The MCP9800 is a high-accuracy digital temperature sensor designed for a wide temperature range of -55¬8C to +125¬8C. It features a temperature-to-digital converter with a resolution that can be user-selected from 9 to 12 bits. The sensor provides an accuracy of ¬±0.5¬8C at +25¬8C, ¬±1¬8C from -10¬8C to +85¬8C, and up to ¬±3¬8C across its full range. It operates within a voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V and consumes a typical operating current of 200 ¬µA, with a shutdown current of just 1 ¬µA. The MCP9800 utilizes a 2-wire I¬=C/SMBus compatible interface, allowing multiple devices to be connected on a single bus. It includes programmable registers for configuring temperature alerts and hysteresis limits, making it suitable for applications in personal computers, mobile phones, and general-purpose temperature monitoring. The sensor is available in compact packages such as SOT-23-5, MSOP-8, and SOIC-8, enhancing its versatility for various designs.
The MCP9800 is a digital temperature sensor capable of reading temperatures from -55°C to +125°C. Temperature data is measured from an integrated temperature sensor and converted to digital word with a user selectable 9 to 12-bit Sigma Delta Analog to Digital Converter. The MCP9800 notifies the host controller when the ambient temperature exceeds a user programmed set point. The ALERT output is programmable as either a simple comparator for thermostat operation or as a temperature event interrupt. Communication with the sensor is accomplished via a two-wire bus that is compatible with industry standard protocols. This permits reading the current temperature, programming the set point and hysteresis and configuring the device. Small physical size, low installed cost and ease of use make the MCP9800 an ideal choice for implementing sophisticated temperature system management schemes in a variety of applications.
