Brief Description
The TSic
TM
temperature sensor IC family are fully test-
ed and calibrated sensors with absolute measurement
accuracy on delivery no further calibration needed.
The TSic
TM
combines outstanding accuracy with long
term stability, yet it is very simple to use.
The TSic
TM
series is specifically designed for high per-
formance, cost-effective solutions for sensing temper-
ature in building automation, automotive, industrial,
office automation, white goods and low-power/mobile
applications.
TSic
TM
employs a high precision bandgap reference
with PTAT output; a low-power, precision ADC; and
an on-chip DSP core with EEPROM to precisely cali-
brate the output temperature signal. The TSic
TM
series
includes ICs with two linear analog signal output
options, such as standard 0~1Vout (V+ = 2.97V to
5.5V) or ratiometric (10~90% of V+; i.e., 0.5~4.5Vout
@ V+ = 5V) or the digital serial output signal for
interfacing with
P controllers.
Benefits
Several accuracy classes available with 100%
upward compatibility
No calibration by customer needed; absolute
calibration specified
Simple to integrate, reducing cost and time for
application-development
Fast data measurement optimal for temper-
ature control
Packages for standard SMD, THT or applica-
tion specific assembly
Miniaturized solutions with Bare-Chip (COB,
COF, CSP*) or e-line packages very fast
response time for COF
Very low power consumption ideal for
mobile and standard applications
Field reconfiguration/recalibration option
available (high volume customers only)
Outstanding long term stability
* COB: Chip-On-Board; COF: Chip-On-Flex; CSP: Chip Scale Packaging

1 With supply voltage 2.7V - 2.97V, accuracy is slightly
reduced; below 2.7V, functionality is unknown.
2 Output signal is limited to this ambient temperature (applies
to calibration, offset and gain).
