That ±3°C at the extremes is the figure to carry into your system thermal management margin — the typical number is fine for trend monitoring, but the worst-case sets the overtemperature shutdown threshold.
Supply flexibility and interface
Supply range from 1.7V to 5.5V lets this sensor sit on 1.8V, 3.3V, or 5V rails without an external regulator. The I²C/SMBus output keeps the bus wiring to two lines — SCL and SDA — and the programmable resolution and one-shot mode let you trade conversion time for noise rejection on a per-read basis.
8-SOIC footprint and active lifecycle
Housed in an 8-SOIC package (0.154" wide, 3.90 mm body), surface-mount, supplied in tube.
