0.25°C Temperature Resolution.
The LM70 is a temperature sensor, Delta-Sigma
analog-to-digital converter with an SPI and
MICROWIRE compatible interface available in WSON
and VSSOP 8-pin packages. The host can query the
LM70 at any time to read temperature. A shutdown
mode decreases power consumption to less than 10
µA. This mode is useful in systems where low
average power consumption is critical.

Disk Drives
The LM70's 2.65V to 5.5V supply voltage range, low
supply current and simple SPI interface make it ideal
for a wide range of applications. These include
thermal management and protection applications in
hard disk drives, printers, electronic test equipment,
and office electronics.
