Working Principle

The TMP468AIYFFR uses a single-supply voltage to measure temperatures over the range of -40°C to 150°C. An external voltage divider, with its lower resistor connected to ground, is required for operation. The temperature is measured by applying the analog voltage at the sensor’s terminal. The voltage is proportional to the ambient temperature and is measured by a 16-bit analog-to-digital converter within the sensor. The ADC converts the analog input to a digital code that can be read via a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). The TMP468AIYFFR also has a hysteresis function to improve the accuracy of the measurement. The hysteresis allows the temperature to be measured over a wider range of temperatures without the need for additional components.

The TMP468AIYFFR’s performance-oriented features, such as its low power consumption and wide temperature range, make it the perfect solution for a variety of applications. The device is also designed with a small package size for easy implementation. Additionally, the SPI interface allows the measurements to be made quickly and securely, ensuring reliable results. With its sophisticated design and quality, the TMP468AIYFFR provides a powerful and compact solution for many temperature sensing applications.
