3 Description

The TMP468 device is a multi-zone, high-accuracy,

low-power temperature sensor using a two-wire,

SMBus or I2C compatible interface. Up to eight

remote diode-connected temperature zones can be

monitored simultaneously in addition to the local

temperature. Aggregating the temperature

measurements across a system allows improved

performance through tighter guard bands and can

reduce board complexity. A typical use case is for

monitoring the temperature across different

processors, such as MCUs, GPUs, and FPGAs in

complex systems such as servers and

telecommunications equipment. Advanced features

such as series resistance cancellation, programmable

non-ideality factor, programmable offset, and

programmable temperature limits are included to

provide a robust thermal monitoring solution with

improved accuracy and noise immunity.

Each of the eight remote channels (and the local

channel) can be programmed independently with two

thresholds that are triggered when the corresponding

temperature is exceeded at the measured location. In

addition, there is a programmable hysteresis setting

to avoid constant toggling around the threshold.

The TMP468 device provides high accuracy (0.75°C)

and high resolution (0.0625°C) measurement

capabilities. The device supports low voltage rails

(1.7 V to 3.6 V), common two-wire interfaces, and is

available in a small, space efficient package (3 mm ×

3 mm or 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm) for easy integration into

computing systems. The remote junction supports a

temperature range from –55°C to +150°C.
