Overview
The TMP461 is a high-accuracy, low-power remote temperature sensor monitor with a built-in local
temperature sensor. The remote temperature sensors are typically low-cost discrete NPN or PNP
transistors, or on-die transistor or diode structures that are an integral part of microprocessors,
microcontrollers, or FPGAs. The temperature accuracy is ±1°C for the local and the remote temperature
sensors. The two-wire serial interface accepts SMBus communication protocol. The module and GUI are
designed to provide the user a quick setup to evaluate the system and register map with simply a few click
powered by GUI Composer. The EVM features perforations that allows the temperature sensor,
microcontroller, and remote BJT to be isolated and be connected to external systems.
