GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADT7420 is a high accuracy digital temperature sensor

offering breakthrough performance over a wide industrial range,

housed in a 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP package. It contains an internal

band gap reference, a temperature sensor, and a 16-bit ADC to

monitor and digitize the temperature to 0.0078°C resolution.

The ADC resolution, by default, is set to 13 bits (0.0625°C).

The ADC resolution is a user programmable mode that can be

changed through the serial interface.

The ADT7420 is guaranteed to operate over supply voltages from

2.7 V to 5.5 V. Operating at 3.3 V, the average supply current is typi-

cally 210 μA. The ADT7420 has a shutdown mode that powers

down the device and offers a shutdown current of typically 2.0 μA

at 3.3 V. The ADT7420 is rated for operation over the −40°C to

+150°C temperature range.

Pin A0 and Pin A1 are available for address selection, giving the

drain output that becomes active when the temperature exceeds

a programmable critical temperature limit. The INT pin is also

an open-drain output that becomes active when the tempera-

ture exceeds a programmable limit. The INT pin and CT pin

can operate in comparator and interrupt event modes.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

1. Ease of use, no calibration or correction required by the user.

2. Low power consumption.

3. Excellent long-term stability and reliability.

4. High accuracy for industrial, instrumentation, and medical

applications.

5. Packaged in a 16-lead, 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP RoHS-

compliant package.
