Key Features
- SPI-compatible serial interface for easy connection to any microcontroller without pull-up resistors
- ±3°C maximum accuracy over full temperature range in a compact 3 mm × 3 mm MSOP-8 package
- 5 V supply operation compatible with standard logic rails used in industrial and consumer electronics
Applications
TC72-5.0MUA is designed for system thermal monitoring and overtemperature protection in consumer electronics, industrial controllers, and PC peripherals. Its SPI interface and 5 V operation allow direct connection to microcontrollers and FPGAs without level shifting. The small MSOP-8 footprint with 1.1 mm seated height makes it suitable for high-density PCB designs where board space and headroom are limited.

Frequently Asked Questions
What accuracy and resolution does TC72-5.0MUA provide for temperature measurement?
TC72-5.0MUA offers ±3°C maximum accuracy across its operating temperature range with a 10-bit ADC resolution, enabling temperature readings with approximately 0.25°C step size — adequate for thermal management and fan control in desktop PC and embedded system applications.
How does TC72-5.0MUA connect to a microcontroller and what interface does it use?
TC72-5.0MUA uses a standard SPI serial interface, requiring only 3 wires — SCK, SDO, and CS — in addition to VDD and GND. This eliminates the need for I2C pull-up resistors and allows operation at SPI clock rates compatible with most 8-bit and 32-bit microcontrollers running at 3.3 V or 5 V.
Is TC72-5.0MUA suitable as a low-cost alternative to the TC77 or MCP9800 temperature sensors?
TC72-5.0MUA provides a competitive alternative where SPI interface and 5 V supply are preferred over I2C. Compared to I2C-only sensors like MCP9800, TC72-5.0MUA suits designs with existing SPI buses, reducing routing complexity. Its ±3°C accuracy is sufficient for most fan control and thermal cutoff applications that do not require the ±0.5°C precision of higher-end sensors.
