Description
The TC72 is a digital CMOS silicon temperature sensor that provides an accurate digital temperature measurement. Data is converted from an internal diode temperature-sensing element to a digital format that can be directly interfaced to a microcontroller. The TC72 sensor offers many system-level advantages, including the integration of the sensor and signalconditioning circuitry in a small integrated circuit (IC)package. The TC72 also has an One-shot Conversion mode, which performs a single temperature measurement and then goes into power-saving Shutdown mode. The One-shot Conversion mode makes this sensor a good choice for power- critical, portable applications.
