LM50CIM3X for Temp Sensing

Hey everyone,

I’m pretty new to electronics and currently working on a small project, basically a simple power supply and battery monitor setup. I found LM50CIM3X, and it looks easy enough to use since it outputs analog voltage that changes with temperature. I was planning to mount it near a MOSFET or battery to track temperature and maybe shut things down if it gets too hot. But I’m still learning, so I wanted to ask:

Is this sensor good enough for accurate readings, or should I use something digital instead? Will the analog signal get messed up if there’s a lot of electrical noise? And does it respond quickly to temperature changes?

I’ve only done a few basic Arduino projects before, so this is a bit of a step up for me. I’d really appreciate any advice or real-world tips from you guys who’ve used the LM50CIM3X or similar sensors.

Thanks in advance! I’m trying to understand not just what works, but why it works.
