About UsNew High-Accuracy Digital Temperature Sensor From ST
The STTS22H has an accuracy of 0.25°C with I2C and SMBus Communication
With typical temperature-reading accuracy of 0.25°C and low operating and standby current, the STMicroelectronics STTS22H enhances temperature and heat-flow monitoring in asset trackers, shipping-container loggers, HVAC systems, air humidifiers, refrigerators, building-automation systems, and smart consumer devices.

The STTS22H is I2C and SMBus 3.0 compliant, and supports flexible operating modes
including configurable output data rate (ODR) down to 1Hz, a power-saving one-shot mode,
and an interrupt pin that supports SMBus Alert Response Address (ARA).
This allows the sensor, as an SMBus slave, to signal the application if a user-programmed upper or lower temperature threshold is exceeded.
Programmable I2C/SMBus slave addresses allow up to two STTS22H sensors to share the same bus.
Power consumption is very low, drawing just 2.0µA at 1Hz ODR and 1.75µA during periodic one-shot measurements,
helping extend the running time of battery-powered devices.
In standby mode with the serial port inactive, the STTS22H draws a mere 0.5µA (typical).
The 1.5-3.6V operating-voltage range allows use with various power sources such as a small lithium cell.
The sensor is fast-acting, with conversion time of 5ms, and provides 16-bit temperature data. The package features a metal slug that minimizes thermal resistance to ensure fast settling at the ambient temperature. Devices come factory-calibrated and maintain the 0.25°C typical accuracy from -10°C to 60°C, eliminating any need for user calibration.
