DS18B20U+ Overview

The analog sensors are packaged in the Tube for safety reasons. It is important to protect analog sensors by packaging them in 8-TSSOP, 8-MSOP (0.118, 3.00mm Width) packages. A sensor with 8 pins functions properly. As far as this electronic part is concerned, there are 8 terminations. It is possible for the analog sensors to provide a current of 1.5mA when they are working. This sensor provides a maximum voltage of 5.5V in a DC circuit. Nevertheless, this magnetic switch can supply a DC circuit with a voltage as low as 3V. During operation, the analog sensors could supply a voltage of 5.5V. The sensor works as long as it receives 1mA current. As a general rule, the sensor's current output should be 4mA if optimal performance is to be achieved.
