Sensirion, a leading manufacturer of humidity and temperature sensors, has unveiled a new high-accuracy digital temperature sensor, the STS3x.
The new sensor is based on the same chip as the SHT3x humidity sensors and comes in a tiny eight-pin DFN pack-age measuring only 2.5 X 2.5 mm2 with a height of 0.9 mm. Its tiny size and the wide supply voltage range of 2.4 V to 5.5 V allow for integration in a great variety of applications.
The sensor delivers a ‘remarkably high’ accuracy of +/–0.3°C over an extensive temperature range combined with low power consumption – an especially important consideration for battery-operated devices.
