Microchip | TC72-5.0MUA

Microchip Technology is a leading innovator and supplier of high performance and high quality embedded solutions and microcontrollers; related non-volatile memory products; and a broad analog product line focusing on power management, thermal management, linear and mixed-signal solutions.

Temperature sensing is critical to a growing number of consumer, automotive, and industrial applications. Microchip’s digital temperature sensors are ideal choice for implementing temperature system management schemes in a variety of applications.

T72 - Digital Temperature Sensor with SPI™ Interface

TC72 is a digital temperature sensor capable of reading temperatures from -55°C to +125°C. The sensor features a simple, SPI compatible  serial interface that allows communication with a host controller or other peripherals. The TC72 does not require any additional external components.

Temperature data is measured from an integrated temperature sensor and converted to a 10 bit digital word with a Sigma Delta ADC. The temperature resolution is 0.25°C per bit.

The TC72 can be used either in a continuous temperature conversion mode or a one-shot conversion mode. The continuous conversion mode measures the temperature approximately every 150 msec and stores the data in the temperature registers. In contrast, the one-shot mode performs a single temperature measurement and returns to the power saving shut down mode.

The TC72 features high temperature accuracy, ease-of-use and is therefore the ideal solution for implementing thermal management in a variety of systems. The device also features a shutdown mode for low power operation.

The TC72-5.0MUA is a MSOP Digital Temperature Sensor with SPI™ Interface with accuracy optimized for 5.0V that comes in a 100 piece tube.
