Product Overview

The LM57 is a Texas Instruments resistor-programmable temperature switch in the Sensor category. Its trip point is programmed with two external 1% resistors connected to SENSE1 and SENSE2, setting both TTRIP and the VTEMP slope. The selectable trip temperature range is -40 to 150 °C with 256 possible values.

The device supports four programmable VTEMP slope options: J2 at -5.166 mV/°C, J3 at -7.752 mV/°C, J4 at -10.339 mV/°C, and J5 at -12.924 mV/°C. VTEMP is a Class AB analog voltage output proportional to temperature with programmable NTC behavior when TRIP TEST is 0.

Digital outputs include an active-high push-pull TOVER output and an active-low open-drain TOVER complement that requires a pullup resistor. Both assert when the measured temperature exceeds the programmed trip point or when TRIP TEST is high. Packages include 8-pin WSON/SD/NGR/DFN at 2.50 mm x 2.50 mm and 8-pin TSSOP/PW at 3.00 mm x 6.40 mm.
