TMP117: High Temp Operation beyond spec.

Part Number: TMP117

Can TMP117 measure above and beyond 150 C? Let's just say it is running at 165 C to 175 C.  

Do you have any test data on this extended temp beyond the spec?

Do we have an EP (Enhanced Packaging) for this device?

  • Hello Tu,

    The absolute maximum temperature rating for both operation and storage for TMP117 is 155°C, and the TMP117 should not be used beyond its abs max limit.

    We dont have data to support using the TMP117 beyond its absolute maximum rating. If you need a digital local temp sensor that is rated to 175°C, I would suggest TMP126. It's a SPI device and is slighly less accurate than TMP117, but will perform safely at your desired temperatures.

    Thanks

  • Alex,

    Thank you for your informative post.  We will test out both to learn more about their capabilities.

    Thanks,
