1 Overview
The TMP006 is an infrared thermopile sensor with digital output integrated circuit. This device measures
the temperature of an object without making contact, making it ideal for many types of applications. The
TMP006EVM is a platform for evaluating the performance of the TMP006 under various conditions. The
TMP006EVM consists of two PCBs. One board, the
SM-USB-DIG , communicates with the user ’ s
computer, provides power, and sends and receives appropriate digital signals to communicate with the
TMP006. The second PCB, the TMP006_Test_Board, contains the TMP006 as well as support and
configuration circuitry. This document gives a general overview of the TMP006EVM, and provides a
general description of the features and functions to be considered while using this evaluation module.
