Product Overview
The LM335AZ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision analog temperature sensor operating as a 2-terminal zener with 10mV/K output in a TO-92 through-hole package. With +/-1C initial accuracy at 25C, 400uA to 5mA operating current, less than 1 Ohm dynamic impedance, and easy calibration, it provides a linear Kelvin-proportional voltage output for temperature sensing from -40C to +100C.
