Tiny Serial Digital Thermal Sensor
Features
Digital Temperature Sensing in SOT-23-5 Package Outputs Temperature as an 8-Bit Digital Word Simple Serial Port Interface Solid-State Temperature Sensing: - ±2°C Accuracy from +25°C to +85°C - ±3°C Accuracy from 0°C to +125°C 3.0 and 5.5V Operating Range Low Power: - 200µA Operating - 5µA Standby Mode
General Description
The TC74 is a serially accessible digital temperature sensor particularly suited for low cost and small formfactor applications. Temperature data is converted from the onboard thermal sensing element and made available as an 8-bit digital word. Communication with the TC74 is accomplished via a 2wire SMBus/I2C™ compatible serial port. This bus also can be used to implement multi-drop/multi-zone monitoring. The SHDN bit in the CONFIG register can be used to activate the low power Standby mode. Temperature resolution is 1°C. Conversion rate is a nominal 8 samples/sec. Power consumption is only 200µA typ, (5µA Standby, typ). Small size, low installed cost, and ease of use make the TC74 an ideal choice for implementing thermal management in a variety of systems.
