Ultra-Low-Power Temperature Sensor

Enabling autonomous temperature sensing

Monitoring temperature has become a part of daily life. Temperature sensors are everywhere, in our buildings, vehicles, cities and work places. They measure temperature reliably and more accurately than ever before. Microdul’s current temperature sensor has a standby current of typically 20nA and an average current of just 80nA with one measurement per minute. This kind of performance allows long battery life and
autonomous (energy harvesting) applications to be considered. Our next generation sensor has almost zero (5nA) standby current. The MS1088D is a fully integrated, tested and calibrated digital temperature sensor with a typical measurement accuracy of 0.3 °C between 10 and 40 °C. Its temperature range is from -40 °C to 120 °C with a resolution of 0.05 °C.
