Product Overview
TMP236 is a Texas Instruments analog output temperature sensor for analog temperature sensing applications. The TMP23x family description identifies it as a precision CMOS linear analog temperature sensor, and its VOUT pin provides a voltage proportional to temperature. For TMP236, the sensor gain is 19.5 mV/°C with a 400 mV typical output voltage offset at 0°C.
The recommended supply range is 3.1 V to 5.5 V, with a recommended operating free-air temperature range from -40°C to +150°C. Electrical data includes 10 µA typical operating current at 25°C and 3.1 V, 15 µA maximum operating current from -10°C to +125°C, 500 µA output current, and output impedance values of 20 Ω at 100 Hz and 50 Ω at 500 Hz under the stated test conditions.
Package options include SC70-5 (DCK) with a 2.00 mm x 1.25 mm body and SOT-23-3 (DBZ) with a 2.92 mm x 1.30 mm body. Pin functions cover VDD positive supply input, VOUT temperature-proportional voltage output, and GND power supply ground; SC70 pins 1 and 5 are no-connect pins that may be left floating or connected to GND.
