TempSensor1

TempSensor1 is a compact temperature sensor module used in electronics and environmental monitoring. It is designed to provide ambient temperature readings for hobbyist projects, wearables, and industrial instrumentation, and is available in both digital and analog variants.

Digital variants typically offer a digital output via I2C or SPI, while analog variants provide a voltage proportional to temperature. Power supply commonly ranges from 3.3 to 5 volts, with some low-power versions designed for battery operation. Interfaces are selectable on most boards via simple wiring or jumpers.

The sensing element depends on the version and may use a silicon band-gap temperature sensor or a thermistor. Typical measurement ranges span from about -40°C to 125°C, with stated accuracy commonly in the ±0.5°C to ±1.5°C range over the operating temperature, and linearization or calibration options available in software.

Physical characteristics include a small surface-mount or through-hole package, often about a few millimeters across, and electrical pins arranged for standard connectors. Breakout boards or development boards are commonly available to simplify integration with microcontrollers.

Applications include data logging, HVAC control, environmental monitoring, robotics, and consumer electronics. The TempSensor1 designation is used by several vendors for different implementations, so exact performance and pinout should be confirmed from the respective datasheet.

Related topics include temperature sensors, thermistors, RTDs, and common interface standards such as I2C and SPI.
