Hi all,
I have a customer that wants to use a smaller diode than the 2N3906 for the TMP451. Are there other recommendations? Would it be possible to use a 2-pin diode device instead?
Thanks,
Paul

Dear Paul -
The 2N3906 has surface mount variants (MMBT and PZT) - please see this application note which was created to help in your selection process of remote transistors to use with the TMP4 devices.

You will get expected (and better) results using a diode connected transistor with this device.
