MCP9700T-E

Microchip · Temperature and Humidity Sensor · SOT-23

MCP9700T-E from Microchip, in a SOT-23. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VDD power_in Positive supply pin. Operating range 2.3 V to 5.5 V (MCP9700/9700A). Absolute maximum 6.0 V. A 0.1 µF bypass capacitor to GND is recommended close to the pin.
2 VOUT output Analog temperature output. Rail-to-rail voltage proportional to sensed temperature with 10.0 mV/°C typical coefficient and 500 mV output at 0 °C. Output impedance ~20 Ω, drives up to 100 µA and 1000 pF cap loads; connect directly to an ADC input.
3 GND power_in Ground return for supply and output signal. 0 V reference for VOUT.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
mcp9700t-e.step 59 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
mcp9700t-e-etched.step 1.6 MB You want the part with MCP9700T-E already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 398 faces against 69 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: Microchip datasheet (20 pp, sha256 fb465c00d828553e, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: manufacturer)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
  • CAD: KiCad official libraries (CC-BY-SA 4.0).
