This paper presents a new family of complete, semiconductor-based devices for temperature monitoring and control. In keeping with the automotive designer's increasing focus on “Creature Comforts” and engine efficiency, these products provide greatly improved temperature control capabilities over past solutions. Features include an onboard sensor, high accuracy without external calibration, straightforward programmable control functions, low power consumption, and the high circuit density, reliability, and other functionality possible with monolithic integrated circuits.
