8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

The local temperature sensor inside the TMP451-Q1 device monitors the ambient air around the device. The thermal time constant for the TMP451-Q1 device is approximately two seconds. This constant implies that if the ambient air changes quickly by 100°C, it would take the TMP451-Q1 device about 10 seconds (that is, five thermal time constants) to settle to within 1°C of the final value. In most applications, the TMP451-Q1 package is in electrical, and therefore thermal, contact with the printed circuit board (PCB), as well as subjected to forced airflow. The accuracy of the measured temperature directly depends on how accurately the PCB and forced airflow temperatures represent the temperature that the TMP451-Q1 is measuring. Additionally, the internal power dissipation of the TMP451-Q1 can cause the temperature to rise above the ambient or PCB temperature. The internal power dissipated as a result of exciting the remote temperature sensor is negligible because of the small currents used. For a 3.3-V supply and maximum conversion rate of 16 conversions per second, the TMP451-Q1 device dissipates 0.54 mW (PDIQ = 3.3 V × 165 μA). A θJA of 171.3°C/W causes the junction temperature to rise approximately 0.09°C above the ambient.

The temperature measurement accuracy of the TMP451-Q1 device depends on the remote and/or local temperature sensor being at the same temperature as the system point being monitored. Clearly, if the temperature sensor is not in good thermal contact with the part of the system being monitored, then there will be a delay in the response of the sensor to a temperature change in the system. For remote temperature-sensing applications using a substrate transistor (or a small, SOT23 transistor) placed close to the device being monitored, this delay is usually not a concern.
