The TSic temperature sensor IC family contains fully tested and calibrated sensors with absolute measurement accuracy on delivery. Specifically designed for high performance, cost-effective solutions the TSic series are used for sensing temperature in building automation, automotive, industrial, office automation, white goods and low-power/mobile applications.
The TSic series employs a high precision bandgap reference with PTAT output; a low-power, precision ADC; and an on-chip DSP core with EEPROM to precisely calibrate the output temperature signal. They include ICs with two linear analog signal output options, such as standard 0~1Volt or ratiometric (10~90% of supply voltage); or the digital serial output signal for interfacing with microcontrollers. The TSic 506 is the most accurate temperature sensor in the world (reaches < 0.1°C accuracy, resolution 0.034°C) and has a typical current consumption of only 45µA which leads to typically less than 0.07°C temperature reading error due to self-heating of the device.
