ams' AS6200 ICs are high-accuracy temperature sensor systems that communicate via a 2-wire digital bus with other devices. They consist of a silicon bandgap temperature sensor, an ADC, and a digital-signal processor. They have a very high temperature accuracy of 0.4°C and an ultra-low power consumption (low operation and quiescent current) which make it ideally suited for mobile and battery-powered applications.

The AS6200 is an easy to integrate and use solution, featuring a factory-calibrated sensor, integrated linearization, and the possibility to use two different I²C addresses, enabling the user to use two AS6200 devices on one bus. Additionally, the AS6200 temperature sensor system features an alert functionality, which triggers an interrupt to protect devices from excessive temperatures.
