The TMP421, TMP422 and TMP423 temperature sensors are remote monitoring with a built-in local temperature sensor. The transistor to which a remote temperature sensor diode is connected is typically a low-cost, NPN- or PNP-type transistor or diode, which is a component of a microcontroller, microprocessor, or FPGA.
Remote accuracy is ± 1°C between multiple IC manufacturers and no calibration required. The two-wire serial interface accepts SMBus write bytes, read bytes, send bytes, and receive byte commands to configure the device.
The TMP421, TMP422 and TMP423 include series resistance cancellation, porgrammable non-ideal factor, wide remote temperature measurement range (up to +150°C) and diode fault detection.
