12-bit Digital Temp Sensor from Catalyst Semiconductor
Catalyst Semiconductor has unveiled its first device in a new line of temperature sensors. The new CAT6095 is a 12-bit digital output temperature sensor available in an ultra-thin, 0.55mm height UDFN package for DDR3 memory module applications in high-speed PCs and laptops, environmental control systems and industrial process control equipment. The UDFN package provides accurate temperature monitoring in a 30 percent lower profile package compared to standard 2 x 3 x 0.8mm TDFN packages.
The In addition to the space-saving 2 x 3 x 0.55mm height UDFN package, the CAT6095 is also available in the standard 2 x 3 x 0.8mm TDFN package. Both packages contain an integrated backside metal pad for enhanced PC board thermal contact and faster sensing response time.
Pricing for the CAT6095 temperature sensor is $0.35 each, in 10,000 piece quantities. Samples are available now. Projected lead-time for production quantities is currently 6 to 8 weeks ARO.
