AQ297
3ºC Accurate with Hysteresis
Adjustable Thermostat
SOT23-5 Package
Product Specification
Revision 1.1

General Description
The device AQ297 is an adjustable accurate low-
power solid-state thermostat. The temperature trip
point can be set with one external resistor from 50ºC
to 150ºC with an accuracy of 3 degrees. The thermal
hysteresis is internally programmed to guarantee
stability at the transition point.
The device AQ297 is used to protect systems from
overheating above the normal rating of components like
capacitors, batteries, or any other temperature
sensitive component. The device AQ297 is also used in
battery management systems to stop the battery
charge when the battery temperature is outside of the
safe temperature range.
The output OT is an open drain output that can sink up
to 50mA when the threshold temperature is reached.
The minimum voltage of operation is 2.2 V.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stress greater than those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the
device. These stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any conditions beyond
those indicated under recommended Operating Conditions is not implied. Exposure to “Absolute Maximum
Rating” for extended periods may affect device reliability. Use of standard ESD handling precautions is
required.

Electrical Specifications
Electrical characteristics are guaranteed over the full temperature range -55ºC <Tj<150ºC unless otherwise
stated. Ambient temperature must be de-rated based upon power dissipation and package thermal
characteristics. Unless otherwise specified: VCC = 5V, TREF and TADJ = no connect, Tj =25ºC

Typical Application
The device AQ297 is very simple to use. It is recommended to place the AQ297 in close proximity of the device
whose temperature is to be sensed. The device AQ297 has an open drain output which is capable of sinking up
to 50mA when the sensed temperature exceeds the trip point. The temperature trip point can be set by the
addition of an external resistor RSET between the TREF and the TADJ pins as depicted in FIG.1 below.
FIG.1
It is assumed that the temperature coefficient of the external resistor be close to zero as it commonly is.
Higher accuracy resistors guarantee higher accuracy temperature trip point.
The resistor RSET value should be selected according to the table below to determine the desired temperature
trip point. The table in particular shows the desired resistor value for the temperature range between 50ºC and
80ºC. If no external resistor is selected the temperature trip point will be 120ºC.
