tolerance band (E), which
is available only as a bare
die. For applications
requiring greater accuracy,
CY670-SD diodes are
available with calibration
across the full 1.4 to 500 K
temperature range.
The CY670E bare die sensor
provides the smallest physical size
and fastest thermal response time
of any silicon diode on the market
today. This is an important
advantage for applications where
size and thermal response time are
critical, including focal plane arrays
and high temperature
superconducting filters for cellular
communication.
General tolerence of ±0.127 (±0.005) unless otherwise noted.

The CY670 Series silicon diodes
offer a more accurate reading of
temperature ranges compared to
previously marketed silicone diodes.
Conforming to the curve CY670
standard voltage vs. temperature
response curve, sensors within the
CY670 Series are interchangeable,
and for many applications they do
not require individual calibration.
CY670 Series sensors in the SD
package are available in 5 tolerance
bands—3 for general cryogenic use
across the 1.4 to 500 K temperature
range, and 1 that offers superior
accuracy for applications from 30 K
to room temperature. The CY670
Series sensors also come in a
