The TSic™ temperature sensor IC family are fully tested and calibrated sensors with absolute measurement accuracy on delivery – no further calibration needed. The TSic™ combines outstanding accuracy with long term stability, yet it is very simple to use. The TSic™ series is specifically designed for high performance, cost-effective solutions for sensing temperature in building automation, automotive, industrial, office automation, white goods and low-power/mobile applications. TSic™ 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. The TSic™ series includes ICs with two linear analog signal output options, such as standard 0 to 1Vout (Supply voltage (V+) = 3.0V to 5.5V) or ratiometric (10~90% of supply voltage); or the digital serial output signal for interfacing with microcontrollers.
