TMP461-SP: Local and Remote Temperature Sensing

Temperature sensing is important to monitor for the lifetime and proper operation of the system. The TMP461 is used to measure temperature locally from –55 to 105°C with a target accuracy of 1.5% (approximately ±2°C) and remotely from –55 to 125°C (approximately ±1.5°C). The temperature measurement is represented as a 12-bit digital code for both local and remote sensors. For remote temperature sensing, an example transistor, Q4, is used and are typically low-cost discrete NPN or PNP transistors, or substrate thermal transistors or diodes that are integral parts of microprocessors, analog-to-digital converters (ADC), digital-to-analog converters (DAC), microcontrollers, or field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA).
