Product details
Overview
TMP422AQDCNTQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive-qualified dual-channel remote and local digital temperature sensor IC in SOT-23-8 package, delivering ±1°C remote diode accuracy (–40°C to +150°C) and ±1.5°C local die accuracy (–40°C to +125°C) via SMBus/I²C interface with programmable n-factor correction and series resistance cancellation up to 3 kΩ - used for real-time junction temperature monitoring of processors and FPGAs in engine control units.
For engineers reviewing the TMP422AQDCNTQ1 datasheet, TMP422AQDCNTQ1 pinout, TMP422AQDCNTQ1 application, or TMP422AQDCNTQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed remote sensing architecture, exact thermal error behavior across voltage and series resistance, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for automotive thermal management designs.
Technical Context
The TMP422AQDCNTQ1 implements a dual-channel remote sensing architecture using four dedicated analog inputs (DX1–DX4) to measure two independent external diode-connected transistors, each requiring matched positive/negative pairs; it supports SMBus Fast-Mode (up to 400 kHz) and High-Speed Mode (up to 3.4 MHz) with integrated spike suppression filters and Schmitt-triggered SCL/SDA inputs.
It features on-chip series resistance cancellation (up to 3 kΩ), programmable ideality factor (η = 1.008), differential input capacitance tolerance up to 1000 pF, and built-in 65-kHz input filtering - all operating within a 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply range while maintaining AEC-Q100 Grade 1 ambient temperature compliance (–40°C to +125°C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Remote Accuracy | ±1°C max over –40°C to +150°C; enables direct junction temp readout without calibration for automotive SoCs |
| Local Accuracy | ±1.5°C max over –40°C to +125°C; provides precise die temperature tracking for thermal throttling decisions |
| Supply Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V; compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V automotive power domains without level-shifting |
| Interface | SMBus/I²C with open-drain SCL/SDA; supports Fast-Mode (400 kHz) and High-Speed Mode (3.4 MHz) |
| Conversion Time | 100–130 ms per channel; deterministic timing for synchronized multi-sensor polling in safety-critical systems |
| Quiescent Current | 32–525 μA depending on conversion rate; <10 μA in shutdown mode for low-power wake-on-temp applications |
| ESD Rating | HBM ±3000 V, CDM ±750 V; meets AEC-Q100 stress requirements for under-hood deployment |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-23-8 (2.90 mm × 1.63 mm), surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, lead-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - DX1 | Analog input | Positive terminal for Channel 1 remote diode; also sets device address bit A1 when pulled high/low |
| 2 - DX2 | Analog input | Negative terminal for Channel 1 remote diode; also sets device address bit A0 when pulled high/low |

Applications
| Processor Thermal Monitoring | FPGA Junction Sensing |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel remote/local temperature sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TMP421AQDCNTQ1 | Single remote channel only; identical local accuracy, SMBus interface, and SOT-23-8 package | Not suitable for dual-junction monitoring; limited to single-processor or single-FPGA thermal zones | Select when only one external diode needs monitoring and board space or BOM count must be minimized |
| LM95235EVAL/NOPB | Two remote + one local channel; SPI interface only; SOIC-8 package; ±1.5°C remote accuracy | Requires SPI host controller instead of SMBus; larger footprint; no AEC-Q100 qualification | Choose for non-automotive industrial systems where SPI is preferred and higher remote error tolerance is acceptable |
Compared with TMP421AQDCNTQ1, the TMP422AQDCNTQ1 adds a second remote channel without increasing package size or supply constraints - enabling tighter thermal zoning in space-constrained ECUs. Versus LM95235EVAL/NOPB, it offers automotive qualification, SMBus compatibility, and superior remote accuracy at the cost of interface flexibility.

FAQ
What is the remote temperature measurement range supported by the TMP422AQDCNTQ1?
The TMP422AQDCNTQ1 supports a remote temperature measurement range of –40°C to +150°C with ±1°C maximum accuracy. When configured for extended range mode (RANGE bit = 1), it can report values from –64°C to +191°C, though practical diode sensing remains limited to –55°C to +150°C. The device's absolute maximum junction temperature is 150°C, and ambient operation is rated from –40°C to +125°C per AEC-Q100 Grade 1.
Does the TMP422AQDCNTQ1 require external calibration for remote diode measurements?
No, the TMP422AQDCNTQ1 does not require external calibration for remote diode measurements. It achieves ±1°C remote accuracy across multiple diode manufacturers without calibration, enabled by on-chip series resistance cancellation (up to 3 kΩ), fixed n-factor correction (η = 1.008), and factory-trimmed ADC references. Calibration is only needed if custom ideality factors or extreme PCB parasitics exceed design limits.
How many remote temperature channels does the TMP422AQDCNTQ1 support, and how are they connected?
The TMP422AQDCNTQ1 supports two independent remote temperature channels. Channel 1 uses pins DX1 (positive) and DX2 (negative); Channel 2 uses pins DX3 (positive) and DX4 (negative). Each channel interfaces with a diode-connected NPN or PNP transistor. Unused DX pins must be tied to GND to prevent fault detection errors - unlike the TMP421-Q1 or TMP423-Q1, which use different pin mapping schemes.
What SMBus/I²C speeds does the TMP422AQDCNTQ1 support, and what are the timing constraints?
The TMP422AQDCNTQ1 supports SMBus Fast-Mode (up to 400 kHz) and High-Speed Mode (up to 3.4 MHz). Minimum SCL clock period is 2.5 µs (Fast-Mode) or 392 ns (High-Speed Mode). Bus free time (tBUF) is 1300 ns minimum in Fast-Mode and 160 ns in High-Speed Mode. Timeout resets the interface if SCL or SDA is held low >30 ms between START and STOP - requiring ≥1 kHz minimum SCL frequency to avoid spurious resets.
Is the TMP422AQDCNTQ1 pin-compatible with other devices in the TMP42x-Q1 family?
No, the TMP422AQDCNTQ1 is not pin-compatible with TMP421AQDCNTQ1 or TMP423AQDCNTQ1. While all three share the SOT-23-8 package and common pins (V+, GND, SCL, SDA), their remote sensing pin assignments differ: TMP421-Q1 uses DXP/DXN; TMP422-Q1 uses DX1–DX4; TMP423-Q1 uses DXP1–DXP3/DXN. Swapping parts requires PCB layout revision due to incompatible analog input routing.
