Unlike a thermistor it is linear and needs no calibration or linearization, and unlike the digital DS18B20 it feeds an ADC directly with three pins (+VS, VOUT, GND). It reads -55 to +150 C (the full range needs a small negative-bias resistor) with about plus/minus 0.5 C accuracy, drawing only 60 uA so self-heating is negligible. Runs from 4 to 30 V.++## Pinout++| Pin | Name | Type | Function |+|---|---|---|---|+| 1 | +VS | power_in | Positive supply pin. Recommended operating range 4 V to 30 V; absolute max 35 V.
