The LM35AH/NOPB is an analog, local temperature sensor from Texas Instruments' LM35 series, delivering a linear 10mV/°C output voltage that is directly proportional to temperature in degrees Celsius.
Supply and signal-chain fit
The 4V to 30V supply range means this sensor runs from a common 5V or 12V rail without a separate regulator, and the 60 µA typical quiescent current keeps self-heating below 0.1°C in still air. Output is a high-impedance analog voltage that connects directly to an ADC input or comparator — no external signal conditioning is required for the 10mV/°C scale factor.
Housed in a TO-206AB (TO-46-3) metal can with through-hole mounting, the package provides a hermetic seal suited for high-reliability or condensing environments where plastic packages would absorb moisture. The three-lead TO-46 footprint mates with standard 0.100-inch pitch sockets or solder pads — the metal case is internally grounded and can be tied to the PCB ground plane for noise shielding.
