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 type of sensors is the temperature sensor. Temperature measurement is of critical importance in applications like HVAC systems, boiler systems, medical applications, automotives, 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 TMP102AIDRLT?
The TMP102AIDRLT is a low power digital temperature sensor developed by Texas Instruments. This high accuracy sensor is ideal for applications where NTC/NPC thermistor replacement is required. This digital sensor does not need external components for signal conditioning and calibration. The sensors exhibit a highly linear temperature characteristic and do not require complex calculations or lookup tables for temperature derivation. The IC also features a 12-bit on-board ADC. The device package has significantly smaller footprint which render it ideal for space constrained applications. The production units for this sensor are NIST-traceable and qualify the ISO/IEC 17025 qualification. This general purpose digital temperature sensor is ideal for use in a wide range of industrial, commercial and consumer applications.
