TMP006: Inconsistent information

Alexandre Meyer

Part Number: TMP006

I've been looking for information about the TMP006 calibration process and stumbled upon this post:

https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensor/temperature_sensors/f/243/t/476580

The big expanded equation displayed in the post shows (Tdie - Tref) at the numerator and (Tdie + Tref) at the denominator, which is different from the sbou142.pdf (calibration guide - aug.2014).

I assume the .pdf document is correct, right ?

Hi Alexandre,

TMP006 is not recommended for any new designs. This (NRND) status was updated on the product page:
www.ti.com/.../TMP006

If your application can use a contact based temp sensors you can browse our large portfolio at:
www.ti.com/.../sensing-products-what-are-you-sensing.page

If you need contact-less temp sensors, please consider other options in the market. TI don't have direct replacement for infrared based temp sensors and can not recommend other vendors.

Thanks,
Ren

Everywhere should be the difference: (Tdie - Tref)
