For supply voltages between +4 V and +30 V the device acts as a high impedance, constant current regulator passing 1 µA/K. Laser trimming of the chip’s thin-film resistors is used to calibrate the device to 298.2 µA output at 298.2K (+25°C). The AD590 should be used in any temperature sensing application below +150°C in which conventional electrical temperature sensors are currently employed. The inherent low cost of a monolithic integrated circuit combined with the elimination of support circuitry makes the AD590 an attractive alternative for many temperature measurement situations. Linearization circuitry, precision voltage amplifiers, resistance measuring circuitry and cold junction compensation are not needed in applying the AD590. In addition to temperature measurement, applications include temperature compensation or correction of discrete components, biasing proportional to absolute temperature, flow rate measurement, level detection of fluids and anemometry. The AD590 is available in chip form making, it suitable for hybrid circuits and fast temperature measurements in protected environments. The AD590 is particularly useful in remote sensing applications. The device is insensitive to voltage drops over long lines due to its high impedance current output. Any well insulated twisted pair is sufficient for operation hundreds of feet from the receiving circuitry. The output characteristics also make the AD590 easy to multiplex: the current can be switched by a CMOS multiplexer or the supply voltage can be switched by a logic gate output. PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS 1. The AD590 is a calibrated two terminal temperature sensor requiring only a dc voltage supply (+4 V to +30 V). Costly transmitters, filters, lead wire compensation and linearization circuits are all unnecessary in applying the device. 2. State-of-the-art laser trimming at the wafer level in conjunction with extensive final testing ensures that AD590 units are easily interchangeable. 3. Superior interface rejection results from the output being a current rather than a voltage. In addition, power requirements are low (1.5 mWs @ 5 V @ +25°C.) These features make the AD590 easy to apply as a remote sensor. 4. The high output impedance (>10 MΩ) provides excellent rejection of supply voltage drift and ripple. For instance, changing the power supply from 5 V to 10 V results in only a 1 µA maximum current change, or 1°C equivalent error. 5. The AD590 is electrically durable: it will withstand a forward voltage up to 44 V and a reverse voltage of 20 V. Hence, supply irregularities or pin reversal will not damage the device.

Note that the chip is in direct contact with the ceramic base, not the metal lid. When using the AD590 in die form, the chip substrate must be kept electrically isolated, (floating), for correct circuit operation. METALIZATION DIAGRAM CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION1 The AD590 uses a fundamental property of the silicon transistors from which it is made to realize its temperature proportional characteristic: if two identical transistors are operated at a constant ratio of collector current densities, r, then the difference in their base-emitter voltage will be (kT/q)(In r). Since both k, Boltzman’s constant and q, the charge of an electron, are constant, the resulting voltage is directly proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT). 1 For a more detailed circuit description see M.P. Timko, “A Two-Terminal IC Temperature Transducer,” IEEE J. Solid State Circuits, Vol. SC-11, p. 784-788, Dec. 1976. In the AD590, this PTAT voltage is converted to a PTAT current by low temperature coefficient thin-film resistors. The total current of the device is then forced to be a multiple of this PTAT current. Referring to Figure 1, the schematic diagram of the AD590, Q8 and Q11 are the transistors that produce the PTAT voltage. R5 and R6 convert the voltage to current. Q10, whose collector current tracks the colletor currents in Q9 and Q11, supplies all the bias and substrate leakage current for the rest of the circuit, forcing the total current to be PTAT. R5 and R6 are laser trimmed on the wafer to calibrate the device at +25°C. Figure 2 shows the typical V–I characteristic of the circuit at +25°C and the temperature extremes. Figure 1.

This scale factor is trimmed to 1 HA/K at the temperature curve before and after calibration error trimming factory, by adjusting the indicated temperature (i. e, the output current) to agree with the actual temperature. This is done with 5 V across the device at a temperature within a few degrees of +25C (298.2K). The device is then packaged and tested for accuracy over temperature CALIBRATION ERROR CALIBRATION ERROR At final factory test the difference between the indicated CALIBRATION temperature and the actual temperature is called the calibration error. Since this is a scale factory error, its contribution to the total error of the device is PTAT. For example, the effect of the TEMPERATURE C specified maximum error of the AD59OL varies from 0.73C at-55C to 1.42C at 150C. Figure 3 shows how an exagger Figure 5.

Note that when this error is trimmed out at one temperature, its effect is zero over the entire temperature range In most applications there is a current-to-voltage conversion resistor (or, as with a current input ADC, a reference) that can be trimmed for scale factor adjustment Figure 7A shows a circuit in which the nonlinearity is the major contributor to error over temperature.

EXPLANATION OF TEMPERATURE SENSOR SPECIFICATIONS The way in which the AD590 is specified makes it easy to apply in a wide variety of different applications. It is important to understand the meaning of the various specifications and the effects of supply voltage and thermal environment on accuracy. The AD590 is basically a PTAT (proportional to absolute temperature)1 current regulator. That is, the output current is equal to a scale factor times the temperature of the sensor in degrees Kelvin. This scale factor is trimmed to 1 µA/K at the factory, by adjusting the indicated temperature (i.e., the output current) to agree with the actual temperature. This is done with 5 V across the device at a temperature within a few degrees of +25°C (298.2K). The device is then packaged and tested for accuracy over temperature. CALIBRATION ERROR At final factory test the difference between the indicated temperature and the actual temperature is called the calibration error. Since this is a scale factory error, its contribution to the total error of the device is PTAT. For example, the effect of the 1°C specified maximum error of the AD590L varies from 0.73°C at –55°C to 1.42°C at 150°C. Figure 3 shows how an exaggerated calibration error would vary from the ideal over temperature. Figure 3. Calibration Error vs. Temperature The calibration error is a primary contributor to maximum total error in all AD590 grades. However, since it is a scale factor error, it is particularly easy to trim. Figure 4 shows the most elementary way of accomplishing this. To trim this circuit the temperature of the AD590 is measured by a reference temperature sensor and R is trimmed so that VT = 1 mV/K at that temperature. Note that when this error is trimmed out at one temperature, its effect is zero over the entire temperature range. In most applications there is a current-to-voltage conversion resistor (or, as with a current input ADC, a reference) that can be trimmed for scale factor adjustment. Figure 4. One Temperature Trim 1 T(°C) = T(K) –273.2; Zero on the Kelvin scale is “absolute zero”; there is no lower temperature. ERROR VERUS TEMPERATURE: WITH CALIBRATION ERROR TRIMMED OUT Each AD590 is tested for error over the temperature range with the calibration error trimmed out. This specification could also be called the “variance from PTAT” since it is the maximum difference between the actual current over temperature and a PTAT multiplication of the actual current at 25°C. This error consists of a slope error and some curvature, mostly at the temperature extremes. Figure 5 shows a typical AD590K temperature curve before and after calibration error trimming. Figure 5. Effect to Scale Factor Trim on Accuracy ERROR VERSUS TEMPERATURE: NO USER TRIMS Using the AD590 by simply measuring the current, the total error is the “variance from PTAT” described above plus the effect of the calibration error over temperature. For example the AD590L maximum total error varies from 2.33°C at –55°C to 3.02°C at 150°C. For simplicity, only the large figure is shown on the specification page. NONLINEARITY Nonlinearity as it applies to the AD590 is the maximum deviation of current over temperature from a best-fit straight line. The nonlinearity of the AD590 over the –55°C to +150°C range is superior to all conventional electrical temperature sensors such as thermocouples. RTDs and thermistors. Figure 6 shows the nonlinearity of the typical AD590K from Figure 5. Figure 6. Nonlinearity Figure 7A shows a circuit in which the nonlinearity is the major contributor to error over temperature. The circuit is trimmed by adjusting R1 for a 0 V output with the AD590 at 0°C. R2 is then adjusted for 10 V out with the sensor at 100°C. Other pairs of temperatures may be used with this procedure as long as they are measured accurately by a reference sensor. Note that for +15 V output (150°C) the V+ of the op amp must be greater than 17 V. Also note that V– should be at least –4 V: if V– is ground there is no voltage applied across the device.

Typical Two-Trim Accuracy VOLTAGE AND THERMAL ENVIRONMENT EFFECTS The power supply rejection specifications show the maximum expected change in output current versus input voltage changes. The insensitivity of the output to input voltage allows the use of unregulated supplies. It also means that hundreds of ohms of resistance (such as a CMOS multiplexer) can be tolerated in series with the device. It is important to note that using a supply voltage other than 5 V does not change the PTAT nature of the AD590. In other words, this change is equivalent to a calibration error and can be removed by the scale factor trim (see previous page). The AD590 specifications are guaranteed for use in a low thermal resistance environment with 5 V across the sensor. Large changes in the thermal resistance of the sensor’s environment will change the amount of self-heating and result in changes in the output which are predictable but not necessarily desirable. The thermal environment in which the AD590 is used determines two important characteristics: the effect of self heating and the response of the sensor with time. Figure 8. Thermal Circuit Model Figure 8 is a model of the AD590 which demonstrates these characteristics. As an example, for the TO-52 package, θJC is the thermal resistance between the chip and the case, about 26°C/watt. θCA is the thermal resistance between the case and the surroundings and is determined by the characteristics of the thermal connection. Power source P represents the power dissipated on the chip. The rise of the junction temperature, TJ, above the ambient temperature TA is: TJ −T A = P (θJC + θCA ) Equation 1 Table I gives the sum of θJC and θCA for several common thermal media for both the “H” and “F” packages. The heatsink used was a common clip-on. Using Equation 1, the temperature rise of an AD590 “H” package in a stirred bath at +25°C, when driven with a 5 V supply, will be 0.06°C. However, for the same conditions in still air the temperature rise is 0.72°C. For a given supply voltage, the temperature rise varies with the current and is PTAT. Therefore, if an application circuit is trimmed with the sensor in the same thermal environment in which it will be used, the scale factor trim compensates for this effect over the entire temperature range.

The time response of the AD590 to a step change in temperature is determined by the thermal resistances and the thermal capacities of the chip, CCH, and the case, CC. CCH is about 0.04 watt-sec/°C for the AD590. CC varies with the measured medium since it includes anything that is in direct thermal contact with the case. In most cases, the single time constant exponential curve of Figure 9 is sufficient to describe the time response, T (t). Table I shows the effective time constant, τ, for several media. Figure 9.
