The Si705x Digital Temperature Sensors offer industry-leading low power consumption and high accuracy across

the entire operating voltage and temperature range. These monolithic CMOS ICs feature a band-gap temperature

sensor element, an analog-to-digital converter with up to 14-bit resolution, signal processing, calibration data, and

their accuracy over a wide temperature and voltage range, while consuming very little current.

The temperature sensors are factory-calibrated and the calibration data is stored in the on-chip non-volatile

memory. This ensures that the sensors are fully interchangeable, with no recalibration or software changes

required.

at up to 400 kHz. Requiring just 195nA of average current when sampled once per second, the Si705x can operate

for several years with just a single coin cell battery.

The Si705x devices offer an accurate, low-power, factory-calibrated digital solution ideal for measuring

temperature in applications ranging from HVAC/R and asset tracking to industrial and consumer platforms.
