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.

THEORY OF OPERATION
0.2
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 125 C 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 25 C
and is powered by a 5 V supply. The device is then packaged and
automatically temperature tested to specification.

TRIMMING FOR HIGHER ACCURACY
Calibration error at 25 C can be removed with a single tem-
perature trim. Figure 3 shows how to adjust the TMP17’s scale
factor in the basic voltage output circuit.

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.

Figure 3. Basic Voltage Output (Single Temperature Trim)
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.
TOTAL ERROR – C
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 +25 C and the error over temperature from –40 C
to +105 C. 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.
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
OUT
) 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.

under several conditions. Table I shows how the magnitude of
self-heating error varies relative to the environment. In typical
free air applications at 25 C with a 5 V supply, the magnitude of
the error is 0.2 C or less. A small glued-on heat sink will reduce
the temperature error in high temperature, large supply voltage
situations.

With the transducer at 0 C, adjustment of R1 for a 0 V output
nulls the initial calibration error and shifts the output from K to C.
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.
A typical plot of two trim accuracy is given in Figure 6.

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.

EFFECTS
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 –40 C and
+105 C. 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
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
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.
