The LM60QIM3/NOPB is typically used in industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics applications where high accuracy and reliability are required, such as in temperature monitoring and control systems.
The LM60QIM3/NOPB is designed to minimize the effects of thermal gradients, which can cause errors in temperature measurement. It achieves this through its low thermal resistance and high thermal conductivity package.
Texas Instruments recommends a 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a thermal relief pattern to minimize thermal resistance and ensure accurate temperature measurement.
The LM60QIM3/NOPB has built-in EMI filtering and is designed to be immune to electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for use in noisy environments.
Texas Instruments recommends a 2-point calibration procedure, where the device is calibrated at 0°C and 100°C, to ensure accurate temperature measurement across the entire operating range.
