It is available in several package options and can be used in applications where a low-power, high-resolution temperature sensors is needed. The MCP9804T-E/MC operates in three modes - Sleep, Shutdown, and Standby, which allows for flexible operation in a wide range of environments.

Application Field

The MCP9804T-E/MC is suitable for use in a variety of applications, such as HVAC, medical device, automotive, and industrial automation. It can also be used in smart home devices, wearable electronics, and consumer electronics. It provides a precise temperature reading with low power consumption, which makes it ideal for these applications.

Working Principle

The MCP9804T-E/MC measures temperatures from -55°C to +125°C in 0.25°C increments. Its precision levels are largely determined by the device’s built-in temperature calibration. It also has an in-built temperature sensor, a Digital Output (MCP9804T-E/MC-DO) or an Analog Output (MCP9804T-E/MC-AO) option. The Digital Output provides a digital output signal proportional to the temperature based on a scale of 10 µV/°C. The Analog Output provides a voltage output proportional to the temperature, with a range of -10 mV/°C to 10 mV/°C.

The MCP9804T-E/MC also has an EEPROM for storing temperature coefficients, calibration data, and other settings. This accelerates the development process and reduces cost. Additionally, it has a Wide Input Voltage Range (2.7V - 3.6V) which allows it to operate at lower voltages.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the MCP9804T-E/MC is a high-precision, low-power digital temperature sensor. It is designed for use in a variety of applications, including HVAC, medical device, automotive, and industrial automation. It has an on-chip EEPROM for storing temperature coefficients, calibration data, and other settings, as well as a wide input voltage range. Additionally, it is available with two output options: a Digital Output or an Analog Output. This makes it ideal for a number of applications.
