Hi,
I am using a TMP20 sensor in my design and when implementing the equation solved for temperature found in datasheet page 7:
The result is way off.
However I believe the LM20 is similar and in LM20 datasheet page 9 under Table 1 we can see:
And with this formula, the result is good and match with the 1863.9mV@0°C and 1574mV@25°C given in the TMP20 datasheet.
So is the formula in TMP20 datasheet wrong ?
Also it seems there is an extra "2" in the TMP20 datasheet: 2.19262 vs 2.1962 for LM20 ?
Could you please confirm the formula ?
Thank you and best regards
Raphaël
Hi Raphael,
The equation for TMP20 and LM20 should be the same. Attached is the equation that I solved a few month ago.
Hope this helps!

Hi Aaron
It is always helpful to have the justification.
Thank you very much for your support !
