DETERMINING RATE OF CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS

A temperature sensor device has a digital interface with a first memory storing a current temperature value which can be read through the digital interface and a second memory storing a rate of temperature change value which can be read through the digital interface. Such a temperature sensor can be...

Zusammenfassung:A temperature sensor device has a digital interface with a first memory storing a current temperature value which can be read through the digital interface and a second memory storing a rate of temperature change value which can be read through the digital interface. Such a temperature sensor can be preferably used in a system with a cooling fan and a processor coupled with the digital interface of the temperature sensor. The processor is operable to control the cooling fan based on temperature measurement values and the rate of change in temperature retrieved from the temperature sensor through the digital interface.
