The LM70CILD-3 is a precision integrated-circuit temperature sensor that offers an excellent blend of accuracy, simplicity, and digital output from Texas Instruments. This high-performance temperature sensor provides a 10-bit digital temperature reading, ensuring precise temperature measurement with a resolution of 0.25°C.

Designed to operate over a wide temperature range of -55°C to +150°C, the LM70CILD-3 is suitable for a diverse array of applications, from industrial controls to mobile devices. Its low operating supply voltage of 2.65V to 5.5V makes it ideal for battery-powered systems, and its low supply current of 9μA ensures minimal power consumption, further extending battery life in portable applications.

The sensor communicates via a SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface), allowing for easy interfacing with microcontrollers and other digital systems. The LM70CILD-3's small form factor is encapsulated in an 8-lead MSOP (Mini Small Outline Package), which is not only space-efficient but also offers excellent thermal responsiveness.

Featuring a selectable shutdown mode, the LM70CILD-3 allows users to power down the device for additional power saving, making it an excellent choice for energy-sensitive applications. Moreover, its high level of integration requires no external components, facilitating rapid design cycles and simplifying the product development process.
