Single chip 24 bit digital temperature sensor for SMT assembly
Variohm EuroSensor is adding a new range of single chip digital temperature sensors for SMT assembly to its range of temperature measurement products. The TSYS01 series from Measurement Specialities includes a factory-calibrated temperature sensing chip and a 24-bit ADC to provide highly accurate and high-resolution temperature information when interfaced to a microcontroller via its SPI or I2C interface. The high-accuracy temperature sensor has an operating temperature range of -40degC to +125degC, with a precision of +/- 0.1degC over -5degC to +50degC. The QFN16-sized device includes an additional input for a remote temperature sensing detector, with temperature range adjustment on request.
With low current consumption and low self-heating, the TSYS01 is aimed at applications in industrial control, HVACR and heating and cooling systems, as well as automotive, medical, business and consumer equipment applications where precision temperature measurement is becoming increasingly integrated into products.
Variohm EuroSensor provides complete pre-sale and post-sale application support for the Measurement Specialities range, which includes sensors for temperature, pressure, force, humidity, torque and vibration and more. A detailed 18-page application note PDF document for the TSYS01, including specifications, installation, interfacing and programming code, is available on request.
Variohm EuroSensor also designs, develops and sources a broad range of position, load, force, and other sensor technologies for demanding measurement applications throughout industry, agriculture, construction, autosports, and research.
