The TFSS433D SAW temperature sensor is a 433.786MHz one-port SAW resonator structure designed to have a linear frequency versus temperature characteristic.
With a temperature coefficient of frequency of 16.2 parts per million/C (~7028 Hz/C), it is operable from 0 to 120C and has an unloaded Q of 8000.
It is a low-loss structure (2.5dB max) and is designed for a 50ohm system.
Tom Cunneen, Vice President and General Manager, SenGenuity said "The TFSS433D is a highly accurate temperature sensor that enables OEMs to integrate precision wireless temperature measurement within their product platform".
The TFSS433D works within the ISM 433.92MHz for the defined operating temperature range.
SenGenuity's TFSS433D sensor is designed to provide instantaneous wireless temperature measurements for embedded real-time, in-line environments requiring high resolution and accuracy.
The new temperature sensor uses robust and reliable semiconductor technology packaged in a standard tape and reel format.
The TFSS433D demonstrates exceptional stability characteristics, and passes DIN IEC 68 T2-27 specifications for shock rating and screening according to DIN IEC 68 T2-6 standards for vibration rating.
Temperature stability characteristics are assured by DIN IEC 68 Part 2 - 14 Test N standards.
