Temperature is one of the most commonly sensed entities
in electronic circuits today. This is largely due to the
multitude of applications where knowing and using the
actual or relative temperature is critical. The most common
temperature sensors that are used to perform this task are:
Thermocouples, Resistive Temperature Detectors (RTDs),
Thermistors and Silicon Temperature Sensors, which are
primarily classified according to their output-signaling
method. Microchip offers logic output, voltage output and
serial or digital output silicon temperature sensors.Flexible Integrated Temp Sensors
