MIC281 Datasheet Low-cost Thermal Sensor

Manufacturer: Microchip Technology

Overview: MIC281 Low-Cost Thermal Sensor.

General Description

The MIC281 is a digital thermal sensor capable of measuring the temperature of a remote PN junction.

It is optimized for applications favoring low cost and small size.

The remote junction may be an inexpensive modity transistor, e.g., 2N3906, or an embedded thermal diode such as found in Intel Pentium® II/III/IV CPUs, AMD Athlon® CPUs, and Xilinx Virtex® FPGAs.
