MCP9800/1/2/3
4.0
The MCP9800/1/2/3 family of temperature sensors
consists of a band-gap type temperature sensor, a
Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), user-programmable
registers and a 2-wire I
serial interface.

4.1
The MCP9800/1/2/3 uses the difference in the base-
emitter voltage of a transistor while its collector current
is changed from IC
depends only on the ratio of the two currents and the
ambient temperature, as shown in Equation 4-1.
EQUATION 4-1:
4.2
A sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter is used to
convert V
transistor
adjustable resolution from 9-bits (at 30 ms conversion
time) to 12-bits (at 240 ms conversion time). Thus, it
allows the user to make trade-offs between resolution
and conversion time. Refer to Section 4.3.4 “Sensor
