Overview

The AS6223 is an ultra-low power, high-accuracy digital temperature sensor housed in a compact 4-pin WLCSP. Operating on a voltage range of 1.14V to 1.98V, it features an I2C interface and is specifically designed for space-constrained applications requiring minimal power consumption, such as mobile and wearable devices.

Why Choose This Part

The sensor offers an industry-leading balance of precision and power, consuming only 6uA at a 4Hz sample rate. Its tiny 0.82mm square footprint and extremely low supply voltage requirements make it compatible with the latest sub-1.8V low-power microprocessor rails.

Applications

Wearable Health Monitors
Utilizes the high 0.09C accuracy for precise skin temperature monitoring in smartwatches and fitness trackers.
Mobile Device Thermal Management
Monitors internal PCB temperatures in smartphones and tablets to manage CPU throttling and battery safety.
IoT Battery-Powered Nodes
Ideal for remote sensors where the 0.25uA standby current significantly extends operational life.
Camera Thermal Compensation
Provides accurate temperature data to calibrate image sensors and prevent thermal noise in high-resolution modules.

Getting Started

Integration requires connecting the I2C SDA and SCL lines with appropriate pull-up resistors to the host MCU. For evaluation, use the AS6221/23 adapter boards or standard ams OSRAM development kits to verify accuracy across the -40C to +125C operating range. Developers should pay close attention to PCB thermal relief to ensure the sensor accurately measures the target environment rather than board heat.
