Microchip Launches 10 Multi-Channel Remote Temperature Sensors
18 Januar 2024 - 4:34PM
Thermal management is a critical aspect of automotive design, yet
compared to many other components, there is a noted lack of options
when it comes to multi-channel remote temperature sensors. To fill
this gap, Microchip Technology
(Nasdaq: MCHP) has
launched the
MCP998x family of 10
automotive-qualified remote temperature sensors. The MCP998x family
is one of the largest portfolios of automotive-grade multi-channel
temperature sensors in the industry and is designed for 1°C
accuracy at a wide operational temperature range. The device family
includes five sensors with shutdown temperature setpoints that are
designed not to be overwritten by software or maliciously disabled.
With up to five channels of monitoring and several alert and
shutdown options for security, this product family can support
systems that supervise more than one thermal element. The remote
sensors also integrate resistance error correction and beta
compensation, eliminating the need for additional configuration for
improved accuracy. Monitoring temperatures at multiple locations
with a single, integrated temperature sensor reduces board
complexity and size and simplifies design for a lowered bill of
material (BOM).
“This new family of remote temperature sensors is expanding
customer choice in a product category that, historically, has
offered limited options,” said Fanie Duvenhage, vice president of
Microchip’s mixed-signal and linear unit. “With 10 devices to
choose from, each offering better accuracy in very high temperature
applications and five with shutdown safety features, the MCP998x
family gives customers a broad range of automotive multi-channel
temperature sensors to choose from.”
More accurate where it counts, designed for 2.5°C accuracy up to
125°C, the MCP998x device family can be used at the high end of the
traditional temperature range where many competitors are
challenged. This high temperature tolerance makes them well-suited
for automotive applications where operating temperatures for
electronics is a major factor. The MCP998x sensors are designed to
support vehicle functions including HID lamps, advanced
driver-assistance system (ADAS), automotive servers, video
processing, infotainment systems, engine control, telematics and
body electronics such as seat control, lighting systems, mirror
control and power windows. Visit the website to learn more about
Microchip’s full portfolio of temperature
sensors.
Development ToolsTo enable easier design and
development, the MCP998x family is supported by the new
EV23P16A evaluation
board.
Pricing and AvailabilityThe MCP998x family of
multi-channel temperature sensors is available starting at $0.63
each in 10,000-unit quantities. For additional information and to
