The TMP17 is a monolithic integrated circuit temperature
transducer that provides an output current proportional to
absolute temperature. For a wide range of supply voltages the
transducer acts as a high impedance temperature dependent
current source of 1
µA/K.
Improved design and laser wafer
trimming of the IC’s thin-film resistors allows the TMP17 to
achieve absolute accuracy levels and nonlinearity errors
previously unattainable at a comparable price.
The TMP17 can be employed in applications between 40°C
to 105°C where conventional temperature sensors (i.e.,
thermistor, RTD, thermocouple, diode) are currently being
used. Expensive linearization circuitry, precision voltage
references, bridge components, resistance measuring circuitry
and cold junction compensation are not required with the
TMP17.

package.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. A wide operating temperature range ( 40°C to 105°C)
and highly linear output make the TMP17 an ideal substi-
tute for older, more limited sensor technologies (i.e., therm-
istors, RTDs, diodes, thermocouples).
2. The TMP17 is electrically rugged; supply irregularities and
variations or reverse voltages up to 20 V will not damage
the device.
3. Because the TMP17 is a temperature dependent current
source, it is immune to voltage noise pickup and IR drops in
the signal leads when used remotely.
4. The high output impedance of the TMP17 provides greater
than 0.5°C/V rejection of supply voltage drift and ripple.

5. Laser wafer trimming and temperature testing insures that
TMP17 units are easily interchangeable.
6. Initial system accuracy will not degrade significantly over
time. The TMP17 has proven long term performance and
repeatability advantages inherent in integrated circuit design
and construction.
