Digital Temperature Sensors have SMT-compatible package.

Press Release Summary:




Model TSYS02D sensors integrate into digital interface bus systems while TSYS02P units feature PWM for integration into control units and TSYS02S sensors have Sigma Delta Modulation for use with analog circuits. All units feature 16-bit temperature sensing resolution. Drawing maximum of 12.5 μA, sensors operate over temperature range of -40 to +125°C and are accurate to ±0.2°C. Products are available in 2.5 mm² TDFN8 SMT package.



Original Press Release:



Ultra-Small, Low Power Digital Temperature Sensors



Measurement Specialties (NASDAQ: MEAS) has recently released the TSYS02 family of compact digital temperature sensors that easily integrates into a variety of industrial control, HVAC/R and heating/cooling systems.



The series' outstanding performance-cost ratio makes these sensors ideal for automotive and medical applications, and the SMT-compatible package enables the sensors to be used in high volume applications for on-circuit temperature control.



Designed with ease-of-use and flexibility in mind, these fully-calibrated sensors come in three different data output options:

TSYS02D: I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) for integration into digital interface bus systems;

TSYS02P: PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) for integration into simple control units;

TSYS02S: SDM (Sigma Delta Modulation) for integration into analog circuitries.



The 16-bit temperature sensing resolution combined with the low power and highly accurate characteristics make these sensors cost-effective replacements for thermistors, NTCs (negative temperature coefficients) and RTDs (resistance temperature detectors).



Available in an ultra-compact TDFN8 surface mount package, the TSYS02 measures only 2.5 mm x 2.5 mm, while drawing a maximum of 12.5 μA. Operating temperature range is -40°C to +125°C.



Every TSYS02 is factory-calibrated to provide a high accuracy of ±0.2°C. Custom calibration is also available to meet specific application needs.



Pricing for a TSYS02 is $1.85 (US) per unit in quantities of 10,000. Delivery time is dependent upon quantity ordered.
