    &lt;p&gt;The TC77 Thermal Sensor PICtail Demo Board demonstrates how to interface the TC77 Thermal Sensor device to a microcontroller. This board can connect directly to the PICkit 1 Flash Starter Kit, providing a platform for code development and evaluation. The system designer will be able to use this design as an example of how to integrate a digital temperature sensor in their system.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The TC77 is a serially accessible digital temperature sensor particularly suited for low cost and small formfactor applications. Temperature data is converted from the internal thermal sensing element and made available at anytime as a 13-bit two&amp;rsquo;s compliment digital word. Communication with the TC77 is accomplished via a SPI and MICROWIRE compatible interface. It has a 12-bit plus sign temperature resolution of 0.0625&amp;deg;C per Least Significant Bit (LSb).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The TC77 offers a temperature accuracy of &amp;plusmn;1.0&amp;deg;C (max.) over the temperature range of  25&amp;deg;C to  65&amp;deg;C. When operating, the TC77 consumes only 250 &amp;mu;A (typ.).

    &lt;p&gt;The TC77 Thermal Sensor PICtail Demo Board demonstrates how to interface the TC77 Thermal Sensor device to a microcontroller. This board can connect directly to the PICkit 1 Flash Starter Kit, providing a platform for code development and evaluation. The system designer will be able to use this design as an example of how to integrate a digital temperature sensor in their system.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The TC77 is a serially accessible digital temperature sensor particularly suited for low cost and small formfactor applications. Temperature data is converted from the internal thermal sensing element and made available at anytime as a 13-bit two&amp;rsquo;s compliment digital word. Communication with the TC77 is accomplished via a SPI and MICROWIRE compatible interface. It has a 12-bit plus sign temperature resolution of 0.0625&amp;deg;C per Least Significant Bit (LSb).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The TC77 offers a temperature accuracy of &amp;plusmn;1.0&amp;deg;C (max.) over the temperature range of  25&amp;deg;C to  65&amp;deg;C. When operating, the TC77 consumes only 250 &amp;mu;A (typ.). The TC77&amp;rsquo;s Configuration register can be used to activate the low power Shutdown mode, which has a current consumption of only 0.1 &amp;mu;A (typ.). Small size, low cost and ease of use make the TC77 an ideal choice for implementing thermal management in a variety of systems.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Applications:&lt;/strong&gt; Thermal Protection for Hard Disk Drives and Other PC Peripherals, PC Card Devices for Notebook Computers, Low Cost Thermostat Controls, Industrial Control, Office Equipment, Cellular Phones, Thermistor Replacement.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
    
        &lt;h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom"&gt;Features&lt;/h3&gt;
    &lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Available F/W routine transmits TC77 temperature data via SPI serial bus to a PIC microcontroller, as well as performs conversions to &amp;deg;F and &amp;deg;C.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Standard 100-mill header for easy interface to PICkit 1 Flash Starter Kit or custom application&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;p&gt;The TC77 Thermal Sensor PICtail Demo Board demonstrates how to interface the TC77 Thermal Sensor device to a microcontroller. This board can connect directly to the PICkit 1 Flash Starter Kit, providing a platform for code development and evaluation. The system designer will be able to use this design as an example of how to integrate a digital temperature sensor in their system.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The TC77 is a serially accessible digital temperature sensor particularly suited for low cost and small formfactor applications. Temperature data is converted from the internal thermal sensing element and made available at anytime as a 13-bit two&amp;rsquo;s compliment digital word. Communication with the TC77 is accomplished via a SPI and MICROWIRE compatible interface. It has a 12-bit plus sign temperature resolution of 0.0625&amp;deg;C per Least Significant Bit (LSb).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The TC77 offers a temperature accuracy of &amp;plusmn;1.0&amp;deg;C (max.) over the temperature range of  25&amp;deg;C to  65&amp;deg;C. When operating, the TC77 consumes only 250 &amp;mu;A (typ.). The TC77&amp;rsquo;s Configuration register can be used to activate the low power Shutdown mode, which has a current consumption of only 0.1 &amp;mu;A (typ.). Small size, low cost and ease of use make the TC77 an ideal choice for implementing thermal management in a variety of systems.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Applications:&lt;/strong&gt; Thermal Protection for Hard Disk Drives and Other PC Peripherals, PC Card Devices for Notebook Computers, Low Cost Thermostat Controls, Industrial Control, Office Equipment, Cellular Phones, Thermistor Replacement.&lt;/p&gt;
