Overview
The LM60BIM3/NOPB is a precision integrated-circuit temperature sensor produced by Texas Instruments. This device is designed to sense temperatures within the range of −40°C to +125°C and operates from a single supply voltage of 2.7V to 10V. The LM60BIM3/NOPB is available in a 3-pin SOT-23 package and is calibrated to provide high accuracy temperature readings.
The output voltage of the LM60BIM3/NOPB is linearly proportional to Celsius temperature with a slope of 6.25mV/°C and a DC offset of 424mV, allowing for the reading of negative temperatures without a negative supply. This sensor is particularly suited for remote applications due to its low power consumption and minimal self-heating.
