Description
The LM35 is a precision temperature sensor in a TO-92-3 package, widely used for measuring ambient temperatures with high accuracy. This sensor provides an output voltage that is directly proportional to the Celsius (Centigrade) temperature, making it easy to interface with microcontrollers and other analog-to-digital converters. Unlike thermistors, the LM35 does not require any external calibration or trimming to provide accurate readings, offering a linear output of 10 mV per degree Celsius. Operating over a temperature range of -55°C to 150°C, the LM35 is suitable for a variety of applications, including HVAC systems, weather stations, industrial process controls, and home automation systems. Its low self-heating feature ensures that it does not significantly affect the surrounding temperature, providing precise measurements
