PRECISION HIGH TEMPERATURE SWITCH
The LMP7300 brings accuracy and stability to simple sensor
switch applications. Figure 9 shows the LMP7300 setup in a
high temperature switch configuration. The input bridge es-
tablishes the trip point at 85°C and the reset temperature at
80°C. The comparator is set up with positive hysteresis of
14.3 mV and no negative hysteresis. When the temperature
is rising it trips at 85°C. The 14.3 mV hysteresis allows the
temperature to drop to 80°C before reset.
The temperature sensor used is an Omega 44008 Precision
NTC Thermistor. The 44008 has an accuracy of ±0.2°C. The
resistance at 85°C is 3270.9Ω and at 80°C is 3840.2Ω. The
trip voltage threshold is established by one half of the bridge,
which is the ratio of R
set by the second half, which is the ratio of the thermistor re-
sistance R

DETECTOR
The ability of the LMP7300 to operate at very low supply volt-
ages, makes it an ideal choice for low battery detection ap-
plication in portable equipment. The circuit in Figure 9

The accuracy of the circuit can be calculated from the nearest
resistance values chosen. For 1% resistors RADJ is 3.24
kΩ, and R
2.488 mV/C at 85°C. In general, the higher the bridge current
is allowed to be, the higher the bridge gain will be. The actual
trip point found during simulation is 85.3°C and the reset point
is 80.04°C. With the values chosen the worst case trip tem-
perature uncertainty is ±1.451°C and the reset uncertainty is
±1.548°C. Accuracy could be maximized with resistors cho-
sen to 0.1% values, 0.1% tolerance and by using the 0.1%
model of the Omega 44008 thermistor.

the very precise reference output voltage is directly connect-
ed to the non-inverting input on the comparator and sets an
