Temperature Sensor Output and Accuracy

The SCB-100 temperature sensor outputs 10 mV/°C and has an accuracy of ±0.5 °C.

You also can determine the temperature using the following formulas:

T C ⁢ = 100 ⁢ × V t T K = T C + 273.15 T F = [ 9 5 × T C ] + 32 T C ⁢ = 100 ⁢ × V t T K = T C + 273.15 T F = [ 9 5 × T C ] + 32

Where Vt is the temperature sensor output voltage; and TK, TF, and TC are the temperature readings in degrees Kelvin, degrees Fahrenheit, and degrees Celsius, respectively.

Note Use the average of a large number of samples to obtain the most accurate reading. Noisy environments require averaging more samples for greater accuracy.
