±0.5°C accuracy across the industrial temperature band
The MCP9808T-E/MS: The test condition for the highest accuracy is -20°C to +100°C, covering the bulk of industrial and environmental monitoring applications. The 12-bit resolution provides a temperature reading granularity of 0.0625°C per LSB, sufficient for thermal management loops, data-logging, and threshold-based alerts without external signal conditioning.
I²C/SMBus interface with programmable limit and shutdown
Communication is over a standard I²C/SMBus serial interface, allowing direct connection to microcontrollers and SoCs without an ADC or level-shifter in most 2.7V to 5.5V systems. On-chip features include an output switch for alert signalling, programmable temperature limit registers, programmable resolution, and a shutdown mode that drops quiescent current for battery-powered or low-power sensor nodes.
8-MSOP package — board-fit for compact designs
Housed in an 8-MSOP package (3.00 mm width, 0.118" body), the MCP9808T-E/MS fits into space-constrained layouts alongside the sensing target. The supplier device package is specified as 8-MSOP, matching the 8-TSSOP footprint for PCB land pattern compatibility.
