TMP36-PT7

Temperature Sensors - Analog and Digital Output

Temperature sensors, also known as thermometers, are devices designed to detect and measure temperature. The most common types are analog and digital output, with the latter providing a more accurate representation of temperatures. The TMP36-PT7 is one such digital output temperature sensor that is used in a variety of applications.

The TMP36-PT7 is an accurate for measuring both indoor and outdoor temperatures. It includes a low-power analog-to-digital converter, giving it a 1-degree resolution and an accuracy of ±0.3°C. This makes the TMP36-PT7 an ideal choice for applications requiring high accuracy temperature measurements. The TMP36-PT7 also has wide operating temperature range from -20°C to +150°C.

The TMP36-PT7 is commonly used in environmental monitoring applications such as HVAC systems and industrial processes. Its digital output also makes it suitable for measuring and controlling temperatures in a variety of electronic and mechanical devices.

The TMP36-PT7 is relatively easy to use and can be connected directly to most microcontroller boards. It has an operating voltage range from 2.7 to 5.5VDC and does not require any additional external components. Moreover, it has an internal temperature sensor, which eliminates the need for external thermistors or RTDs.

The TMP36-PT7 has three pins - VCC, GND, and OUT. VCC is the power input and should be connected to 3.0 to 5.5VDC. The GND pin should be connected to the ground of the microcontroller board and the OUT pin should be connected to an analog pin. When a voltage is applied to the TMP36-PT7, the OUT pin will produce a voltage that is linearly proportional to the ambient temperature. This voltage can then be used to calculate the temperature using the following formula:

Temperature (°C) = [(VOUT - 0.5V) * 100] / 10

The TMP36-PT7 also has a digital output pin, which produces a digital signal of a known frequency that can be used to measure temperature within a certain range. The digital output has a wide temperature range from -25°C to +125°C with a resolution of 0.0625°C and a response time of 0.25s. The digital output can be connected directly to a microcontroller for temperature control applications.

The TMP36-PT7 is a versatile, high-accuracy digital temperature sensor that is suitable for a wide range of applications. It is easy to use, requires minimal external components, and is capable of providing accurate digital outputs. By taking advantage of this versatile and accurate temperature sensor, designers can create advanced temperature-controlled systems with ease.
