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
