ZMD’s High-accuracy IC Temp Sensors

by Editor on July 20, 2005

Dresden Germany and Melville NY USA — ZMD’s TSic family offers low-cost, calibrated, high-accuracy temperature sensor IC solutions with accuracies as small as 0.05 °C with single-wire 11-bit digital serial signal output compatible with state-of-the-art µP controllers. System-on-a-chip based on advanced mixed signal technology integrating precision temperature sensing bandgap reference with proportional to-absolute-temperature (PTAT) output, digital signal processor (DSP) core, and electrically erasable memory (EEPROM).


Additionally, typical power consumption of 45 µA is among lowest in the industry, allowing for portable device design solutions. Devices feature low quiescent current: <80µA at 25°C with 3.3V minimizes self-heating errors for applications such as wall-mounted thermostats.

The sensors available operate in the general range: 50°C to 150°C or -10°C to +60°C, according to model. They feature accuracy from 0.5°C down to 0.05°C acording to model and measurement range.

The sensors are available now in a variety of packaging options. These include SOP-8 (SOIC-8) and e-line (TO-92 compatible) packages. The chip size of 1.6 x 1.5 mm offers the smallest sensor design for calibrated chips for assembly as chip-on-board, chip-on-flex, and chip-scale packages.

Typical properties and models are:

Measurement Range from -50 °C to +150°C, resolution 0.1°C
Standard Accuracy: ±0.5°C at RT, ±1.0°C from 0°C to +40°C
TSic106WSB (SOP-8) TSic106WSB (e-line)

Standard Accuracy: ±0.5°C from +10°C to +90°C
TSic206WSB (SOP-8) TSic206WSB (e-line)

High Accuracy: ±0.3°C from +10°C to +90°C
TSic306WSB (SOP-8) TSic306WSB (e-line)

Measurement Range from -10 °C to +60°C, resolution 0.034°C
High Precision: ±0.1°C (100mK) from +5°C to +45°C
TSic506FSB (SOP-8) TSic506FSB (e-line)
