TC72-3.3MUA (MICROCHIP)

The TC72-3.3MUA is a Digital Temperature Sensor with SPI interface. It is capable of reading temperatures from -55 to +125°C. This sensor features a serial interface that allows communication with a host controller or other peripherals. The TC72 interface is compatible with the SPI protocol and does not require any additional external components. However, it is recommended that a decoupling capacitor of 0.01 to 0.1µF be provided between the VDD and GND pins. The TC72 can be used either in a continuous temperature conversion mode or a one-shot conversion mode. The continuous conversion mode measures the temperature approximately every 150ms and stores the data in the temperature registers. In contrast, the one-shot mode performs a single temperature measurement and returns to the power saving shutdown mode.
