Serial Output Temperature Sensor Family

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.
