TMP815PWR datasheet by Texas Instruments

TMP815PWR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum power dissipation of the TMP815PWR?
  The maximum power dissipation of the TMP815PWR is 1.4W at a junction temperature of 150°C. However, it's recommended to keep the power dissipation below 1W to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I configure the TMP815PWR for remote temperature sensing?
  To configure the TMP815PWR for remote temperature sensing, connect the DQ pin to a microcontroller or other digital device, and use the TMP815PWR's built-in 1-Wire protocol to communicate with the device. The TMP815PWR can be configured to report temperature data in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
• What is the accuracy of the TMP815PWR's temperature measurement?
  The TMP815PWR has an accuracy of ±1°C from -20°C to 100°C, and ±2°C from -40°C to 150°C. This accuracy is specified for the entire operating temperature range of the device.
• Can I use the TMP815PWR for high-temperature applications?
  Yes, the TMP815PWR is designed for high-temperature applications and can operate up to 150°C. However, it's essential to ensure that the device is properly heat-sinked and that the power dissipation is kept within the recommended limits to prevent overheating.
• How do I handle the TMP815PWR's power-on reset (POR) and brown-out reset (BOR) features?
  The TMP815PWR has a built-in POR and BOR feature that resets the device during power-up or when the supply voltage drops below a certain threshold. To handle these features, ensure that your system design can accommodate the POR and BOR timing requirements, and that your software is designed to handle the reset events.
