier has a simple class A output stage with typical 0.5- output impedance as shown in the Functional Block Diagram. Therefore, the LM34 device can only source current and the sinking capability of the device is limited to 1 A. 7.2 Functional Block Diagram 7.3 Feature Description 7.3.1 Capacitive Drive Capability Like most micropower circuits, the LM34 device has a limited ability to drive heavy capacitive loads. The LM34 device, by itself, is able to drive 50 pF without special precautions. If heavier loads are anticipated, it is easy to isolate or decouple the load with a resistor; see Figure 12. You can improve the tolerance of capacitance with a series R-C damper from output to ground; see Figure 13. When the LM34 is applied with a 499- load resistor (as shown Figure 18 and Figure 19), the device is relatively immune to wiring capacitance because the capacitance forms a bypass from ground to input, not on the output. However, as with any linear circuit connected to wires in a hostile environment, its performance can be affected adversely by intense electromagnetic sources such as relays, radio transmitters, motors with arcing brushes, transients of the SCR, and so on, as the wiring of the device can act as a receiving antenna and the internal junctions can act as rectifiers. For best results in such cases, a bypass capacitor from VIN to ground and a series R-C damper, such as 75 in series with 0.2 F or 1 F from output to ground, are often useful. See Figure 23, Figure 24 and Figure 26 for more details.

The device can be glued or cemented to a surface and its temperature will be within about 0.02F of the surface temperature. 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 of the LM34 die would be at an intermediate temperature between the surface temperature and the air temperature. This is especially true for the TO-92 plastic package, where the copper leads are the principal thermal path to carry heat into the device, so its temperature might be closer to the air temperature than to the surface temperature. To minimize this problem, be sure that the wiring to the LM34, as it leaves the device, is held at the same temperature as the surface of interest. The easiest way to do this is to cover up these wires with a bead of epoxy, which will insure that the leads and wires are all at the same temperature as the surface, and that the die temperature of the LM34 device will not be affected by the air temperature. The TO-46 metal package can be soldered to a metal surface or pipe without damage. In the case where soldering is used, the V- terminal of the circuit will be grounded to that metal. Alternatively, the LM34 device 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 LM34 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 a conformal coating and epoxy paints or dips are often used to insure that moisture cannot corrode the LM34 or its connections. These devices are sometimes soldered to a small, light-weight heat fin to decrease the thermal time constant and speed up the response in slowly-moving air. On the other hand, a small thermal mass may be added to the sensor to give the steadiest reading despite small deviations in the air temperature. Table 2.

LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect. NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design. PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available. OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device. Addendum-Page 1 LM34 DZ 0 to 100 LM34 DZ Samples PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM www.ti.com 14-Feb-2021 (2) RoHS: TI defines "RoHS" to mean semiconductor products that are compliant with the current EU RoHS requirements for all 10 RoHS substances, including the requirement that RoHS substance do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, "RoHS" products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes. TI may reference these types of products as "Pb-Free". RoHS Exempt: TI defines "RoHS Exempt" to mean products that contain lead but are compliant with EU RoHS pursuant to a specific EU RoHS exemption. Green: TI defines "Green" to mean the content of Chlorine (Cl) and Bromine (Br) based flame retardants meet JS709B low halogen requirements of <=1000ppm threshold. Antimony trioxide based flame retardants must also meet the <=1000ppm threshold requirement. (3) MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature. (4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device. (5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device. (6) Lead finish/Ball material - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead finish/Ball material values may wrap to two lines if the finish value exceeds the maximum column width.
