Applications require high accuracy over a variety of temperatures, such as thermostats (-20 to +45°C), personal computers (+85°C) and industrial/automotive (+125°C), have a solution with Microchip Technology’s MCP9808 silicon temperature sensor. The sensor’s ±0.5° accuracy and 12-bit resolution are among its system-oriented features. The 12-bit Resolution provides 0.0625°C for the least significant bit in a digital system.
Thermal shutdown and temperature monitoring/alert features allow the sensor to help adjust the real-time power utilization in applications from residential HVAC systems to industrial equipment. The shutdown feature reduces power consumption in both line and battery-powered systems. In addition, the critical-temperature alert can increase the system’s life by preventing excessive
operating temperatures.
The sensor is available in MSOP and 2×3-mm DFN 8-pin packages.
