We are excited to introduce the AS6223, a breakthrough in digital temperature sensing that is redefining what is possible for wearable health devices. About the size of a poppy seed, this sensor delivers ±0.09 °C accuracy in a footprint of just 0.82 mm × 0.82 mm, making continuous on-skin temperature monitoring easier and more practical than ever.

Why it’s innovative

When components shrink below one square millimeter, wearables become lighter, less obtrusive, and more practical. The AS6223 combines this miniaturization with ultra-low power consumption, factory calibration, and integrated linearization — enabling precision where it matters most: in everyday life. From smartwatches and rings to medical patches, this sensor empowers designers to create devices that seamlessly blend into daily routines while delivering medical-grade accuracy.
