Serial Output Temperature Sensor Family The TC74 is a temperature sensor with an on-board thermal diode and an SMBus™ compatible interface. The TCN75 is a temperature sensor with an on-board thermal diode and a 2-wire serial interface. The TC72 and TC77 are temperature sensors with an on-board thermal diode and an SPI™ compatible interface. Microchip’s serial (digital) output temperature sensors offer excellent temperature accuracy (±0.5°C typical) with a very low operating current of less than 250 µA. Communication with the devices is accomplished via an industry standard SMBus or SPI compatible interface protocol. A standby mode is also available for further reducing the devices’ total current. All devices are offered in space saving packages and feature very fast temperature conversion times. Temperature resolution for the entire family ranges from 0.0625°C to 1°C. These temperature sensors are fully specified from 2.7V to 5.5V and allow temperature measurement over an extended -55°C to +125°C temperature range, (-40°C to +125°C for the TC74). Several features provided on select devices, address a broad application spectrum: interrupt output for thermal event alarm, external address pins for multi-drop capability, programmable trip point for maximum flexibility and small footprints for saving board space. High accuracy, low operating current, small size and ease of use make these devices ideal for implementing sophisticated thermal management schemes in a variety of systems. Typical applications include, PCs, servers, datacom equipment, hard drives, set-top boxes, storage equipment, consumer electronics, power supplies, communication devices, office electronics and amplifiers.
