3 Description
The LM50 and LM50-Q1 devices are precision
integrated-circuit temperature sensors that can sense
a –40°C to 125°C temperature range using a single
positive supply. The output voltage of the device is
linearly proportional to temperature (10 mV/°C) and
has a DC offset of 500 mV. The offset allows reading
negative temperatures without the need for a
negative supply.
The ideal output voltage of the LM50 or LM50-Q1
ranges from 100 mV to 1.75 V for a –40°C to 125°C
temperature range. The LM50 and LM50-Q1 do not
require any external calibration or trimming to provide
accuracies of ±3°C at room temperature and ±4°C
over the full –40°C to 125°C temperature range.
Trimming and calibration of the LM50 and LM50-Q1
at the wafer level assure low cost and high accuracy.
The linear output, 500 mV offset, and factory
calibration of the LM50 and LM50-Q1 simplify the
circuitry requirements in a single supply environment
where reading negative temperatures is necessary.
Because the quiescent current of the LM50 and
LM50-Q1 is less than 130 µA, self-heating is limited
to a very low 0.2°C in still air.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LM50 and LM50-Q1 devices are precision integrated-circuit temperature sensors that can sense a –40°C to
125°C temperature range using a single positive supply. The output voltage of the LM50 and LM50-Q1 has a
positive temperature slope of 10 mV/°C. A 500-mV offset is included enabling negative temperature sensing
when biased by a single supply.
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 2-kΩoutput impedance as shown in the Functional Block Diagram.
7.2 Functional Block Diagram
*R2 ≈2k with a typical 1300-ppm/°C drift.
7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 LM50 and LM50-Q1 Transfer Function
The LM50 and LM50-Q1 follow a simple linear transfer function to achieve the accuracy as listed in the Electrical
Characteristics: LM50B table and the Electrical Characteristics: LM50C and LM50-Q1 table.
Use Equation 1 to calculate the value of VO.
VO= 10 mV/°C × T °C + 500 mV
where
• T is the temperature in °C
• VOis the LM50 output voltage (1)
7.4 Device Functional Modes

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The LM50 and LM50-Q1 have a wide supply range and a 10 mV/°C output slope with a 500-mV DC offset.
Therefore, it can be easily applied in many temperature-sensing applications where a single supply is required
for positive and negative temperatures.
8.2 Typical Application
8.2.1 Full-Range Centigrade Temperature Sensor
Figure 12. Full-Range Centigrade Temperature Sensor Diagram(–40°C to 125°C)
8.2.1.1 Design Requirements
For this design example, use the parameters listed in Table 1 as the input parameters.
Table 1. Design Parameters
PARAMETER VALUE
Power supply voltage ±3°C (maximum)
Output impedance ±4°C (maximum)
Accuracy at 25°C 10 mV/°C
Accuracy over –40°C to 125°C 4.5 V to 10 V
Temperature slope 4 kΩ(maximum)
8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The LM50 and LM50-Q1 are simple temperature sensors that provides an analog output. Therefore design
requirements related to layout are more important than other requirements. See Layout for more information.
8.2.1.2.1 Capacitive Loads
The LM50 and LM50-Q1 handle capacitive loading very well. Without any special precautions, the LM50 and
LM50-Q1 can drive any capacitive load. The device has a nominal 2-kΩoutput impedance (shown in Functional
Block Diagram). The temperature coefficient of the output resistors is around 1300 ppm/°C. Taking into account
this temperature coefficient and the initial tolerance of the resistors the output impedance of the device will not
exceed 4 kΩ. In an extremely noisy environment it may be necessary to add some filtering to minimize noise
pickup. TI recommends adding a 0.1-µF capacitor between +VS and GND to bypass the power supply voltage,

as shown in Figure 14. It may also be necessary to add a capacitor from VOUT to ground. A 1-µF output
capacitor with the 4-kΩoutput impedance will form a 40-Hz low-pass filter. Since the thermal time constant of the
LM50 and LM50-Q1 is much slower than the 25-ms time constant formed by the RC, the overall response time of
the device will not be significantly affected. For much larger capacitors this additional time lag will increase the
overall response time of the LM50 and LM50-Q1.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
In an extremely noisy environment, it may be necessary to add some filtering to minimize noise pickup. TI
recommends that a 0.1-µF capacitor be added from +VS to GND to bypass the power supply voltage, as shown
in Figure 14.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
The LM50 and LM50-Q1 can be applied easily in the same way as other integrated-circuit temperature sensors.
The device can be glued or cemented to a surface and its temperature will be within about 0.2°C 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 LM50 or
LM50-Q1 die would be at an intermediate temperature between the surface temperature and the air temperature.
To ensure good thermal conductivity the backside of the LM50 and LM50-Q1 die is directly attached to the GND
pin. The lands and traces to the device 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 LM50 or
LM50-Q1's temperature to deviate from the desired temperature.
Alternatively, the LM50 and LM50-Q1 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 LM50 and LM50-Q1 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 device or
its connections.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) reserves the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other changes to its
semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest issue. Buyers
should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete.
TI’s published terms of sale for semiconductor products (http://www.ti.com/sc/docs/stdterms.htm) apply to the sale of packaged integrated
circuit products that TI has qualified and released to market. Additional terms may apply to the use or sale of other types of TI products and
services.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is
accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such reproduced
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions. Resale of TI products or services with statements
different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the
associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyers and others who are developing systems that incorporate TI products (collectively, “Designers”) understand and agree that Designers
remain responsible for using their independent analysis, evaluation and judgment in designing their applications and that Designers have
full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety of Designers' applications and compliance of their applications (and of all TI products
used in or for Designers’ applications) with all applicable regulations, laws and other applicable requirements. Designer represents that, with
respect to their applications, Designer has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards that (1) anticipate dangerous
consequences of failures, (2) monitor failures and their consequences, and (3) lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and
take appropriate actions. Designer agrees that prior to using or distributing any applications that include TI products, Designer will
thoroughly test such applications and the functionality of such TI products as used in such applications.
TI’s provision of technical, application or other design advice, quality characterization, reliability data or other services or information,
including, but not limited to, reference designs and materials relating to evaluation modules, (collectively, “TI Resources”) are intended to
assist designers who are developing applications that incorporate TI products; by downloading, accessing or using TI Resources in any
way, Designer (individually or, if Designer is acting on behalf of a company, Designer’s company) agrees to use any particular TI Resource
solely for this purpose and subject to the terms of this Notice.
TI’s provision of TI Resources does not expand or otherwise alter TI’s applicable published warranties or warranty disclaimers for TI
products, and no additional obligations or liabilities arise from TI providing such TI Resources. TI reserves the right to make corrections,
enhancements, improvements and other changes to its TI Resources. TI has not conducted any testing other than that specifically
described in the published documentation for a particular TI Resource.
Designer is authorized to use, copy and modify any individual TI Resource only in connection with the development of applications that
include the TI product(s) identified in such TI Resource. NO OTHER LICENSE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY ESTOPPEL OR OTHERWISE
TO ANY OTHER TI INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT, AND NO LICENSE TO ANY TECHNOLOGY OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
RIGHT OF TI OR ANY THIRD PARTY IS GRANTED HEREIN, including but not limited to any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
regarding or referencing third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services, or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of TI Resources may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
TI RESOURCES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. TI DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR
REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS, TITLE, ANY EPIDEMIC FAILURE WARRANTY AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS. TI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR AND SHALL NOT DEFEND OR INDEMNIFY DESIGNER AGAINST ANY CLAIM,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR IS BASED ON ANY COMBINATION OF
PRODUCTS EVEN IF DESCRIBED IN TI RESOURCES OR OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT SHALL TI BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTUAL,
DIRECT, SPECIAL, COLLATERAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES IN
CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF TI RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER TI HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Unless TI has explicitly designated an individual product as meeting the requirements of a particular industry standard (e.g., ISO/TS 16949
and ISO 26262), TI is not responsible for any failure to meet such industry standard requirements.
Where TI specifically promotes products as facilitating functional safety or as compliant with industry functional safety standards, such
products are intended to help enable customers to design and create their own applications that meet applicable functional safety standards
and requirements. Using products in an application does not by itself establish any safety features in the application. Designers must
ensure compliance with safety-related requirements and standards applicable to their applications. Designer may not use any TI products in
life-critical medical equipment unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special contract specifically governing such use.
Life-critical medical equipment is medical equipment where failure of such equipment would cause serious bodily injury or death (e.g., life
support, pacemakers, defibrillators, heart pumps, neurostimulators, and implantables). Such equipment includes, without limitation, all
medical devices identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Class III devices and equivalent classifications outside the U.S.
TI may expressly designate certain products as completing a particular qualification (e.g., Q100, Military Grade, or Enhanced Product).
Designers agree that it has the necessary expertise to select the product with the appropriate qualification designation for their applications
and that proper product selection is at Designers’ own risk. Designers are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory
requirements in connection with such selection.
Designer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages, costs, losses, and/or liabilities arising out of Designer’s non-
compliance with the terms and provisions of this Notice.
