TMP007: Abnormal behavior

Part Number: TMP007

Hi, for our new system for smoke detection and heat sources we are testing the TMP007, but during the tests we have noticed abnormal behaviors:
- the temperature of the die, in the absence of variations, drops suddenly, also decreasing the temperature
- With lower ambient temperatures it can better follow the temperature fluctuations.

We are waiting for help.

Greetings

  • Hi Enrico,

    Ambient temperature changes are always a problem for all types of infrared temperature sensing technology. For this reason, you should design your enclosure to limit exposure to ambient temperature change and air movement.

    If you can provide more detail about your design, I may be to provide additional support.

    For an overview of this technology, I highly recommend reading the first few sections of the IR FAQ.
