MCP9700/9700A and MCP9701/9701A
4.2
The MCP9700/9700A and MCP9701/9701A family of
low operating current of 6 µA (typical) makes it ideal for
battery-powered
applications that require tighter current budget, this
device can be powered using a microcontroller Input/
Output (I/O) pin. The I/O pin can be toggled to shut
down
microcontroller internal digital switching noise is
emitted to the MCP9700/9700A and MCP9701/9701A
as power supply noise. This switching noise compro-
mises measurement accuracy. Therefore, a decoupling
capacitor and series resistor will be necessary to filter
out the system noise.
4.3
The MCP9700/9700A and MCP9701/9701A family
does not require any additional components to operate.
However, it is recommended that a decoupling
capacitor of 0.1 µF to 1 µF be used between the V
and GND pins. In high-noise applications, connect the
power supply voltage to the V
resistor with a 1 µF decoupling capacitor. A high
frequency ceramic capacitor is recommended. It is
necessary for the capacitor to be located as close as
possible to the V
effective noise protection. In addition, avoid tracing
digital lines in close proximity to the sensor.

The MCP9700/9700A and MCP9701/9701A family
measures temperature by monitoring the voltage of a
diode located in the die. A low-impedance thermal path
between the die and the PCB is provided by the pins.
Therefore,

the ambient air is not as efficient because the plastic
device package functions as a thermal insulator from
the die. This limitation applies to plastic-packaged
silicon temperature sensors. If the application requires
measuring ambient air, consider using the TO-92
package.
