Texas Instruments Temperature Sensor, Digital Output, Surface Mount, Serial-I2C, SMBus, ±1°C, 8 Pins

Texas Instrument's range of remote & local temperature sensors measure their own temperature and that of one or more external devices. Examples of external devices could be thermal diodes contained within microcontrollers, microprocessors or FPGAs, or diode-connected transistors.

The remote & local temperature sensors have extra features to enhance temperature measurement such as beta compensation, series resistance cancellation, programmable non-ideality factor, programmable resolution, programmable threshold limits, minimum and maximum temperature monitors, diode fault detection and a temperature alert function.

Applications that are suitable for remote & local temperature sensor usage include telecommunications and network infrastructure, thermal management within computer systems, electronic test equipment, office electronics, industrial and medical equipment and LCD/DLP®/LCOS projectors.
