Measurement Specialties has released a family of compact digital temperature sensors that easily integrates into a variety of industrial control, HVAC/R and heating/cooling systems. TSYS02 combines low power, high accuracy in an ultra-small TDFN8 package.

The series performance-cost ratio makes these sensors suitable for automotive and medical applications, and the SMT-compatible package enables the sensors to be used in high volume applications for on-circuit temperature control. Designed with ease-of-use and flexibility in mind, these fully-calibrated sensors come in three different data output options:

16-bit temperature sensing resolution combined with the low power and highly accurate characteristics make these sensors cost-effective replacements for thermistors, NTCs (negative temperature coefficients) and RTDs (resistance temperature detectors). Available in a compact TDFN8 surface mount package, the TSYS02 measures 2.5 x 2.5 mm, while drawing a maximum of 12.5 A. Operating temperature range is -40C to +125C. Every TSYS02 is factory-calibrated to provide a high accuracy of 0.2C. Custom calibration is also available to meet specific application needs. Pricing for a TSYS02 is $1.85 (10,000).
