10 mV/°C analog output — the scaling factor that sets your ADC reading
The MCP9700T-H/LT: The output voltage is ratiometric to the supply — if the rail drifts, the temperature reading drifts with it.
Accuracy budget — ±2 °C nominal, wider tolerance at the extremes
In the 0 °C to 70 °C band the accuracy is ±2 °C maximum. The local sensing range covers -40 °C to 150 °C, matching the operating temperature of the sensor itself. That puts it in the same band as automotive under-hood and industrial process monitoring applications where the ambient sees both cold starts and hot soak.
SC-70-5 footprint — board-fit for tight layouts
It fits the same footprint as the industry-standard 5-lead SOT-23 but saves about 40 % board area — useful when the sensor sits near the edge of a multi-layer PCB or inside a potted module. Available in Tape & Reel for automated pick-and-place at volume, or Cut Tape for prototype and low-quantity builds. No special moisture sensitivity level is flagged in the standard listing — standard handling applies.
