Typical Applications
CAPACITIVE LOADS
Like most micropower circuits, the LM35 has a limited ability
to drive heavy capacitive loads. The LM35 by itself is able to
drive 50 pf without special precautions. If heavier loads are
anticipated, it is easy to isolate or decouple the load with a
resistor; see Figure 3 . Or you can improve the tolerance of
capacitance with a series R-C damper from output to
ground; see Figure 4 .
When the LM35 is applied with a 200
shown in Figure 5 , Figure 6 or Figure 8 it is relatively immune
to wiring capacitance because the capacitance forms a by-
pass from ground to input, not on the output. However, as
with any linear circuit connected to wires in a hostile envi-
ronment, its performance can be affected adversely by in-
tense electromagnetic sources such as relays, radio trans-
mitters, motors with arcing brushes, SCR transients, etc, as
its wiring can act as a receiving antenna and its internal
junctions can act as rectifiers. For best results in such cases,
a bypass capacitor from V
damper such as 75 in series with 0.2 or 1 µF from output to
ground are often useful. These are shown in Figure 13 ,
Figure 14 , and Figure 16 .
