LMT01-Q1: The number of output pulses issue for LMT01-Q1

Part Number: LMT01-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LMT01

Hi team,

The customer uses LMT01-Q1. He also uses SOT-92 package. 

When the air temperature is 20℃, LMT01-Q1 can output 1120 pulses. But when LMT01-Q1 is in -1℃ for 2 minutes, the number of  output pulses

is reduced. Finally,  the number of  output pulses is reduced to 0. 

Please check the customer's schematic. He collects  the number of  the VN_1_NOT pin pulses. 

 the VN_1_NOT pin is connected to GPIO pin of his MCU.

The customer thinks this is abnormal when LMT01-Q1 is in -1℃ for 2 minutes. 

For the customer's issue, would you provide some suggestions?

Is the customer's schematic needed to be modified?

  • Mickey,

    Do you mean LMT01 in the TO-92 package?

    You're saying that when T=20C the device operates normally but when T = -1C the pulses count reduces to 0 after 2min?  Does it work at other temperatures like -20C and 100C etc.

    The schematic is fine.  How many devices have they tested and observed this behavior?  Have the customers used this device before? Is this a new design?

    Have they verified this with an oscilloscope? What is the supply voltage?  Please show me the scope measurement at VN_1 and VN_1_NOT when T=-1C.

  • Hi Kelvin,

    1. Yes, the customer uses TO-92 package. The IC number is LMT01-Q1.
    2. Yes, when T=20C the device operates normally but when T = -1C the pulses count reduces to 0 after 2min.
    3. This is a new design.

    For other questions, I will confirm with the customer. Then I will update the post.
  • Hi Mickey,

    Please make sure that customer got the polarity correct. This is a common issue.

    Pin 1: Vp

    Pin 2: Vn

    Below picture is the top view. So, if you have the device flat side facing to you then it is identified pin 1.

    Hope this helps.

  • Hi Aaron,

    OK. I have noted this. Thanks for your reply.
