Digital Temperature Sensor provides ±0.1°C accuracy.

Press Release Summary:




Encapsulating temperature sensing chip and 24-bit ADC in QFN16 package, Model TSYS01 is designed for industrial control, HVACR, and heating/cooling systems. Optimal performance is achieved through use of stabilized, noise-free power supply with placement of ceramic capacitor close to supply pins. Drawing less than 12.5 µA during normal operation and less than 0.14 µA on standby, Model TSYS01 operates from -40 to +125°C and can be embedded in most electronic applications.



Original Press Release:



TSYS01 Digital Temperature Sensor



Measurement Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEAS) Model TSYS01 digital temperature
sensor encapsulates a temperature sensing chip and a 24-bit ADC in a QFN16
package. This new technology provides on-board factory calibration coefficients that
provide highly accurate temperature information accompanied by high measurement
resolution. For improved performance specific to the application, custom calibration is
available upon request. Integration with microcontrollers is achieved through an I2C or
SPI interface.

This digital temperature sensor is specifically designed for industrial control, HVACR
and heating/cooling systems. Optimal performance is achieved through the use of a
stabilized, noise-free power supply with the placement of a ceramic capacitor close to
the supply pins, and keeping supply lines as short as possible.

The TSYS01 is easily embedded in most electronic applications as it draws < 12.5μA
during normal operations and < 0.14μA on standby. Its broad operating range (-40ºC to
+125ºC), small package and high accuracy (±0.1ºC) makes it an ideal replacement for
Thermistors and NTCs. Furthermore, it can be mated to an external element should that
prove most cost-effective. For best results, customers should proceed according to
IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D (Pb-Free Process) when using solder reflow process.

Measurement Specialties, Inc. designs and manufactures sensors and sensor-based
systems. The company produces a wide variety of sensors and transducers to measure
precise ranges of physical characteristics such as pressure, force, vibration, torque,
position, temperature, humidity, fluid properties, mass air flow and photo optics.
Measurement Specialties uses multiple advanced technologies - including piezoresistive,
electro-optic, electro-magnetic, variable reluctance, magneto resistive, digital
encoders, thermistors, thermocouples, RTDs, capacitive, resonant beam, application
specific integrated circuits (ASICs), micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS),
piezoelectric polymers and strain gauges to engineer sensors that operate accurately
and cost-effectively in customers' applications.
