CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although the
TMP17 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices
subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended
to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

TMP17
THEORY OF OPERATION
The TMP17 uses a fundamental property of silicon transistors
to realize its temperature proportional output. If two identical
transistors are operated at a constant ratio of collector current
densities, r, then the difference in base-emitter voltages will be
(kT/q)(ln r). Since both k, Boltzmann’s constant, and q, the
charge of an electron, are constant, the resulting voltage is
directly Proportional to Absolute Temperature (PTAT). In the
TMP17, this difference voltage is converted to a PTAT current
by low temperature coefficient thin film resistors. This PTAT
current is then used to force the total output current to be pro-
portional to degrees Kelvin. The result is a current source with
an output equal to a scale factor times the temperature (K) of
the sensor. A typical V-I plot of the circuit at 125ⴗC and the
temperature extremes is shown in TPC 4.
Factory trimming of the scale factor to 1 µA/K is accomplished at
the wafer level by adjusting the TMP17’s temperature reading
so it corresponds to the actual temperature. During laser trim-
ming, the IC is at a temperature within a few degrees of 25ⴗC
and is powered by a 5 V supply. The device is then packaged and
automatically temperature tested to specification.
FACTORS AFFECTING TMP17 SYSTEM PRECISION
The accuracy limits in the Specifications table make the TMP17
easy to apply in a variety of diverse applications. To calculate a
total error budget in a given system, it is important to correctly
interpret the accuracy specifications, nonlinearity errors, the
response of the circuit to supply voltage variations, and the effect
of the surrounding thermal environment. As with other electronic
designs, external component selection will have a major effect
on accuracy.
CALIBRATION ERROR, ABSOLUTE ACCURACY, AND
NONLINEARITY SPECIFICATIONS
Two primary limits of error are given for the TMP17 such that
the correct grade for any given application can easily be chosen
for the overall level of accuracy required. They are the calibration
accuracy at +25ⴗC and the error over temperature from –40ⴗC
to +105ⴗC. These specifications correspond to the actual error
the user would see if the current output of a TMP17 were
converted to a voltage with a precision resistor. Note that the
maximum error at room temperature or over an extended range,
including the boiling point of water, can be read directly from
the Specifications table. The error limits are a combination of
initial error, scale factor variation, and nonlinearity deviation
from the ideal 1 µA/K output. TPC 1 graphically depicts the
guaranteed limits of accuracy for a TMP17GS.
The TMP17 has a highly linear output in comparison to older
technology sensors (i.e., thermistors, RTDs, and thermocouples),
thus a nonlinearity error specification is separated from the
absolute accuracy given over temperature. As a maximum deviation
from a best-fit straight line, this specification represents the only
error that cannot be trimmed out. Figure 2 is a plot of typical
TMP17 nonlinearity over the full rated temperature range.

Figure 3. Basic Voltage Output (Single Temperature Trim)
To trim the circuit, the temperature must be measured by a refer-
ence sensor and the value of R should be adjusted so the output
(V

) corresponds to 1 mV/K. Note that the trim procedure
should be implemented as close as possible to the temperature
for which highest accuracy is desired. In most applications, if a
single temperature trim is desired, it can be implemented where
the TMP17 current-to-output voltage conversion takes place
(e.g., output resistor, offset to an op amp). Figure 4 illustrates
the effect on total error when using this technique.

Tweaking the gain of the circuit at an elevated temperature by
adjusting R2 trims out scale factor error. The only error remaining
over the temperature range being trimmed for is nonlinearity.

SUPPLY VOLTAGE AND THERMAL ENVIRONMENT
EFFECTS
The power supply rejection characteristics of the TMP17 mini-
mize errors due to voltage irregularity, ripple, and noise. If a
supply is used other than 5 V (used in factory trimming), the
power supply error can be removed with a single temperature
trim. The PTAT nature of the TMP17 will remain unchanged.
The general insensitivity of the output allows the use of lower
cost unregulated supplies and means that a series resistance of
several hundred ohms (e.g., CMOS multiplexer, meter coil
resistance) will not degrade the overall performance.
The thermal environment in which the TMP17 is used determines
two performance traits: the effect of self-heating on accuracy and
the response time of the sensor to rapid changes in temperature.
In the first case, a rise in the IC junction temperature above the
ambient temperature is a function of two variables: the power
consumption level of the circuit and the thermal resistance
between the chip and the ambient environment (␪
JA
). Self-heating
error in °C can be derived by multiplying the power dissipation
by ␪
JA
. Because errors of this type can vary widely for surroundings
with different heat sinking capacities, it is necessary to specify ␪
JA
under several conditions. Table I shows how the magnitude of
self-heating error varies relative to the environment. In typical
free air applications at 25ⴗC with a 5 V supply, the magnitude of
the error is 0.2ⴗC or less. A small glued-on heat sink will reduce
the temperature error in high temperature, large supply voltage
situations.

*␶ is an average of one time constant (63.2% of final value). In cases where the
thermal response is not a simple exponential function, the actual thermal
response may be better than indicated.
Response of the TMP17 output to abrupt changes in ambient
temperature can be modeled by a single time constant ␶ expo-
nential function. TPC 2 and TPC 3 show typical response time
plots for media of interest.
The time constant, ␶, is dependent on ␪
JA
and on the thermal
capacities of the chip and the package. Table I lists the effective
␶ (time to reach 63.2% of the final value) for several different
media. Copper printed circuit board connections will sink or
conduct heat directly through the TMP17’s soldered leads.
When faster response is required, a thermally conductive grease
or glue between the TMP17 and the surface temperature being
measured should be used.
MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
If the TMP17 is thermally attached and properly protected, it can
be used in any temperature measuring situation where the maxi-
mum range of temperatures encountered is between –40ⴗC and
+105ⴗC. Thermally conductive epoxy or glue is recommended
under typical mounting conditions. In wet environments, conden-
sation at cold temperatures can cause leakage current related errors
and should be avoided by sealing the device in nonconductive
epoxy paint or conformal coating.
APPLICATIONS
Connecting several TMP17 devices in parallel adds the currents
through them and produces a reading proportional to the average
temperature. TMP17s connected in series will indicate the lowest
temperature, because the coldest device limits the series current
flowing through the sensors. Both of these circuits are depicted
in Figure 7.

R1 can be used to trim out the inherent offset between the two
devices. By increasing the gain resistor (10 kΩ), temperature mea-
surements can be made with higher resolution. If the magnitude
of V1 and V2 is not the same, the difference in power consumption
between the two devices can cause a differential self-heating error.
Cold junction compensation (CJC) used in thermocouple signal
conditioning can be implemented using a TMP17 in the circuit
configuration of Figure 9. Expensive simulated ice baths or hard
to trim, inaccurate bridge circuits are no longer required.

Figure 9. Thermocouple Cold Junction Compensation
The circuit shown can be optimized for any ambient temperature
range or thermocouple type by simply selecting the correct value
for the scaling resistor R. The TMP17 output (1 µA/K) ⫻ R
should approximate the line best fit to the thermocouple curve
(slope in V/ⴗC) over the most likely ambient temperature range.
Additionally, the output sensitivity can be chosen by selecting
the resistors R
G1
and R
G2
for the desired noninverting gain. The
offset adjustment shown simply references the TMP17 to ⴗC. Note
that the TC of the reference and the resistors are the primary
contributors to error. Temperature rejection of 40 to 1 can be
easily achieved using the above technique.
Although the TMP17 offers a noise immune current output, it
is not compatible with process control/industrial automation
current loop standards. Figure 10 is an example of a temperature
to 4–20 mA transmitter for use with 40 V, 1 kΩ systems.
In this circuit the 1 µA/K output of the TMP17 is amplified to
1mA/°C and offset so that 4 mA is equivalent to 17°C and 20 mA
is equivalent to 33°C. R
T
is trimmed for proper reading at an
intermediate reference temperature. With a suitable choice of
resistors, any temperature range within the operating limits of
the TMP17 may be chosen.

By using a differential input A/D converter and choosing the current
to voltage conversion resistor correctly, any range of temperatures
(up to the 145ⴗC span the TMP17 is rated for) centered at any
point can be measured using a minimal number of components.
In this configuration, the system will resolve up to 1ⴗC.

determine the limits of temperature controlled
by the potentiometer R
SET
. The circuit shown operates over the
temperature range –25ⴗC to +105ⴗC. The reference maintains a
constant set point voltage and ensures that approximately 7 V
appear across the sensor. If it is necessary to guardband for
extraneous noise, hysteresis can be added by tying a resistor
from the output to the ungrounded end of R
LOW.
Multiple remote temperatures can be measured using several
TMP17s with a CMOS multiplexer or a series of 5 V logic gates
because of the device’s current-mode output and supply-voltage
compliance range. The on resistance of a FET switch or output
impedance of a gate will not affect the accuracy, as long as 4 V
is maintained across the transducer. Muxes and logic driving
circuits should be chosen to minimize leakage current related
errors. Figure 13 illustrates a locally controlled mux switching
the signal current from several remote TMP17s. CMOS or TTL
gates can also be used to switch the TMP17 supply voltages,
with the multiplexed signal being transmitted over a single twisted
pair to the load.

Figure 13. Remote Temperature Multiplexing
To minimize the number of muxes required when a large number
of TMP17s are being used, the circuit can be configured in a
matrix. That is, a decoder can be used to switch the supply voltage
to a column of TMP17s while a mux is used to control which
row of sensors is being measured. The maximum number of
TMP17s that can be used is the product of the number of channels
of the decoder and mux.
An example circuit controlling 80 TMP17s is shown in Figure 14.
A 7-bit digital word is all that is required to select one of the
sensors. The enable input of the multiplexer turns all the sensors

To convert the TMP17 output to °C or °F, a single inexpensive
reference and op amp can be used as shown in Figure 15. Although
this circuit is similar to the two temperature trim circuit shown
in Figure 5, there are two important differences. First, the gain
resistor is fixed, alleviating the need for an elevated temperature
trim. Acceptable accuracy can be achieved by choosing an inex-
pensive resistor with the correct tolerance. Second, the TMP17
calibration error can be trimmed out at a known convenient
temperature (e.g., room temperature) with a single potentiometer
adjustment. This step is independent of the gain selection.
