DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
2997 is a high-accuracy analog output temperature
sensor. It converts the temperature of an external sensor or
its own temperature to an analog voltage output. A built-in
algorithm eliminates errors due to series resistance be-
tween the LTC2997 and the sensor diode.
The LTC2997 gives accurate results with low-cost diode-
connected NPN or PNP transistors or with integrated
temperature transistors on microprocessors or FPGAs.
Tying pin D
+
to V
CC
configures the LTC2997 to measure
its internal temperature.
The LTC2997 provides an additional 1.8V reference voltage
output which can be used as an ADC reference input or
for generating temperature threshold voltages to compare
against the V
PTAT
output.
The LTC2997 provides a precise and versatile micropower
solution for accurate temperature sensing.

reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
All currents into pins are positive; all voltages are referenced to
GND unless otherwise noted.
Note 3:
If voltage on pin D
+
exceeds the diode select threshold the
LTC2997 uses the internal diode sensor.
Note 4:
η
= ideality factor of remote diode
Note 5:

Note 6:
Guaranteed by design and not subject to test.
Note 7:
Guaranteed by design and test correlation.
