7 Detailed Description

7.1 Overview
The TMP451 device is a digital temperature sensor that combines a local temperature measurement channel
and a remote-junction temperature measurement channel in a single DFN-8 package. The device is two-wire-
and SMBus-interface compatible, and is specified over a temperature range of –40°C to 125°C. The TMP451
device also contains multiple registers for programming and holding configuration settings, temperature limits,
and temperature measurement results.

7.3 Feature Description


7.3.1 Temperature Measurement Data
The local and remote temperature sensors have a resolution of 12 bits (0.0625°C). Temperature data that result
from conversions within the default measurement range are represented in binary form, as shown in the
STANDARD BINARY column of Table 1. Any temperature below 0°C results in a data value of 0 (00h). Likewise,
temperatures above 127°C result in a value of 127 (7Fh). The device can be set to measure over an extended
temperature range by changing bit 2 (RANGE) of configuration register from low to high. The change in
measurement range and data format from standard binary to extended binary occurs at the next temperature
conversion. For data captured in the extended temperature range configuration, an offset of 64 (40h) is added to
the standard binary value, as shown in the EXTENDED BINARY column of Table 1. This configuration allows
measurement of temperatures as low as –64°C, and as high as 191°C; however, most temperature-sensing
diodes only measure with the range of –55°C to 150°C. Additionally, the TMP451 device is specified only for
ambient temperatures ranging from –40°C to 125°C; parameters in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table must be
observed.

(1) Resolution is 1°C/count. Negative values produce a read of 0°C.


(2) Resolution is 1°C/count. All values are unsigned with a –64°C offset.

Both local and remote temperature data use two bytes for data storage. The high byte stores the temperature
with 1°C resolution. The second or low byte stores the decimal fraction value of the temperature and allows a
higher measurement resolution, as shown in Table 2. The measurement resolution for both the local and the
remote channels is 0.0625°C.

7.3.1.1 Standard Binary-to-Decimal Temperature Data Calculation Example


High-byte conversion (for example, 0111 0011):
Convert the right-justified binary high byte to hexadecimal.
From hexadecimal, multiply the first number by 160 = 1 and the second number by 161 = 16.
The sum equals the decimal equivalent.
0111 0011b → 73h → (3 × 160) + (7 × 161) = 115
Low-byte conversion (for example, 0111 0000):
To convert the left-justified binary low-byte to decimal, use bits 7 through 4 and ignore bits 3 through 0
because they do not affect the value of the number.
0111b → (0 × 1/2)1 + (1 × 1/2)2 + (1 × 1/2)3 + (1 × 1/2)4 = 0.4375

7.3.1.2 Standard Decimal-to-Binary Temperature Data Calculation Example


For positive temperatures (for example, 20°C):
(20°C) / (1°C/count) = 20 → 14h → 0001 0100
Convert the number to binary code with 8-bit, right-justified format, and MSB = 0 to denote a positive sign.
20°C is stored as 0001 0100 → 14h.
For negative temperatures (for example, –20°C):
(|–20|) / (1°C/count) = 20 → 14h → 0001 0100
Generate the two's complement of a negative number by complementing the absolute value binary number
and adding 1.
–20°C is stored as 1110 1100 → ECh.

7.3.2 Series Resistance Cancellation


Series resistance cancellation automatically eliminates the temperature error caused by the resistance of the
routing to the remote transistor or by the resistors of the optional external low-pass filter. A total of up to 1 kΩ of
series resistance can be cancelled by the TMP451 device, eliminating the need for additional characterization
and temperature offset correction. See Figure 5 for details on the effects of series resistance on sensed remote
temperature error.

7.3.3 Differential Input Capacitance


The TMP451 device tolerates differential input capacitance of up to 1000 pF with minimal change in temperature
error. The effect of capacitance on sensed remote temperature error is shown in Figure 6.

7.3.4 Filtering
Remote junction temperature sensors are usually implemented in a noisy environment. Noise is most often
created by fast digital signals, and it can corrupt measurements. The TMP451 device has a built-in, 65-kHz filter
on the inputs of D+ and D– to minimize the effects of noise. However, a bypass capacitor placed differentially
across the inputs of the remote temperature sensor is recommended to make the application more robust against
unwanted coupled signals. For this capacitor, select a value of between 100 pF and 1 nF. Some applications
attain better overall accuracy with additional series resistance; however, this increased accuracy is application-
specific. When series resistance is added, the total value should not be greater than 1 kΩ. If filtering is required,
suggested component values are 100 pF and 50 Ω on each input; exact values are application-specific.

Additionally, a digital filter is available for the remote temperature measurements to further reduce the effect of
noise. This filter is programmable and has two levels when enabled. Level 1 performs a moving average of four
consecutive samples. Level 2 performs a moving average of eight consecutive samples. The value stored in the
remote temperature result register is the output of the digital filter, and the ALERT and THERM limits are
compared to it. This provides additional immunity to noise and spikes on the ALERT and THERM outputs. The
filter responses are shown in Figure 12. The filter can be enabled or disabled by programming the desired levels
in the digital filter register. The digital filter is disabled by default and on POR.

7.3.5 Sensor Fault


The TMP451 device can sense a fault at the D+ input resulting from incorrect diode connection. The TMP451
device can also sense an open circuit. Short-circuit conditions return a value of –64°C. The detection circuitry
consists of a voltage comparator that trips when the voltage at D+ exceeds (V+) – 0.3 V (typical). The
comparator output is continuously checked during a conversion. If a fault is detected, then OPEN (bit 2) in the
status register is set to 1.
When not using the remote sensor with the TMP451 device, the D+ and D– inputs must be connected together
to prevent meaningless fault warnings.

Operation

The hysteresis value is stored in the THERM hysteresis register. The value of the CONAL[2:0] bits in the
consecutive ALERT register determines the number of limit violations before the ALERT pin is tripped. The
default value is 000b and corresponds to one violation, 001b programs two consecutive violations, 011b
programs three consecutive violations, and 111b programs four consecutive violations. This provides additional
filtering for the ALERT pin state.

7.4 Device Functional Modes


7.4.1 Shutdown Mode (SD)
The TMP451 shutdown mode enables the user to save maximum power by shutting down all device circuitry
other than the serial interface, reducing current consumption to typically less than 3 μA; see Figure 11. Shutdown
mode is enabled when the SD bit (bit 6) of the configuration register is high; the device shuts down after the
current conversion is finished. When the SD bit is low, the device maintains a continuous-conversion state.

7.4.2 One-shot Mode


When the TMP451 device is in shutdown mode (SD = 1 in the configuration register), a single conversion is
started by writing any value to the one-shot start register, pointer address 0Fh. This write operation starts one
conversion and comparison cycle on both the local and the remote sensors. The TMP451 device returns to
shutdown mode when the cycle completes. The value of the data sent in the write command is irrelevant and is
not stored by the TMP451 device.

7.5 Programming
7.5.1 Serial Interface
The TMP451 device operates only as a slave device on either the two-wire bus or the SMBus. Connections to
either bus are made using the open-drain I/O lines, SDA and SCL. The SDA and SCL pins feature integrated
spike suppression filters and Schmitt triggers to minimize the effects of input spikes and bus noise. The TMP451
device supports the transmission protocol for fast (1 kHz to 400 kHz) and high-speed (1 kHz to 2.5 MHz) modes.
All data bytes are transmitted MSB first.

Programming (continued)
7.5.1.1 Bus Overview
The TMP451 device is SMBus interface compatible. In SMBus protocol, the device that initiates the transfer is
called a master, and the devices controlled by the master are slaves. The bus must be controlled by a master
device that generates the serial clock (SCL), controls the bus access, and generates the START and STOP
conditions.
To address a specific device, a START condition is initiated. A START condition is indicated by pulling the data
line (SDA) from a high-to-low logic level while SCL is high. All slaves on the bus shift in the slave address byte,
with the last bit indicating whether a read or write operation is intended. During the ninth clock pulse, the slave
being addressed responds to the master by generating an acknowledge bit and pulling SDA low.
Data transfer is then initiated and sent over eight clock pulses followed by an acknowledge bit. During data
transfer SDA must remain stable while SCL is high, because any change in SDA while SCL is high is interpreted
as a control signal.
After all data have been transferred, the master generates a STOP condition. A STOP condition is indicated by
pulling SDA from low to high, while SCL is high.

7.5.1.2 Bus Definitions


The TMP451 device is two-wire and SMBus-compatible. Figure 15 and Figure 16 show the timing for various
operations on the TMP451 device. The bus definitions are as follows:
Acknowledge: Each receiving device, when addressed, is obliged to generate an acknowledge bit. A device
that acknowledges must pull down the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse in such a way
that the SDA line is stable low during the high period of the acknowledge clock pulse. Take setup
and hold times into account. On a master receive, data transfer termination can be signaled by the
master generating a not-acknowledge on the last byte that has been transmitted by the slave.
Bus Idle: Both SDA and SCL lines remain high.
Data Transfer: The number of data bytes transferred between a START and a STOP condition is not limited and
is determined by the master device. The receiver acknowledges data transfer.
Start Data Transfer: A change in the state of the SDA line, from high to low, while the SCL line is high, defines
a start condition. Each data transfer initiates with a START condition.
Stop Data Transfer: A change in the state of the SDA line from low to high while the SCL line is high defines a
STOP condition. Each data transfer terminates with a repeated START or STOP condition.

7.5.1.3 Serial Bus Address


To communicate with the TMP451 device, the master must first address slave devices using a slave address
byte. The slave address byte consists of seven address bits, and a direction bit indicating the intent of executing
a read or write operation. The TMP451 device has a device address of 4Ch (1001 100b). Additional factory-
programmed device addresses are available upon request.

7.5.1.4 Read and Write Operations


Accessing a particular register on the TMP451 device is accomplished by writing the appropriate value to the
pointer register. The value for the pointer register is the first byte transferred after the slave address byte with the
R/W bit low. Every write operation to the TMP451 device requires a value for the pointer register (see Figure 15).
When reading from the TMP451 device the last value stored in the pointer register by a write operation is used to
determine which register is read by a read operation. To change which register is read for a read operation, a
new value must be written to the pointer register. This transaction is accomplished by issuing a slave address
byte with the R/W bit low, followed by the pointer register byte; no additional data are required. The master can
then generate a START condition and send the slave address byte with the R/W bit high to initiate the read
command; see Figure 16 for details of this sequence.
If repeated reads from the same register are desired, it is not necessary to continually send the pointer register
bytes, because the TMP451 device retains the pointer register value until it is changed by the next write
operation. The register bytes are sent MSB first, followed by the LSB.
Read operations should be terminated by issuing a not-acknowledge command at the end of the last byte to be
read. For single-byte operation, the master must leave the SDA line high during the acknowledge time of the first
byte that is read from the slave.

Programming (continued)
7.5.1.5 Time-out Function
If the SMBus time-out function is enabled, the TMP451 device resets the serial interface if either SCL or SDA are
held low for 25 ms (typical) between a START and STOP condition. If the TMP451 device is holding the bus low,
the device releases the bus and waits for a START condition. To avoid activating the time-out function,
maintaining a communication speed of at least 1 kHz for the SCL operating frequency is necessary. The SMBTO
bit (bit 7) of the consecutive ALERT register controls the time-out enable. Setting the SMBTO bit to a value of 0
(default) disables the time-out. Setting the SMBTO bit to a value of 1 enables the function.

7.5.1.6 High-speed Mode


For the two-wire bus to operate at frequencies above 1 MHz, the master device must issue a high-speed mode
(Hs-mode) master code (0000 1xxx) as the first byte after a START condition to switch the bus to high-speed
operation. The TMP451 device does not acknowledge this byte, but switches the input filters on SDA and SCL
and the output filter on SDA to operate in Hs-mode, allowing transfers at up to 2.5 MHz. After the Hs-mode
master code has been issued, the master transmits a two-wire slave address to initiate a data transfer operation.
The bus continues to operate in Hs-mode until a STOP condition occurs on the bus. Upon receiving the STOP
condition, the TMP451 device switches the input and output filters back to fast mode operation.

7.5.1.7 General Call Reset


The TMP451 device supports reset using the two-wire general call address 00h (0000 0000b). The TMP451
device acknowledges the general call address and responds to the second byte. If the second byte is 06h (0000
0110b), the TMP451 device executes a software reset. This software reset restores the power-on reset state to
all TMP451 registers, and it aborts any conversion in progress. The TMP451 device takes no action in response
to other values in the second byte.

7.6.1 Register Information


The TMP451 device contains multiple registers for holding configuration information, temperature measurement
results, and status information. These registers are described in Figure 17 and Table 3.

7.6.1.1 Pointer Register


Figure 17 shows the internal register structure of the TMP451 device. The 8-bit pointer register is used to
address a given data register. The pointer register identifies which of the data registers should respond to a read
or write command on the two-wire bus. This register is set with every write command. A write command must be
issued to set the proper value in the pointer register before executing a read command. Table 3 describes the
pointer register and the internal structure of the TMP451 registers. The power-on reset (POR) value of the
pointer register is 00h (0000 0000b).

7.6.1.2 Temperature Registers


The TMP451 device has multiple 8-bit registers that hold temperature measurement results. The eight most
significant bits (MSBs) of the local temperature sensor result are stored in register 00h, while the four least
significant bits (LSBs) are stored in register 15h (the four MSBs of register 15h). The eight MSBs of the remote
temperature sensor result are stored in register 01h, and the four LSBs are stored in register 10h (the four MSBs
of register 10h). The four LSBs of both the local sensor and the remote sensor indicate the temperature value
after the decimal point (for example, if the temperature result is 10.0625˚C, the high byte is 0000 1010 and the
low byte is 0001 0000). These registers are read-only and are updated by the ADC each time a temperature
measurement.
When the full temperature value is needed, reading the MSB value first causes the LSB value to be locked (the
ADC does not write to it) until it is read. The same thing happens upon reading the LSB value first (the MSB
value is locked until it is read). This mechanism assures that both bytes of the read operation are from the same
ADC conversion. This assurance remains valid only until another register is read. For proper operation, read the
high byte of the temperature result first. Read the low byte register in the next read command; if the LSBs are not
needed, the register may be left unread. The power-on reset value of all temperature registers is 00h.

(1) These flags stay high until the status register is read or they are reset by a POR when pin 6 is configured as ALERT. Only bit 2 (OPEN)
stays high until the status register is read or it is reset by a POR when pin 6 is configured as THERM2.

The status register reports the state of the temperature ADC, the temperature limit comparators, and the
connection to the remote sensor. Table 6 lists the status register bits. The status register is read-only, and is
read by accessing pointer address 02h.
The LHIGH and LLOW bits indicate a local sensor overtemperature or undertemperature event, respectively. The
RHIGH and RLOW bits indicate a remote sensor overtemperature or undertemperature event, respectively. The
OPEN bit indicates an open-circuit condition on the remote sensor. When pin 6 is configured as the ALERT
output, the five flags are NORed together. If any of the five flags are high, the ALERT interrupt latch is set and
the ALERT output goes low. Reading the status register clears the five flags, provided that the condition that

caused the setting of the flags is not present anymore (that is, the value of the corresponding result register is
within the limits, or the remote sensor is connected properly and functional). The ALERT interrupt latch (and the
ALERT pin correspondingly) is not reset by reading the status register. The reset is done by the master reading
the temperature sensor device address to service the interrupt, and only if the flags have been reset and the
condition that caused them to be set is not present.
The RTHRM and LTHRM flags are set when the corresponding temperature exceeds the programmed THERM
limit. They are reset automatically when the temperature returns to within the limits. The THERM output goes low
in the case of overtemperature on either the local or the remote channel, and goes high as soon as the
measurements are within the limits again. The THERM hysteresis register (21h) allows hysteresis to be added so
that the flag resets and the output goes high when the temperature returns to or goes below the limit value minus
the hysteresis value.
When pin 6 is configured as THERM2, only the high limits matter. The LHIGH and RHIGH flags are set if the
respective temperatures exceed the limit values, and the pin goes low to indicate the event. The LLOW and
RLOW flags have no effect on THERM2, and the output behaves the same way when configured as THERM.

MASK1 of the configuration register masks the ALERT output. If MASK1 is 0 (default), the ALERT output is

ALERT/THERM2 bit is 0 (that is, pin 6 is configured as the ALERT output). If pin 6 is configured as the THERM2
output, the value of the MASK1 bit has no effect.
The shutdown bit, SD, enables or disables the temperature-measurement circuitry. If SD = 0 (default), the
TMP451 device converts continuously at the rate set in the conversion rate register. When SD is set to 1, the
TMP451 device stops converting when the current conversion sequence is complete and enters a shutdown
mode. When SD is set to 0 again, the TMP451 resumes continuous conversions. When SD = 1, a single
conversion can be started by writing to the one-shot start register. See the One-shot Mode section for more
information.
ALERT/THERM2 (bit 5) sets the configuration of pin 6. If the ALERT/THERM2 bit is 0 (default), then pin 6 is
configured as the ALERT output; if it is set to 1, then pin 6 is configured as the THERM2 output.
The temperature range is set by configuring RANGE (bit 2) of the configuration register. Setting this bit low
(default) configures the TMP451 device for the standard measurement range (0°C to 127°C); temperature
conversions are stored in the standard binary format. Setting bit 2 high configures the TMP451 device for the
extended measurement range (–64°C to 191°C); temperature conversions are stored in the extended binary
format (see Table 1).

This register is read-only and is updated by the ADC each time
a temperature measurement is completed. When the full
temperature value is needed, reading the high byte register first
causes the low byte register value to be locked (the ADC does
not write to it) until it is read. The same thing happens upon
reading the low byte register value first (the high byte register
value is locked until it is read). This mechanism assures that
both bytes of the read operation are from the same ADC
conversion. This assurance remains valid only until another
register is read. For proper operation, read the high byte of the
temperature result first. Read the low byte register in the next
read command; if the low byte is not needed, the register may
be left unread. The resolution of these four bits is 0.0625 °C.

8 Application and Implementation

NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

8.1 Application Information


The TMP451 device requires only a transistor connected between the D+ and D– pins for remote temperature
measurement. Tie the D+ pin to GND if the remote channel is not used and only the local temperature is
measured. The SDA, ALERT, and THERM pins (and SCL, if driven by an open-drain output) require pullup
resistors as part of the communication bus. A 0.1-µF power-supply decoupling capacitor is recommended for
local bypassing.

8.2 Typical Application

8.2.1 Design Requirements


The TMP451 device is designed to be used with either discrete transistors or substrate transistors built into
processor chips and ASICs. Either NPN or PNP transistors can be used, as long as the base-emitter junction is
used as the remote temperature sense. NPN transistors must be diode-connected. PNP transistors can either be
transistor- or diode-connected (see Figure 41).
Errors in remote temperature sensor readings are typically the consequence of the ideality factor and current
excitation used by the TMP451 device versus the manufacturer-specified operating current for a given transistor.
Some manufacturers specify a high-level and low-level current for the temperature-sensing substrate transistors.
The TMP451 device uses 7.5 μA for ILOW and 120 μA for IHIGH.
The ideality factor (η) is a measured characteristic of a remote temperature sensor diode as compared to an
ideal diode. The TMP451 allows for different η-factor values; see the η-Factor Correction Register section.
The ideality factor for the TMP451 device is trimmed to be 1.008. For transistors that have an ideality factor that
does not match the TMP451, Equation 4 can be used to calculate the temperature error.

NOTE
For the equation to be used correctly, actual temperature (°C) must be converted to Kelvin
(K).

h - 1.008
TERR = ´ (273.15 + T(°C))
1.008

where
• TERR = error in the TMP451 device because η ≠ 1.008
• η = ideality factor of remote temperature sensor
• T(°C) = actual temperature
• Degree delta is the same for °C and K. (4)

If a discrete transistor is used as the remote temperature sensor with the TMP451, the best accuracy can be
achieved by selecting the transistor according to the following criteria:
1. Base-emitter voltage > 0.25 V at 7.5 μA, at the highest sensed temperature.
2. Base-emitter voltage < 0.95 V at 120 μA, at the lowest sensed temperature.
3. Base resistance < 100 Ω.
4. Tight control of VBE characteristics indicated by small variations in hFE (that is, 50 to 150).
Based on this criteria, two recommended small-signal transistors are the 2N3904 (NPN) or 2N3906 (PNP).

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure


The local temperature sensor inside the TMP451 device monitors the ambient air around the device. The thermal
time constant for the TMP451 device is approximately two seconds. This constant implies that if the ambient air
changes quickly by 100°C, it would take the TMP451 device about 10 seconds (that is, five thermal time
constants) to settle to within 1°C of the final value. In most applications, the TMP451 package is in electrical, and
therefore thermal, contact with the printed circuit board (PCB), as well as subjected to forced airflow. The
accuracy of the measured temperature directly depends on how accurately the PCB and forced airflow
temperatures represent the temperature that the TMP451 is measuring. Additionally, the internal power
dissipation of the TMP451 can cause the temperature to rise above the ambient or PCB temperature. The
internal power dissipated as a result of exciting the remote temperature sensor is negligible because of the small
currents used. For a 3.3-V supply and maximum conversion rate of 16 conversions per second, the TMP451
device dissipates 0.54 mW (PDIQ = 3.3 V × 165 μA). A θJA of 171.3°C/W causes the junction temperature to rise
approximately 0.09°C above the ambient.
The temperature measurement accuracy of the TMP451 device depends on the remote and/or local temperature
sensor being at the same temperature as the system point being monitored. Clearly, if the temperature sensor is
not in good thermal contact with the part of the system being monitored, then there will be a delay in the
response of the sensor to a temperature change in the system. For remote temperature-sensing applications
using a substrate transistor (or a small, SOT23 transistor) placed close to the device being monitored, this delay
is usually not a concern.

8.2.3 Application Curves


The following curves show the performance capabilities of the TMP451 device. Figure 43 shows the accuracy
performance in an oil-bath temperature drift of a population of 16 standrard 2N3906 transistors measured in a
diode-connected configuration. Figure 44 shows the typical step response to a submerging of a sensor in an oil
bath with temperature of 100°C.

9 Power Supply Recommendations


The TMP451 device operates with a power supply range of 1.7 V to 3.6 V. The device is optimized for operation
at 3.3-V supply but can measure temperature accurately in the full supply range.
A power-supply bypass capacitor is recommended. Place this capacitor as close as possible to the supply and
ground pins of the device. A typical value for this supply bypass capacitor is 0.1 μF. Applications with noisy or
high-impedance power supplies may require additional decoupling capacitors to reject power-supply noise.

10 Layout

10.1 Layout Guidelines


Remote temperature sensing on the TMP451 device measures very small voltages using very low currents;
therefore, noise at the device inputs must be minimized. Most applications using the TMP451 have high digital
content, with several clocks and logic level transitions creating a noisy environment. Layout should adhere to the
following guidelines:
1. Place the TMP451 device as close to the remote junction sensor as possible.
2. Route the D+ and D– traces next to each other and shield them from adjacent signals through the use of
ground guard traces; see Figure 45. If a multilayer PCB is used, bury these traces between ground or V+
planes to shield them from extrinsic noise sources. 5 mil (0.127 mm) PCB traces are recommended.
3. Minimize additional thermocouple junctions caused by copper-to-solder connections. If these junctions are
used, make the same number and approximate locations of copper-to-solder connections in both the D+ and
D– connections to cancel any thermocouple effects.
4. Use a 0.1μF local bypass capacitor directly between the V+ and GND of the TMP451 device. For optimum
measurement performance, minimize filter capacitance between D+ and D– to 1000 pF or less . This
capacitance includes any cable capacitance between the remote temperature sensor and the TMP451
device.
5. If the connection between the remote temperature sensor and the TMP451 device is less than 8-in (20,32
cm) long, use a twisted-wire pair connection. For lengths greater than 8 in, use a twisted, shielded pair with
the shield grounded as close to the TMP451 device as possible. Leave the remote sensor connection end of
the shield wire open to avoid ground loops and 60-Hz pickup.
6. Thoroughly clean and remove all flux residue in and around the pins of the TMP451 device to avoid
temperature offset readings as a result of leakage paths between D+ and GND, or between D+ and V+.
