Digital Temperature sensor SMT172
The Smartec SMT172 is an ultra-low power, fully calibrated, high accuracy digital sensor developed at the Delft University of Technology (TUD). Using the most recent advances in silicon temperature sensing technology, the SMT172 has applied sophisticated IC design techniques and high-precision calibration methods, to achieve an accuracy of ±0.06ºC from 10ºC to 40ºC and overall accuracy of ±0.1ºC in the range of -20ºC to 60ºC (-4ºF to 140ºF) with a resolution of 0.0001ºC. The SMT172 requires only one digital input. SMT172 is an efficient alternative for Pt100/1000AA applications in a limited temperature range. The high accuracy of the SMT172 makes it an easy and low cost digital solution. Save development and production cost with the SMT172 temperature sensor and a little bit of software. Applications include medical, industrial and environmental projects.

Infrared temperature sensors and modules with I²C
The Smartec SMTIR infrared sensors are sophisticated full silicon infrared sensors and thermopiles. The sensors can measure the radiation temperature without making contact. Thermopiles are structures composed of thermocouple junctions that convert thermal energy into electrical energy (The Seebeck effect). For different radiation temperature ranges, various filters are available. Sensor SMTIR9902 and the new SMTIR2102 also contain an NTC temperature sensor for measuring the temperature of the sensor itself. The temperature range of the sensor-element is between -40 to 100 °C. The sensor is available in a standard TO-5 encapsulation and comes equipped with a 5.5 micrometer filter. For a of 7° small field of view, there is an infrared sensor available with a silicon lens. The output voltage of the infrared sensor required amplification before presenting to the AD converter.
Calibrated modules SMTIRMOD with infra-red sensor, amplifier and I²C interface speed up infrared temperature sensing. For USB input use the SMT AS02I2C I²C to USB converter.

Universal Transducer Interface SMT UTI
The Smartec Universal Transducer Interface (UTI) is a sensor-to-time signal converter, based on a self-calibrating period-modulated oscillator. Sensing elements can be directly connected to the UTI without the need for extra electronics. The output is digital and can communicate with any type of micro-controller. High accuracy and resolution (13 to 14 bits). The UTI can operate in 16 different modes. To obtain accurate results in any of these modes, only a reference element of the same kind as the sensor is required. The UTI provides interfacing for all kind of resistive and capacitive sensors.
For convenient design-in, there is an evaluation board available. The UTI evaluation board and free down-loadable software ensure that custom applications will be up and running in no time.

Humidity sensors
Pressure sensors SMTSPD
The Smartec pressure sensors, SPD serie are silicon based level sensors that are available in different housings. These pressure sensors are typically mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB). Pressure range from 10 mBar and to 20 Bar gauge, absolute and differential. In case of the absolute version, a reference vacuum chamber is formed on the die during manufacturing. The principle of the Smartec Pressure sensors is that pressure in a liquid or gas bends the sensor membrane. The membrane has a very thin conductive screened layer that bends with the membrane and changes the resistance. The resistance is measured by a Wheatstone bridge. The sensors are available with an internal amplifier with temperature compensation to provide a stable analogue output. Smartec pressure sensors have a wide range of outputs including bridge, analogue, digital and I2C output. If a sensor is required that is not available in our standard parts then please talk to us and if possible we will provide a custom versions that meets your requirements.
Features
