TC622/TC624
Low Cost Single Trip Point Temperature Sensor
Features:
• Temperature Set Point Easily Programs with a
Single External Resistor
• Operates with 2.7V Power Supply (TC624)
• TO-220 Package for Direct Mounting to Heatsink
(TC622XAT) or Standard 8-Pin PDIP and SOIC
General Description:
The TC622 and TC624 are programmable solid-state
temperature sensors designed to replace mechanical
switches in sensing and control applications. Both
devices integrate the temperature sensor with a
voltage reference and all required detector circuitry.
The desired temperature set point is set by the user
with a single external resistor.
Ambient temperature is sensed and compared to the
programmed set point. The OUT and OUT outputs are
driven to their active state when the measured
temperature exceeds the programmed set point.
The TC622 has a power supply voltage range of 4.5V
to 18.0V while the TC624 operates over a power supply
range of 2.7V to 4.5V. Both devices are usable over a
temperature range of -40°C to +125°C (TC622VXX,
TC624VXX). Both devices feature low supply current
making them suitable for portable applications.
Eight-pin through-hole and surface mount packages
are available. The TC622 is also offered in a 5-pin
TO-220 package.
The TC622 and TC624 are single point temperature
detectors ideal for use in a wide variety of applications.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Trip Point Programming
3.2
Hysteresis
When the temperature of the device exceeds the pro-
grammed temperature trip point, T
SET
, the OUT and
OUT outputs are driven into their active states. The
desired trip point temperature is programmed with a
single external resistor connected between the T
SET
input and V
CC
. The relationship between the resistor
value and the trip point temperature is given by
Equation 3-1.
To prevent output “chattering” at the trip point tempera-
ture, the temperature detector in the TC622/TC624 has
2°C hysteresis (see Figure 3-2). The outputs are driven
active when the temperature crosses the set point
determined by the external resistor. As temperature
declines below the set point, the hysteresis action will
hold the outputs true until the temperature drops 2°C
below the threshold.

Where:

= Programming resistor value in Ohms
T = Desired trip temperature in degrees Kelvin.
OUT
For example, as shown in Figure 3-1, to program the
device to trip at 50°C, the programming resistor is:
R
TRIP
= 0.5997 x ((50 + 273.15)
