Texas Instruments TMP411/TMP411-Q1 Remote Temperature Sensors

Texas Instruments TMP411/TMP411-Q1 Remote and Local Temperature Sensors are remote temperature sensor monitors with a built-in local temperature sensor. The remote temperature-sensor, diode-connected transistors are typically low-cost, NPN- or PNP-type transistors or diodes that are an integral part of microcontrollers, microprocessors, or FPGAs. Remote accuracy is ±1°C for multiple device manufacturers, with no calibration needed. The Texas Instruments TMP411 two-wire serial interface accepts SMBus write byte, read byte, send byte and receive byte commands to program the alarm thresholds and to read temperature data. The TMP411-Q1 devices are AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications.
