TMP235: What performance the sensor gain of a temperature sensor represents?

Chuanfei Pan

Part Number: TMP235
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMP236

My customer HEMAI is using out TMP235 and syslink's CT7035 for P2P. And they are cusrious about the sensor gain parameter in the datasheet .

So what performance the sensor gain of a temperature sensor represents?

Thanks!!

Hello,

TMP235 has a linear analog output with a slope of +10mV/°C, this is what the datasheet refers to as gain. The TMP236 is variant of TMP235 with a larger slope, +19.5mV/°C. This is the only gain relevant to the TMP235/6.

Thanks
