product review

After utilising this sensor for everyday applications and a few tests, I noticed a few striking aspects which included:
1. The simple SMBus and i2c interface it has, which can be intergraded with many micro controllers and external hardware parts.
2. Its amazing accuracy, resolution and calibration the sensor consists of, which could pick slight changes in the ambient and object temperatures easily, and without any hesitations.
3. The fact that you can customise this sensor's PWM output for continuous data readings.
4. The automotive and industrial grade this sensor is graded to be, which may be useful at different levels, especially with its high capabilities.
​5. The power saving mode that it has, which can limit the current being drawn when it is idle or active.
6. The sensor's small size, which can accommodate for a thermometer casing or any sort of small enclosures.
7. The low cost which comes with this sensor, ensuring that everybody could purchase one without having to spend a vast amount of money.
