TMP36 does not take 35 volts like LM35 does.
Also. Reading the comments... The datasheet shows bottom view, so maybe you connected the chip incorrectly.
Well. We don't know what Brownout used to power it. All we know is that they have a problem with it.Pinouts are the same on TMP36 and LM35, but absolute max. supply voltage on the TMP36 is only 7V. Not good!
In direct answer to your question, I have used LM35s occasionally and never had a problem, but I have used the LM34 (F version) extensively, and never had a problem with it. (Although I did get some counterfeit LM34s once from Jameco.)Might i expect better reliability from the LM35?
Good points but many irrelevant from a hobbyist view. You can get them pretty cheap from China, and most hobbyists aren't buying bunches of them anyway.I'm NOT a big fan of dallas 1-wire temp sensors.
They are overly expensive, slow and clunky to get a temperature reading from, and I don't like the idea of placing a tiny micro inside a temperature sensor that will get cooked...
The ONLY good point I can see is that you can string a lot of them on one signal wire. Everything else is bad.
