TMP36 Low Voltage Temperature sensor

Description The TMP36 is a low voltage, precision temperature sensor that provides an analog voltage output proportional to the temperature it senses. It is commonly used in applications where accuracy and low power consumption are important factors. The sensor has a wide operating voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V, which makes it compatible with a variety of microcontrollers and single-board computers. The output voltage is linearly proportional to the temperature, with a sensitivity of 10 mV per degree Celsius. The TMP36 has an accuracy of ±1°C at room temperature and a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. It also has a low self-heating capability, which helps to minimize the temperature error caused by the sensor’s own temperature. The sensor is small and easy to use, with three pins for power, ground, and output. It is housed in a small TO-92 package, which makes it ideal for space-constrained applications.
