The LM35DZ is a precision temperature sensor IC (integrated circuit) manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is designed to accurately measure temperature and provide an analog output voltage proportional to the temperature.
Here are some key features of the LM35DZ:
1. Temperature Range: The LM35DZ can measure temperature in the range of -55°C to +150°C. It provides a linear output voltage that is directly proportional to the temperature in degrees Celsius.
2. Accuracy: The LM35DZ offers high accuracy with a typical accuracy of ±0.5°C at room temperature. This accuracy allows for precise temperature measurements in various applications.
3. Analog Output: The LM35DZ provides an analog output voltage that is linearly proportional to the temperature. The output voltage has a scale factor of 10 mV/°C, meaning that the output voltage increases by 10 mV for every degree Celsius rise in temperature.
4. Low Self-Heating: The LM35DZ has low self-heating characteristics, which minimizes the impact of the sensor's own temperature on the measured temperature.
5. Low Power Consumption: It operates with low power consumption, making it suitable for battery-powered applications or applications with power constraints.
6. Wide Supply Voltage Range: The LM35DZ can be powered by a supply voltage ranging from 4V to 30V, allowing for flexibility in different circuit designs.
7. Package Type: The "DZ" in the part number indicates the package type, which is a TO-92 package. The TO-92 package is a through-hole package with three leads that is commonly used for small-signal electronic devices.
The LM35DZ is widely used in various applications where accurate temperature measurement is required, including temperature monitoring systems, environmental control systems, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) equipment, and industrial process control.
