TMP512AIRSAR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the accuracy of the TMP512AIRSAR over the entire operating temperature range?
  The TMP512AIRSAR has an accuracy of ±0.5°C over the entire operating temperature range of -40°C to 150°C.
• How does the TMP512AIRSAR handle thermal gradients and self-heating?
  The TMP512AIRSAR is designed to minimize self-heating effects, and its thermal gradient compensation ensures accurate temperature measurements even in the presence of thermal gradients.
• What is the response time of the TMP512AIRSAR, and how does it affect my application?
  The TMP512AIRSAR has a response time of approximately 10 seconds, which may affect applications that require fast temperature measurements. However, this response time is typical for high-accuracy temperature sensors.
• Can I use the TMP512AIRSAR in high-vibration or high-shock environments?
  Yes, the TMP512AIRSAR is designed to withstand high-vibration and high-shock environments, making it suitable for industrial and automotive applications.
• How do I calibrate the TMP512AIRSAR, and is calibration required?
  The TMP512AIRSAR does not require calibration, as it is calibrated during the manufacturing process. However, if you need to perform calibration, you can use the built-in calibration registers to adjust the sensor's output.
