Digital temperature sensor offers highly accurate temperature data

The TE Connectivity TSYS03 is a miniature digital temperature sensor that offers factory calibrated, highly accurate temperature data. The device, available now from TTI Europe, comprises a durable temperature sensor element, A/D converter, and microcontroller to manage data communications through an I²C interface.

The sensor is available in a TDFN8 or an XDFN6 package to simply adapt to the space available on a PC board. These packages are extremely small and have low thermal mass, which offers a quick response to temperature changes. The operating and measurement temperature range is -40C to +125C with a resolution of ±0.01C. Operating and sleep currents are remarkably low, making this sensor excellent for mobile and battery power applications.

Typical application areas include industrial control, replacement of precision RTDs, thermistors and NTCs, heating/cooling systems, hvac, medical probes and patient monitoring, weather stations, fitness watches and wearables, and consumer appliances.
