The LTC

2996 is a high accuracy temperature sensor
with adjustable overtemperature and undertemperature
thresholds and open drain alert outputs. It converts the
temperature of an external diode sensor or its own die
temperature to an analog output voltage while rejecting
errors due to noise and series resistance. The measured
temperature is compared against upper and lower limits
set with resistive dividers. If a threshold is exceeded, the
device communicates an alert by pulling low the corre-
spondent open drain logic output.
The LTC2996 gives ±1°C accurate temperature results
using commonly available NPN or PNP transistors or
temperature diodes built into modern digital devices. A
1.8V reference output simplifies threshold programming
and can be used as an ADC reference input.
The LTC2996 provides an accurate, low power solution
for temperature monitoring in a compact 3mm × 3mm
DFN package.
