TMP468: No sensitivity to humidity

Kenji Ohno1
Genius 5095 points
Part Number: TMP468

Hi Team,

I would like to know about Remote temperature sensors.
About the "No sensitivity to humidity" written on the following page

http://www.ti.com/sensing-products/temperature-sensors/learning-center/sensor-types.html#remote

What kind of mechanism is it?
Please tell me why there is no susceptibility to humidity.

Is it OK to use this IC in high humidity environment?

I want to understand right

Best Regards,

Kenji

    Hi Kenji-san,

    To be honest with you, I am also not sure what the intend is. The remote temperature sensor is only sensed on diodes and BJT transistors as well as PNP transistors built-in inside processors, ASIC and FPGA. The sensing element are all enclosed inside the mold compound. It is completely sealed.

    The remote temperature sensor can sense the temperature as long as the package can sustain the humidity. I think "No sensitivity to humidity" is referring to regardless of the humidity changes outside of the mold compound.

    Hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions.
