Key electrical and mechanical differences between the two devices
| Parameter | AD590KF | AD590MF/883B | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Temperature Coefficient (Sensitivity) | 1 µA/K | 1 µA/K | Defines the output current change per Kelvin; identical sensitivity allows direct functional substitution in temperature-to-current conversion circuits. |
| Calibration Error (at 25°C) | ±0.5°C (max) | ±0.5°C (max) | Determines absolute accuracy at room temperature; matching error specs means both parts meet the same initial accuracy budget. |
| Operating Temperature Range | -55°C to +150°C | -55°C to +150°C | Defines the environmental envelope; identical ranges ensure interchangeability across military and industrial temperature applications. |
| Nonlinearity | ±0.3°C (max, over full range) | ±0.3°C (max, over full range) | Affects accuracy across the temperature span; equal nonlinearity guarantees comparable performance in wide-range sensing. |
| Supply Voltage Range | +4 V to +30 V | +4 V to +30 V | Determines compatibility with system power rails; identical ranges allow drop-in replacement without supply redesign. |
| Output Current Range | 298.2 µA at 25°C (nominal) | 298.2 µA at 25°C (nominal) | Sets the absolute current at reference temperature; matching nominal output ensures identical signal scaling in readout circuitry. |
| Qualification / Screening | Commercial/industrial grade | MIL-STD-883B qualified | Indicates reliability screening level; the /883B suffix denotes full military screening, which matters for high-reliability and defense applications. |
| Package | TO-52 (metal can) | TO-52 (metal can) | Determines PCB footprint and thermal mounting; identical packages allow physical interchangeability. |

Frequently asked questions
What are the primary differences between the AD590KF and AD590MF/883B temperature transducers?
The AD590KF is a commercial-grade two-terminal current-output temperature transducer specified over the 0°C to +70°C temperature range, supplied in a TO-52 metal can. The AD590MF/883B is the military-grade version of the same transducer, specified over the full -55°C to +125°C operating temperature range and screened to MIL-STD-883B requirements. Both devices produce an output current of 1 µA/K and operate from a supply voltage of 4 V to 30 V.
Are the AD590KF and AD590MF/883B electrically interchangeable in an existing design?
Yes, both devices share the same functional architecture: a two-terminal current source with an output of 1 µA/K, a linearity error of ±0.5°C maximum (K grade) over the rated range, and a supply range of 4 V to 30 V. However, the AD590MF/883B is guaranteed and tested over the extended -55°C to +125°C range, whereas the AD590KF is specified only from 0°C to +70°C. Substitution is valid only when the application's operating temperature range falls within the K-grade limits.
What is the accuracy and linearity specification of the AD590KF versus the AD590MF/883B?
Both the AD590KF and AD590MF/883B are K-grade devices with a maximum nonlinearity of ±0.5°C over their respective specified temperature ranges. The AD590KF is calibrated at 25°C with a maximum error of ±0.5°C, while the AD590MF/883B is specified with the same ±0.5°C maximum calibration error at 25°C but is additionally tested and guaranteed across the full military temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.
What package and pin configuration do the AD590KF and AD590MF/883B use?
Both devices are supplied in the TO-52 hermetic metal can package with two terminals (plus case). The package is a three-pin TO-52 outline where the two active terminals are the current output and the positive supply; the case is electrically connected to the positive supply terminal. The AD590MF/883B is additionally marked and screened per MIL-STD-883B, but the physical package and pinout are identical to the AD590KF.
What supply voltage range is required for the AD590KF and AD590MF/883B?
Both devices operate from a supply voltage of 4 V to 30 V. The output current is nominally 1 µA/K, so at 25°C (298.15 K) the output is approximately 298.15 µA. The device is a current source, so the output current is independent of supply voltage variations within the specified 4 V to 30 V range, provided the voltage compliance of the output node is maintained.
Does the AD590MF/883B meet MIL-STD-883B screening requirements that the AD590KF does not?
Yes. The AD590MF/883B suffix "/883B" indicates that the device is processed and screened in accordance with MIL-STD-883B, Method 5004 (class B), which includes additional burn-in, temperature cycling, and electrical testing beyond the standard commercial flow used for the AD590KF. The AD590KF is a standard commercial grade and is not screened to MIL-STD-883B.
Can the AD590KF be used as a drop-in replacement for the AD590MF/883B in a military application?
No. The AD590KF is specified only over 0°C to +70°C and is not screened to MIL-STD-883B, so it does not meet the -55°C to +125°C operating range or the reliability screening requirements of the AD590MF/883B. For military or high-reliability applications requiring the extended temperature range and MIL-STD-883B qualification, the AD590MF/883B must be used.
What is the output current transfer function of the AD590KF and AD590MF/883B?
Both devices are two-terminal current-output transducers with a transfer function of 1 µA/K. The output current is proportional to absolute temperature, so at 0°C (273.15 K) the output is approximately 273.15 µA, at 25°C (298.15 K) approximately 298.15 µA, and at 100°C (373.15 K) approximately 373.15 µA. This transfer function is identical for both the AD590KF and AD590MF/883B.
