General Description
The aTS51 is a high-precision CMOS temperature
sensor that provides a cost-effective solution for
applications requiring high-accuracy low-power
temperature monitoring. The aTS51 is ideally suited for
applications requiring high drive current. The aTS51
output voltage ramp is extremely linear and has a
slope of 10mV/°C. With a supply voltage of 2.7V to
6V, the aTS51 is accurate to ±1°C over a temperature
range of
−40°C
to 125°C and has a typical room
temperature accuracy of ±0.5°C. Reducing the supply
voltage to 2.7V does not change the negative and
positive temperature extremes. As well, the aTS51
does not require external calibration. Calibration of
each device is performed at the factory.

Notes:
4. Accuracy (expressed in °C) = Difference between calculated output voltage and measured output voltage.
Calculated output voltage = 10mV/°C multiplied by device’s case temperature at specified conditions of
temperature, voltage and power supply.
5. Non-linearity is defined as the deviation of the output-voltage-versus-temperature curve from the best-fit straight
line, over the device’s rated temperature range.
6. Lowest output current should be targeted; higher currents result in more self-heating of the device.

Mounting
The aTS51 can be easily mounted by gluing or
cementing it to a surface. In this case, its temperature
will be within about 0.2°C of the temperature of the
surface it is attached to if the ambient air temperature
is almost the same as the surface temperature. If the
air temperature is much higher or lower than the
surface temperature, the actual temperature of the
aTS51 die will be at an intermediate temperature
between the surface temperature and the air
temperature.
To ensure good thermal conductivity, the backside of
the aTS51 die is directly attached to the GND pin. The
lands and traces to the aTS51 will, of course, be part of
the printed circuit board, which is the object whose
temperature is being measured. These printed circuit
board lands and traces will not cause the aTS51’s
temperature to deviate from the desired temperature.
Alternatively, the aTS51 can be mounted inside a
sealed-end metal tube, and can then be dipped into a
bath or screwed into a threaded hole in a tank. As
with any IC, the aTS51 and accompanying wiring and
circuits must be kept insulated and dry to avoid
leakage and corrosion. This is especially true if the
circuit may operate at cold temperatures where
condensation can occur. Printed-circuit coatings and
varnishes such as Humiseal and epoxy paint or dips
can be used to ensure that moisture cannot corrode
the aTS51 or its connections.
NOTE: When taking advantage of the high current drive capability of the aTS51 while
driving resistive loads, it is necessary to apply the appropriate thermal mounting
techniques as described above. Failure to do so will result in a loss of accuracy due to
increased self heating.
