The TC74 chip is a serially accessible, digital temperature sensor from Microchip Technology that measures the surrounding temperature with a resolution of 1°C. The temperature is available as an 8-bit digital word stored in its internal temperature register, which is accessible through a 2-wire I2C compatible serial bus. This project describes how to use the TC74 sensor with a PIC microcontroller to measure the surrounding temperature.
