Low-power linear active thermistor IC Linear active thermistor ICs are sensors whose output voltage is directly proportional to the measured temperature. The MCP9701 can accurately measure temperatures from -10°C to +125°C. The output of the MCP9701 is calibrated to a slope of 19.53 mV/°C and has a DC offset of 400 mV. The offset means negative temperatures can be read without the need for a negative supply. The MCP9701 is housed in space-saving SC-70, SOT-23 and TO-92 packages, making it ideal for space-critical and cost-effective applications. Features
