13-bit digital temp sensor with ±0.5°C accuracy
The Texas Instruments LM76CHMX-5 is a local digital temperature sensor that resolves temperature to 13 bits and communicates over a 2-wire I²C/SMBus serial interface. The sensor includes an output switch, programmable temperature limit, and shutdown mode — the programmable limit lets the LM76CHMX-5 assert an alert pin when the local temperature crosses a threshold set via the serial bus, offloading the host controller from continuous polling.
Supply and interface fit
The I²C/SMBus interface shares the same supply domain, keeping the bus-level translation simple. The bulk packaging means it ships in tubes or trays rather than tape-and-reel — a consideration for pick-and-place feeders that expect reeled parts.
Active lifecycle and compliance
The part is RoHS non-compliant per the current listing, so verify local regulatory requirements before specifying for new designs in restricted jurisdictions.
