The LM57 has several outputs allowing for varying system implementations.
The LM57 has an analog temperature sensor output (VTEMP) that can be directly connected to an ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) input. Most CMOS ADCs found in microcontrollers and ASICs have a sampled data comparator input structure. When the ADC charges the sampling cap, it requires instantaneous charge from the output of the analog source such as the LM57 temperature sensor and many op amps. This requirement is easily accommodated by the addition of a capacitor (CFILTER). The size of CFILTER depends on the size of the sampling capacitor and the sampling frequency. Because not all ADCs have identical input stages, the charge requirements will vary. The general ADC application shown in Figure 20 is an example only.
By simply selecting the value of two resistors the trip point of the LM57 can easily be programmed as described in the following section. If standard 1% values are used the actual trip point threshold is not degraded and stands as described in the Electrical Characteristics section ().
To set the trip point:
