M TC74 Tiny Serial Digital Thermal Sensor Features General Description * Digital Temperature Sensing in SOT-23-5 or TO-220 Packages * Outputs Temperature as an 8-Bit Digital Word * Simple SMBus/I2CTM Serial Port Interface * Solid-State Temperature Sensing: - 2C (max.) Accuracy from +25C to +85C - 3C (max.) Accuracy from 0C to +125C * Supply Voltage of 2.7V to 5.5V * Low Power: - 200 A (typ.) Operating Current - 5 A (typ.) Standby Mode Current The TC74 is a serially accessible, digital temperature sensor particularly suited for low cost and small formfactor applications. Temperature data is converted from the onboard thermal sensing element and made available as an 8-bit digital word. Applications * Thermal Protection for Hard Disk Drives and other PC Peripherals * PC Card Devices for Notebook Computers * Low Cost Thermostat Controls * Power Supplies * Thermistor Replacement Package Types Communication with the TC74 is accomplished via a 2wire SMBus/I2C compatible serial port. This bus also can be used to implement multi-drop/multi-zone monitoring. The SHDN bit in the CONFIG register can be used to activate the low power Standby mode. Temperature resolution is 1C. Conversion rate is a nominal 8 samples/sec. During normal operation, the quiescent current is 200 A (typ). During standby operation, the quiescent current is 5 A (typ). Small size, low installed cost and ease of use make the TC74 an ideal choice for implementing thermal management in a variety of systems.
