ADITMP36GT9Z
Overview
The TMP36GT9Z is an analog local temperature sensor in a TO-92-3 through-hole package that produces a voltage proportional to temperature at 10 mV/degC. It measures ambient temperatures across a -40degC to 125degC sensing range (device-listed operating range up to 150degC) and runs from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. The part provides a simple voltage output for direct connection to microcontroller ADCs and is listed with a shutdown mode for low-power applications.
Why Choose This Part
The TMP36GT9Z provides a direct analog voltage proportional to temperature (10 mV/degC), so no digital communication or calibration is required to get a temperature reading. Its wide supply range (2.7 V to 5.5 V), through-hole package, and listed shutdown mode make it convenient for low-cost, low-power, and prototyping environments. The device covers a wide sensing range and has modest accuracy suitable for many monitoring and control tasks.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Power the sensor from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, connect ground, and read the output pin with your microcontroller ADC (or external ADC for platforms without analog inputs). Use a stable ADC reference and a short wiring run to minimize noise; place a 0.1 uF bypass capacitor close to the VCC pin per usual practice. For Arduino users, wire the output to an analog input on an Uno or compatible board and convert the measured voltage to temperature using the 10 mV/degC scale (see datasheet for exact offset and shutdown pin details).
