Temperature Sensor - TMP36

The TMP36 is a low voltage, precision centigrade temperature sensor.

It provides a voltage output that is linearly proportional to the Celsius temperature. It also doesn’t require any external calibration to provide typical accuracies of ±1°C at +25°C and ±2°C over the −40°C to +125°C temperature range. We like it because it’s so easy to use: Just give the device a ground and 2.7 to 5.5 VDC and read the voltage on the Vout pin. The output voltage can be converted to temperature easily using the scale factor of 10 mV/°C.

Features:

  • Voltage Input: 2.7 V to 5.5 VDC
  • 10 mV/°C scale factor
  • ±2°C accuracy over temperature
  • ±0.5°C linearity
  • Operating Range: −40°C to +125°C

Basic temperature to voltage sensor, needed in a hurry got two delivered next day, awesome service as ever.

Nice little analog sensor. is prone to RF noise - can be reduced with a couple of caps as detailed in the spec. I tried using a ferrite ring near the Arduino but had little improvement. I think I'll have to do some software filtering to "improve" the signal.

This sensor works fine but you need to bare in mind that it’s output is 750 mv at 25c dgrees Use this ration to calculate the temperature it is not like other series that have 10mv /C degree . You need to go back to the data sheet to figure it out as i thought it was reading in Fehrenhite but actully the ratio is different

Great, accurate temperature sensor which I'm using in conjunction with a AtoD converter for a Raspberry Pi project (controlling a PWM enclosure fan, variable speed based on temperature). Excellent service to Thailand by Pimoroni, thanks.
