(1) Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
(2) If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/ Distributors for availability and specifications.

(1) Tested limits are specified and 100% tested in production.
(2) Design limits are specified (but not 100% production tested) over the indicated temperature and supply voltage ranges. These limits are not used to calculate outgoing quality levels.
(3) Accuracy is defined as the error between the output voltage and 10 mV/°F times the device’s case temperature at specified conditions of voltage, current, and temperature (expressed in °F).
(4) Nonlinearity is defined as the deviation of the output-voltage-versus-temperature curve from the best-fit straight line over the rated temperature range of the device.
(5) Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using pulse testing with a low duty cycle. Changes in output due to heating effects can be computed by multiplying the internal dissipation by the thermal resistance.
6.6 Electrical Characteristics: LM34, LM34C, and LM34D
Unless otherwise noted, these specifications apply: −50°F ≤ TJ ≤ 300°F for the LM34 and LM34A; −40°F ≤ TJ ≤ 230°F for the LM34C and LM34CA; and +32°F ≤ TJ ≤ 212°F for the LM34D. VS = 5 Vdc and ILOAD = 50 µA in the circuit of Full-Range Fahrenheit Temperature Sensor; 6 Vdc for LM34 and LM34A for 230°F ≤ TJ ≤ 300°F. These specifications also apply from 5°F to TMAX in the circuit of Basic Fahrenheit Temperature Sensor (5°F to 300°F).
