DESCRIPTION
Remote Temperature Readings with Digital
Filtering:
The LM95241 is a precision dual remote diode
temperature sensor (RDTS) that uses TI's TruTherm
0.03125 °C LSb with Filtering
technology. The 2-wire serial interface of the
12-bits Plus Sign or 13-bits Programmable
LM95241 is compatible with SMBus 2.0. The
