The ISL71590SEH is a temperature-to-current transducer

possessing two terminals. It has a high impedance current output

that allows it to be insensitive to voltage drops across long lines.

When provided a differential voltage between 4V and 33V, the

device acts as a constant current regulator that generates a

current equal to 1µA/Kelvin (K).

The ISL71590SEH is specified across the -55°C to +125°C

temperature range and with ±1.7°C accuracy without the

need of additional circuitry, and also capable of operating up

to +150°C. With power requirements as low as 1.5mW (5V at

+25°C), it is an ideal choice for remote sensing applications as

any well-insulated twisted pair cable will allow for proper

operation. It can be used in several additional applications

including temperature compensation networks, flow rate

analysis, anemometry and biasing proportional to absolute

temperature.

The high output impedance (>10MΩ) leaves plenty of room for

variations in the power supply voltage. It is electrically durable

as it can withstand a forward operating voltage of 33V over the

full temperature range both under and without ion beam

radiation and a reverse voltage of -40V.
