TSic™ 206 is a rapid response, low-cost temperature sensor IC with digital output launched by Texas Instruments. It adopts single-wire 11-bit digital serial signal output, and the communication range exceeds 10 meters. Its resolution is 0.1°C, the accuracy is ±0.5°C over a span of 80°C, the measurement range is –50 to +150 ºC, the signal read-out interval is 0.1s (other rates are available on request), the supply voltage is 3.0V to 5.5V, and the packaging has 8-pin SOIC, 3-pin e-line, chip on Flex, and die on Wafer. The quiescent current is only 45µA, which can minimize self-heating and power consumption. This temperature sensor IC adopts advanced mixed-signal CMOS technology, integrates precision temperature sensing bandgap reference with proportional-to-absolute-temperature (PTAT) output, digital signal processor (DSP) core, and electrically erasable memory (EEPROM), which can quickly respond to temperature changes and provide accurate measurement data.
The TSic 206 is a low‑cost, precision temperature sensor IC with a single‑wire 11‑bit digital serial output. It offers a resolution of 0.1 °C, accuracy of +0.5 °C over an 80 °C span, and a wide measurement range from –50 °C to +150 °C. The device operates from 3.0 V to 5.5 V and can communicate over distances greater than 10 m, making it suitable for building automation, automotive, industrial, and low‑power applications.
The sensor is available in several packages, including an 8‑pin SOIC, a 3‑pin e‑line, chip‑on‑flex, and wafer‑level options. It features a low quiescent current of about 45 µA typ. and includes on‑chip EEPROM for calibration. Contact information for ZMD sales and distribution partners is provided for further support.
