    Neil Albaugh
    Scott; A narrow field of view can be obtained by placing a lens in front of the active area of a sensor. In light of the wavelength responsivity of this device (4um to 8um-- this information SHOULD HAVE BEEN PUT IN THE DATA SHEET!) a lens with a material that is transparent in this range will be required...

    Hello Tomoaki, I apologize - Table 1 in the TMP006 data sheet which shows the address combinations is incorrect. We are in the process of revising the data sheet, and the new version should be ready by the end of this month. The table below shows the proper connections for all 8 address combinations...

    Joe Desbonnet
    Thanks -- that was very helpful. The magic is in usb.c (GenCommand() and I2C_Write() functions in particular) and I can see how the protocol works now. I've written some C code using the libusb-1.0 library which sends the TMP006 register queries and I get a response that is tantalizingly close...

  • Forum Post: Re: TMP006 and Cloud Detection

    Neil Albaugh
    Johnny; I think the TMP006 would work nicely to sense the presence of cloud cover re cold sky. A Fresnel lens should give you a fairly narrow field of view as well as some optical gain. The IR bandpass of the TMP006 and some plastic lenses/filters was discussed recently in another posting about the...

    Another clue. Here I am querying the TMP006 0xFE register (manufacturer ID, value 0x5449) and looking at the SDA/SCL lines on H1 with a logic analyzer. Something is going wrong after reading the first byte of data (0x54). But the SDA/SCL trace generated by the Windows software seems identical up to that...

  • Forum Post: Multiple TMP006EVMs on One Computer

    Brent Gordon
    Is it possible to use multiple TMP006EVMs on one computer simultaneously? I need to do simultaneous non-contact temperature measurements. I've already changed the address on one of my TMP006 sensor boards, but the evaluation software only recognizes whichever EVM was last plugged in.

  • Forum Post: Re: Multiple TMP006EVMs on One Computer

    Ian Williams
    Hello Brent, It is possible to use multiple TMP006EVMs on one computer, however you would not be able to take truly simultaneous measurements as you'd have to switch between each device in the EVM software. However, since temperature is typically a slowly-changing value I think this implementation...

    Brent Gordon
    Hello Ian, Thanks for the response. I thought daisy-chaining the sensors might be the solution. I did try changing the address in the software with two SM-USB-DIGs connected, but it did not work. Only the most recently connected SM-USB-DIG was recognized. I looked through the data sheet on the...

    Hello Matheus, Thank you for your interest in the TMP006. I know that one of our contractors has converted some TMP006 demo board code from IAR to CCS, so let me track that down to share with you. Side note: Nice PC! Have you experimented with your overclock to see how far your hex-core Phenom...

  • Forum Post: Re: TMP006 field of view

    Ian Williams
    Hello Marcello, Yes, the TMP006 can be used to measure the temperature of small ICs at a close distance, but keep in mind that the optimal distance of the TMP006 from the object to be measured is d < (r/2) where r is the radius of the object. In the case of a SOT-23, this distance would be quite...

    Alex Behnaz
    Hello All, I recently purchased a TMP 006 evaluation module, tested it, and have been reading up on these forums & the datasheet. The end application is external body temperature measurement, so extremely low noise is critical. Some of my test results are shown below. Figure 1: The response...

    Ian Williams
    Hello Alex, I'll first answer your three questions and then offer some other recommendations. 1) On the evaluation kit, how is the filtering done? I assume that the TMP 006 simply takes multiple readings, and the software then does an average. Actually, the averaging is performed inside...

  • Forum Post: Re: Airflow??

    Neil Albaugh
    Benedict; The reason that your readings are consistently low may be due to the low emissivity of the object's surface that you are measuring. Black surfaces have a higher emissivity than white or shiny surfaces-- but this is tricky because we are talking about emissivity in the infrared portion...

  • Forum Post: Re: Airflow??

    Benedict Hartmann
    Thanks for this quick answer. I already painted the surface with a black enamel coating. So the surface is already prepared. The emission coefficient is around 0.85-0.9. What do you mean with our low readings? Is in your opinion the Sensor Voltage too low? Does the sensor have problems with airflow...

    Ian; These questions posted about measuring skin temperature are so numerous--together with other moderate-temperature thermometry questions-- that it is clear that the decision to use a cover that cuts off the longer wavelength response of this detector needs rethinking. Marketing should have thought...

    Neil Albaugh
    Collin; Can't a coating be sputtered on to the surface to make it "black" in the IR? This would extend the IR response to a longer wavelength and increase the sensitivity in human-body temperature measurements, etc. I was wrong about thinking the TMP006 spectral response was limited...

  • Forum Post: Re: TMP006 suitable for higher temperature ranges?

    Ian Williams
    Hello Clay, The main concern is that you don't saturate the TMP006's IR sensor in order to maintain a usable sensor voltage reading, so an optical filter or attenuator would be necessary for an application such as the one you describe. Of course, the TMP006 itself can not be operated at temperatures...

  • Forum Post: Re: TMP006 suitable for higher temperature ranges?

    Neil Albaugh
    Clay; What you've described is an optical attenuator, AKA an "ND filter". Neutral density filters are wide-spectrum attenuators; they are specified as ND 1.0, ND 2.0, etc. The numerical figure represents the attenuation in tens of dB--- 1.0 is 10dB (1/10), 2.0 is 20 dB (1/100), 3.0 is...
