Temperature Sensors – Analog and Digital Output

Temperature sensors are used in a variety of application fields, from medical to automotive to military, as they provide effective, reliable and accurate measure of temperature and help protect against dangerous temperatures. The LM30CIMMX/NOPB is one of the most common temperature sensors on the market, serving a variety of applications. In this article, we’ll discuss the LM30CIMMX/NOPB application field and working principle.

Application Fields

The LM30CIMMX/NOPB is a linear integrated cirucit, measuring temperature and converting it to an analog voltage output between 0 and 1.2V. This wide range of output makes it versatile, and thus popular in different application fields:

• Medical Equipment – the LM30CIMMX/NOPB is suitable for a variety of medical equipment, due to accurate temperature readings, resistance to electrical noise and flexibility.
• Automotive – the LM30CIMMX/NOPB is also popular in automotive industries, as it is suitable for the temperature control systems. It can be used to monitor and control engine and cabin temperature and provide steady readings of changing temperatures.
• Military – temperature control is important for military applications and the LM30CIMMX/NOPB is able to provide high accuracy readings for these scenarios.

Working Principle

The LM30CIMMX/NOPB is based on a band gap design, which utilizes a sample diode, a transistor, and an amplifier. The sample diode is constructed with a p-n junction. When a certain set voltage is applied to the diode, the voltage across the diode will be a function of its temperature.

The transistor operates as a current source, supplying a current that tracks the voltage across the diode. This voltage is then amplified by the amplifier, which provides a greater voltage output. The output of the amplifier is a linear scale of the temperature, ranging from 0 to 1.2V.

Conclusion

The LM30CIMMX/NOPB is a versatile temperature sensor, with applications in medical, automotive and military fields. It features a simple, efficient design – a sample diode, transistor and amplifier – which accurately measure and convert the temperature into an analog voltage.
