(ALERT). Additional thermal limits can be programmed
into the TMP411 and used to trigger another flag (THERM)
that can be used to initiate a system response to rising
temperatures.
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The TMP411 is a dual-channel digital temperature sensor
that combines a local die temperature measurement
channel and a remote junction temperature measurement
channel in a single MSOP-8 or SO-8 package. The
TMP411 is Two-Wire- and SMBus interface-compatible
and is specified over a temperature range of −40°C to
+125°C. The TMP411 contains multiple registers for
The TMP411 requires only a transistor connected between
D+ and D− for proper remote temperature sensing
operation. The SCL and SDA interface pins require pull-up
resistors as part of the communication bus, while ALERT
and THERM are open-drain outputs that also need pull−up
resistors. ALERT and THERM may be shared with other
devices if desired for a wired-OR implementation. A 0.1µF
power-supply bypass capacitor is recommended for good
local bypassing. Figure 11 shows a typical configuration
for the TMP411.
