PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
The AD592 is a two terminal 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 A/K. Improved design and laser
wafer trimming of the ICs thin film resistors allows the AD592
to achieve absolute accuracy levels and nonlinearity errors previously unattainable at a comparable price.
Typical application areas include: appliance temperature sensing, automotive temperature measurement and control, HVAC
(heating/ventilating/air conditioning) system monitoring, industrial temperature control, thermocouple cold junction compensation, board-level electronics temperature diagnostics,
temperature readout options in instrumentation, and temperature correction circuitry for precision electronics. Particularly
useful in remote sensing applications, the AD592 is immune to
voltage drops and voltage noise over long lines due to its high
impedance current output. AD592s can easily be multiplexed;
the signal current can be switched by a CMOS multiplexer or
the supply voltage can be enabled with a tri-state logic gate.
The AD592 is available in three performance grades: the
AD592AN, AD592BN and AD592CN. All devices are packaged in a plastic TO-92 case rated from 45C to +125C. Performance is specified from 25C to +105C. AD592 chips are
also available, contact the factory for details.

over the commercial IC temperature range, or an extended
range including the boiling point of water, can be directly read
from the specifications table. All three error limits are a combination of initial error, scale factor variation and nonlinearity deviation from the ideal 1 A/K output. Figure 2 graphically
depicts the guaranteed limits of accuracy for an AD592CN.

Three primary limits of error are given for the AD592 such that
the correct grade for any given application can easily be chosen
for the overall level of accuracy required. They are the calibration accuracy at +25C, and the error over temperature from
0C to +70C and 25C to +105C. These specifications correspond to the actual error the user would see if the current output of an AD592 were converted to a voltage with a precision
Calibration error at 25C can be removed with a single temperature trim. Figure 4 shows how to adjust the AD592s scale factor in the basic voltage output circuit.

The power supply rejection characteristics of the AD592 minimizes errors due to voltage irregularity, ripple and noise. If a
supply is used other than 5 V (used in factory trimming), the
power supply error can be removed with a single temperature
trim. The PTAT nature of the AD592 will remain unchanged.
The general insensitivity of the output allows the use of lower
cost unregulated supplies and means that a series resistance of
several hundred ohms (e.g., CMOS multiplexer, meter coil
resistance) will not degrade the overall performance.
To trim the circuit the temperature must be measured by a reference sensor and the value of R should be adjusted so the output (VOUT) corresponds to 1 mV/K. Note that the trim
procedure should be implemented as close as possible to the
temperature highest accuracy is desired for. In most applications
if a single temperature trim is desired it can be implemented
where the AD592 current-to-output voltage conversion takes
place (e.g., output resistor, offset to an op amp). Figure 5 illustrates the effect on total error when using this technique.

The thermal environment in which the AD592 is used determines two performance traits: the effect of self-heating on accuracy and the response time of the sensor to rapid changes in
temperature. In the first case, a rise in the IC junction temperature above the ambient temperature is a function of two variables; the power consumption level of the circuit and the
thermal resistance between the chip and the ambient environment (JA). Self-heating error in C can be derived by multiplying the power dissipation by JA. Because errors of this type can
vary widely for surroundings with different heat sinking capacities it is necessary to specify JA under several conditions. Table
I shows how the magnitude of self-heating error varies relative
to the environment. In typical free air applications at +25C
with a 5 V supply the magnitude of the error is 0.2C or less. A
common clip-on heat sink will reduce the error by 25% or more
in critical high temperature, large supply voltage situations.

The time constant, , is dependent on JA and the thermal capacities of the chip and the package. Table I lists the effective
(time to reach 63.2% of the final value) for several different
media. Copper printed circuit board connections where neglected in the analysis, however, they will sink or conduct heat
directly through the AD592s solder dipped Kovar leads. When
faster response is required a thermally conductive grease or glue
between the AD592 and the surface temperature being measured should be used. In free air applications a clip-on heat sink
will decrease output stabilization time by 10-20%.

R1 can be used to trim out the inherent offset between the two
devices. By increasing the gain resistor (10 k) temperature
measurements can be made with higher resolution. If the magnitude of V+ and V is not the same, the difference in power consumption between the two devices can cause a differential
self-heating error.
Cold junction compensation (CJC) used in thermocouple signal
conditioning can be implemented using an AD592 in the circuit
configuration of Figure 11. Expensive simulated ice baths or
hard to trim, inaccurate bridge circuits are no longer required.

The circuit shown can be optimized for any ambient temperature range or thermocouple type by simply selecting the correct
value for the scaling resistor R. The AD592 output (1 A/K)
times R should approximate the line best fit to the thermocouple
curve (slope in V/C) over the most likely ambient temperature
range. Additionally, the output sensitivity can be chosen by
selecting the resistors RG1 and RG2 for the desired noninverting
gain. The offset adjustment shown simply references the AD592
to C. Note that the TCs of the reference and the resistors are
the primary contributors to error. Temperature rejection of 40
to 1 can be easily achieved using the above technique.

To minimize the number of MUXs required when a large number of AD592s are being used, the circuit can be configured in a
matrix. That is, a decoder can be used to switch the supply voltage to a column of AD592s while a MUX is used to control
which row of sensors are being measured. The maximum number of AD592s which can be used is the product of the number
of channels of the decoder and MUX.
An example circuit controlling 80 AD592s is shown in Figure
16. A 7-bit digital word is all that is required to select one of
the sensors. The enable input of the multiplexer turns all the
sensors off for minimum dissipation while idling.
