Fermion: MCP9808 High Accuracy Digital Temperature Sensor

SKU: SEN0435

The MCP9808 is a highly accurate temperature sensor (±0.25°C typical, ±0.5°C max over -40°C to +125°C, +0.0625°C precision) compared to common sensors like DS18B20/LM35. It has user-programmable registers for shutdown/low-power modes, temperature alert window/critical limits. When temp exceeds bounds, it outputs an alert (configurable as active-low/high for thermostats or interrupt for microprocessors). Ideal for sophisticated multi-zone temp monitoring.
