Sensors play a very important role in industrial and consumer electronic equipment. They serve as the eyes and ears of any electronic system. There are hundreds of different types of sensors available for a wide range of applications. One of the most widely used types of sensors is the temperature sensor. Temperature measurement is of critical importance in applications like HVAC systems, boiler systems, medical applications, automotives, power supplies and industrial control systems. With the advent of IOT (internet of things) the importance of sensors has increased manifold. Sensors play a crucial role in the implementation of any IOT system. In the coming future temperature as well as other sensors are going to be rampantly used in IOT and smart home applications.
What is MCP9808-E/MS？
The MCP9808-E/MS is a high accuracy digital temperature sensor from MICROCHIP Corporation. This sensor chip converts temperature in the range of -20 to 100 degrees, into a digital word with high accuracy. The device consists of user programmable registers which can be used for temperature alerts, critical output alerts, shut down and low power modes. The sensor can be interfaced to a microcontroller using 400 kHz 2-wire SMBus / I2C interface. Multiple temperature sensors can be placed on a single bus which makes it possible to control them using a single processor. All of these features make this device ideal for high accuracy, multi-zone temperature monitoring applications.
