The
ADT7301 is a 13-bit temperature-to-digital converter
in an SOT23 package. The converter provides ± 0.5°C
measurement accuracy from 0° to 70°C; it is fully specified
for operation between –40° to 150°C. In addition to
its small footprint, the device’s low operating current
(1 µA) and wide supply range (2.7 to 5.5 V) make it
ideal for many low-power applications requiring precise
thermal measurement.

The
ADT7301 contains a flexible serial interface, which
allows easy interfacing to most microcontrollers. The
part is compatible with SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE protocols,
as well as digital signal processors (DSPs). The ADT7301
also offers a Standby mode for additional power savings.
The
combined features of accuracy, small size, and low power
make the ADT7301 ideal for many space-constrained applications,
including medical equipment, automotive equipment, cell
phones, hard disk drives, electronic test equipment,
thermostat controls, portable battery management, and
process control.
In
addition to the SOT23 package, the ADT7301 is available
in a 8-lead micro small outline package (MSOP). The
device costs $1.20 per unit in 1000-piece quantities.
