LM135/LM235/LM335, LM135A/LM235A/LM335A Precision Temperature Sensors May 1999 LM135/LM235/LM335, LM135A/LM235A/LM335A Precision Temperature Sensors General Description The LM135 series are precision, easily-calibrated, integrated circuit temperature sensors. Operating as a 2-terminal zener, the LM135 has a breakdown voltage directly proportional to absolute temperature at +10 mV/˚K. With less than 1Ω dynamic impedance the device operates over a current range of 400 µA to 5 mA with virtually no change in performance. When calibrated at 25˚C the LM135 has typically less than 1˚C error over a 100˚C temperature range. Unlike other sensors the LM135 has a linear output. Applications for the...
