What are the key features of MCP9700T-E/LT?
- Linear 10 mV/°C voltage output directly interfaces with microcontroller ADC inputs without external signal conditioning, simplifying firmware temperature measurement
- -40°C to +125°C operating range with ±6°C maximum accuracy covers consumer, industrial, and automotive thermal monitoring scenarios in a single package
- SC-70-5 package with a 2 mm x 1.25 mm body footprint is one of the smallest available for analog temperature sensors, enabling placement in highly space-constrained designs
What is MCP9700T-E/LT used for?
MCP9700T-E/LT is used in battery charger temperature monitoring, motor thermal protection, and ambient temperature sensing on embedded microcontroller boards where a direct ADC-readable 10 mV/°C analog output eliminates the need for external amplifiers. Its -40°C to +125°C range makes it suitable for automotive interior sensors, industrial control panels, and consumer electronics thermal management. The tiny SC-70-5 package fits inside wearable devices and compact sensor modules with very limited board space.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the output sensitivity of MCP9700T-E/LT, and how does it connect to a microcontroller ADC?
MCP9700T-E/LT produces a linear analog output voltage at 10 mV per °C with a 500 mV offset at 0°C, meaning at 25°C the output is 750 mV. This voltage connects directly to any microcontroller ADC input — no amplifier or external filter is required — making firmware temperature calculation straightforward with a simple linear conversion using the 10 mV/°C slope and known offset.
In a battery-powered IoT sensor tag, what supply current does MCP9700T-E/LT draw, and how does that extend battery life?
MCP9700T-E/LT draws a typical quiescent current of only 6 µA from supply rails as low as 2.3 V, which is negligible against most coin-cell or CR2032 battery capacities exceeding 200 mAh. At 6 µA continuous, the sensor alone would last over 3,800 hours on a 23 mAh battery cell, making it well suited for always-on ambient temperature logging in IoT tags and wireless sensor nodes.
How accurate is MCP9700T-E/LT over its operating temperature range, and where is accuracy adequate versus insufficient?
MCP9700T-E/LT specifies a maximum accuracy of ±6°C across the -40°C to +125°C range. This level of accuracy is adequate for over-temperature shutdown triggers, fan speed control, battery thermal management, and general ambient monitoring where ±5 to 10°C tolerance is acceptable. Applications requiring better than ±1°C precision, such as clinical thermometry or calibrated meteorological sensors, should use a higher-accuracy digital temperature sensor instead.
What are the physical dimensions of MCP9700T-E/LT's SC-70-5 package, and how does size compare to SOT-23?
MCP9700T-E/LT's SC-70-5 (also known as SOT-363) package body measures 2 mm long by 1.25 mm wide and only 0.95 mm in height, which is roughly 40% smaller in footprint than a standard SOT-23-5 package. This compact size allows the temperature sensor to be mounted inside wearable bands, medical patches, or PCB cavities where a standard SOT-23 would not fit within the available 2 mm x 1.25 mm area.
