Microchip Technology Inc announced a new six-member family of temperature sensor ICs called the EMC118X.


Unveiled yesterday, with this new mount, Microchip Technology, continues its dynamic of expansion regarding its thermal-management portfolio.
Billed as the world’s first family of temp sensors with 1.8V SMBus and I2C™ communications, which is required for interfacing to the latest generation of smartphone, tablet and PC chipsets, this
integrated low-voltage I/O support aims to reduce cost and board space.
According to Microchip Technology, These are the first temp sensors to use an advanced sample-frequency-hopping filter, which enables temperature-monitoring traces of up to 8 inches in noisy environments with accurate readings and the EMC118X family employs frequency-hopping on the sampling frequency, which avoids the injection of coherent noise and enables traces of up to 8 inches while maintaining accurate temperature readings.
1.8V communication compatibility has become important for all leading system chipsets, from tablets to PCs to smartphones, and this new temp sensor family meets that need while providing many other advanced features.” said Bryan J. Liddiard, marketing vice president of Microchip’s Analog and Interface Products Division
