MILPITAS, CA – July 28, 2015 – Linear Technology\u2019s\u00a0LTC2983<\/a>\u00a0high performance digital temperature measurement IC was selected for the Analog Ultimate Product ACE Award by UBM Canon\u2019s\u00a0EDN<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0EE Times<\/em>. The award was made during the Embedded Systems Conference in Santa Clara, California, following selection by a panel of\u00a0EDN<\/em>and\u00a0EE Times<\/em>\u00a0editors, and a panel of independent judges.<\/p>\n

This high precision digital temperature measurement system integrates all necessary components to excite, calibrate, measure and digitize diodes, thermistors, thermocouples and RTDs with 0.1\u00b0C conformity. The LTC2983 provides multiplexed high precision interface to virtually any sensor. An SPI interface provides readout of temperature in \u00b0C and simple configuration of many convenient features.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe LTC2983 is a complete temperature measurement system incorporating circuits and expertise that solve problems engineers face when designing precision systems,\u201d stated Michael Mayes, Design Section Leader, Mixed Signal Products for Linear Technology. \u201cCompanies adopting this new technology will benefit, with significant reductions in design time, design verification, and board complexity while achieving better performance and functionality over conventional solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bob Reay, Vice President, Mixed Signal Products for Linear Technology, added, \u201cThe LTC2983 represents a breakthrough in measurement of temperature, the most commonly measured physical parameter. The device greatly simplifies this challenging problem by integrating temperature measurement into a single chip capable of directly digitizing any temperature sensor element with outstanding accuracy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Designers may also be interested in Linear Technology\u2019s\u00a0LTC2984<\/a>\u00a0universal temperature sensor IC, which builds on the LTC2983 by adding EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) that stores user configuration data and custom sensor coefficients. This addition eliminates any IC or sensor programming by a host processor and facilitates the use of self-contained temperature sensing boards or modules.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe advances made each day by engineering and design are outstanding, bettering every aspect of life for today and tomorrow,\u201d said Suzanne Deffree, Executive Editor,\u00a0EDN<\/em>\u00a0& UBM Canon. \u201cAt the ACE Awards, we celebrated some stellar examples of creativity in design, innovation, and technology. We congratulate and thank this year\u2019s ACE Awards nominees, finalists, and winners.\u201d<\/p>\n
