aSM121
New Release Specification
General Description
The aSM121 is a high-precision, 3-lead CMOS silicon
thermistor in an ultra-small leadless package that provides
a cost-effective solution for applications requiring high-
accuracy low-power temperature monitoring. The aSM121
functions in a way that is similar to a PTC thermistor.
However, it is linear-calibrated, enabling application
developers to directly interpret output voltage as
temperature without complex compensation for non-
linearity.
The aSM121 output voltage ramp has a positive slope of
10mV/°C that is independent of supply voltage. The
aSM121 has a guaranteed room temperature (25°C)
accuracy of ±1°C. The aSM121 does not require external
calibration - each device is calibrated 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 with an offset of 500mV (see Fig. 1).
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.
7. Max Self Heating =

whose temperature is being measured. These printed
circuit board lands and traces will not cause the
aSM121’s temperature to deviate from the desired
temperature.
Alternatively, the aSM121 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 aSM121 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 aSM121 or its connections.
Mounting
The aSM121 package provides good thermal
conductivity to the surface to which it is soldered. It’s
low mass allows it to respond quickly to changes in
board temperature. In this case, its temperature will be
within about 0.02°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 aSM121
die will be at an intermediate temperature between the
surface temperature and the air temperature.
To ensure good thermal conductivity, the backside of
the aSM121 die is directly attached to the GND pin.
The lands and traces to the aSM121 will, of course, be
part of the printed circuit board, which is the object
