LM 35 Temperature Sensor



The LM35 is an integrated circuit sensor that can be used to measure temperature with an electrical output proportional to the temperature (in oC)


  • Why Use LM35s To Measure Temperature?
    • You can measure temperature more accurately than a using a thermistor.
    • The sensor circuitry is sealed and not subject to oxidation, etc.
    • The LM35 generates a higher output voltage than thermocouples and may not require that the output voltage be amplified.
Below is the typical performance characteristics of LM35 Temperature Sensor:


So based on the performance characteristic of this temperature sensor, I am confident to choose it since it has good sensitivity and it is also very affordable.
