1 Introduction
The TMP4718 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, on-die transistors or diode structures that are an integral part of microprocessors, microcontrollers, and FPGAs. Temperature accuracy for the local and the remote temperature sensors is ±1°C. 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. The EVM perforations allow the user to isolate and connect the temperature sensor, microcontroller, and remote BJT to external systems.
1.1 Features
