8.3.3 Tight Accuracy, Fine Resolution and Low Noise

The LM95071-Q1 is well suited for applications that require tight temperature measurement accuracy. In many applications, from process control to HVAC, the low temperature error can mean better system performance and, by eliminating a system calibration step, lower production cost.

With fine digital resolution, the LM95071-Q1 senses and reports very small changes in its temperature, making it ideal for applications where temperature sensitivity is important. For example, the LM95071-Q1 enables the system to quickly identify the direction of temperature change, allowing the processor to take compensating action before the system reaches a critical temperature.

The LM95071-Q1 has very low output noise (see Figure 7 in the Typical Characteristics section), which makes it ideal for applications where stable thermal compensation is a priority. For example, in a temperature-compensated oscillator application, the very small deviation in successive temperature readings translates to a stable frequency output from the oscillator.
