JAJSNM5A December 2021 – August 2022 TMP9R00-SP
PRODUCTION DATA
The internal power dissipation of the TMP9R00-SP device can cause the temperature to rise above the ambient or PCB temperature. The internal power is negligible because of the small current drawn by the TMP9R00-SP device. Equation 6 can be used to calculate the average conversion current for power dissipation and self-heating based on the number of conversions per second and temperature sensor channel enabled. Use the Section 6.5 table to find typical values required for these calculations. For a 2.0-V supply and a conversion rate of 1 conversion per second, the TMP9R00-SP device dissipates 136 mW (PDIQ = 2.0 V × 68 μA) when both the remote and local channels are enabled.
The temperature measurement accuracy of the TMP9R00-SP device depends on the remote and local temperature sensor being at the same temperature as the monitored system point. If the temperature sensor is not in good thermal contact with the part of the monitored system, then there is a delay between the sensor response and the system changing temperature. This delay is usually not a concern for remote temperature-sensing applications that use a substrate transistor (or a small, SOT-23 transistor) placed close to the monitored device.
