AMS AG, the world's leading provider of high-performance sensor solutions, today introduced the AS6200C, a digital temperature sensor IC that provides high temperature range of -20 ° C to + 10 ° C Accuracy measurement.
The AS6200C's superior performance makes it easier for refrigerator and data logger designers in cold chain storage to meet demanding system-level accuracy requirements.
Perishable cargo storage devices typically operate over the temperature range of -20 ° C to 10 ° C while the AS6200C measures ± 0.2 ° C over this temperature range. In the 1.8 V to 3.6 V supply range , The sensor has a stable accuracy.
In temperature control and temperature logging applications, the total error budget is made up of multiple components, and by minimizing errors in the measurement process, designers struggle to balance other sources of error and noise, such as the heat generated by board components. The precision of the AS6200C gives designers more flexibility to modify other elements of the system design while keeping the total error below the maximum specified.
The AS6200C integrates the sensor front-end, 12-bit analog-to-digital converter and digital logic into a small Wafer Level Chip Scale Package (WL-CSP) that provides digital output to the main microcontroller via an I2C interface. Digital signal processing, which means that it does not require user calibration, its linear output without external microcontroller compensation.
The AS6200C can be used to store and transport food, medicine, flowers, and other perishable goods, as well as domestic and commercial refrigerators. It is well suited as a data logger and complies with EN12830: 1999 Class I standards.
The new product expands on Amicos semiconductors' small and accurate digital temperature sensor IC product line and offers the same high accuracy as the AS6200 sensor in the 0 ° C to 65 ° C range.
Nikolai Haslebner, Marketing Manager for Amicos Semiconductors, said: "The AS6200C is a unique product we have introduced to the market with a compact footprint of just 1.5 mm2, high accuracy in the temperature range of cold chain monitoring and storage, no calibration or linearity The digital output is easily and simply demonstrated, demonstrating the unique value of low noise, high sensitivity, and high linearity semiconductor technology, demonstrating the superior performance of the AMMS sensor solution.
The AS6200C digital temperature sensor is now in volume production and its evaluation board is available from the Amicus ICdirect online store. Request a sample or learn more technical information at www.ams.com/temperature-sensor/AS6200C.
