    The TMP36 is a solid state analog temperature sensor that uses a bipolar junction transistor (BJT) method to generate an output voltage proportional to temperature. It has a sensitivity of 10 mV/°C, low self-heating below 50uA, and provides a linear output over a wide temperature range of -40°C to 125°C with an accuracy of ±1°C at 25°C. The sensor utilizes the relationship between a BJT's base-emitter voltage and collector current, which changes predictably with temperature, to output an analog voltage corresponding to the measured temperature.

    TMP 36-Analog temperature sensor


    The TMP36 is the device that can be used to measure very accurately the physical parameter which is
    temperature to a certain extent range. This sensor is categorized into solid state device and BJTs method
    is mainly used to develop it.by this sensor, an analog voltage signal can be generated to measure the
    temperature which proportional to the voltage.
    Working principle: all the semi-conductor temperature sensor make use of the relationship between a
    bipolar junction transistors base-emitter to its collector current which is given by, =

    ()

    Where Ic-collector current, Is dark current, k-Boltzmann constant, T-absolute temperature, q-charge of
    an electron.in side the sensor, BJTs are in some configuration (figure 1) and final output analog voltage
    can be written as ( ) =

    For fixed value N, is proportional to absolute temperature T. this is the phenomena is


    used to develop semi-conductor temperature sensor.
    Characteristic: The TMP 36 is a low voltage temperature sensor with a / scale factor
    (sensitivity). Supply current is very low which is below 50uA, providing very low self-heating.
    TMP 36 is specified from (dynamic range) and provide a 750 mv output
    at . The TMP36 do not require any external calibration to provide typical accuracies of 1 C at
    +25 C and 2 C over the 40 C to +125 C temperature range. Also typical value of nonlinearity
    is . .transfer function is very linear in range (figure 2).
