CAPACITIVE LOADS
Like most micropower circuits, the LM35 has a limited ability to drive heavy capacitive loads. The LM35 alone is
able to drive 50 pf without special precautions. If heavier loads are anticipated, isolating or decoupling the load
with a resistor is easy (see
Or you can improve the tolerance of capacitance with a series R-C
damper from output to ground (see
When the LM35 is applied with a 200-W load resistor as shown in
or
the device
is relatively immune to wiring capacitance because the capacitance forms a bypass from ground to input and not
on the output. However, as with any linear circuit connected to wires in a hostile environment, performance is
affected adversely by intense electromagnetic sources such as relays, radio transmitters, motors with arcing
brushes, and SCR transients, as the wiring acts as a receiving antenna and the internal junctions act as
rectifiers. For best results in such cases, a bypass capacitor from V
IN
to ground and a series R-C damper, such
as 75 W, in series with 0.2 or 1
μF
from output to ground are often useful. These are shown in
