Additional Details

The LM95241CIMM measures temperature using an internal bandgap temperature sensor. The temperature data is converted to a digital format and transmitted over the I2C/SMBus interface. The integrated hardware limit comparators can be programmed to trigger an alarm when the temperature exceeds a specified threshold. The device operates from a supply voltage of 3.0V to 3.6V and consumes very little power. It is available in an 8-pin MSOP package.
