Product details
Overview
TMP423AIDCNTG4 from Texas Instruments is a triple-channel remote/local temperature sensor IC with SMBus interface, ±1°C remote diode accuracy (max), 12-bit resolution per channel, and SOT23-8 package. It measures one local die temperature and three independent remote junctions (e.g., CPU, GPU, VRM) in server and telecom thermal management systems.
For engineers reviewing the TMP423AIDCNTG4 datasheet, TMP423AIDCNTG4 pinout, TMP423AIDCNTG4 application, or TMP423AIDCNTG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include remote channel count, SMBus address configurability (A0/A1), series resistance cancellation up to 3 kΩ, and extended temperature range support (–64°C to +191°C).
Technical Context
The TMP423AIDCNTG4 implements a dedicated delta-sigma ADC per remote channel and a shared local sensor ADC, all synchronized under a single conversion engine. Its series resistance cancellation algorithm dynamically compensates for PCB trace resistance on DXP1/DXP2/DXP3–DXN paths without external calibration.
It supports programmable n-factor correction per remote channel, SMBus timeout (25–35 ms), and configurable conversion rates from 0.0625 to 8 conversions/sec. The device uses a common DXN terminal for all three remote sensors, enabling compact layout while maintaining independent channel accuracy.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Remote Accuracy | ±1°C max at +15°C to +85°C ambient, tested across multiple IC manufacturers - no per-unit calibration required. |
| Local Accuracy | ±1.5°C max over –40°C to +125°C - sufficient for die-temperature monitoring of processors and FPGAs. |
| Resolution | 12-bit for all channels (1°C high-byte + 0.0625°C low-byte) - enables precise thermal throttling thresholds. |
| Supply Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V system rails without level-shifting. |
| Quiescent Current | 32–38 μA at 0.0625 conv/sec - enables always-on thermal monitoring in power-constrained systems. |
| SMBus Clock | Up to 3.4 MHz - supports fast polling in multi-sensor thermal control loops. |
| Series R Cancellation | Up to 3 kΩ - eliminates measurement offset from long PCB traces to remote diodes. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-8 package (DCN designation), 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.0 mm body, gull-wing leads, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: DXP1 | Positive input for remote channel 1 | Connects to collector/emitter of PNP/NPN transistor or anode of diode - forms first remote sensing pair with DXN. |
| 2: DXP2 | Positive input for remote channel 2 | Independent remote sense path; shares DXN return - requires separate discrete diode/transistor. |
| 3: DXP3 | Positive input for remote channel 3 | Third independent remote input; enables full-board thermal mapping without additional ICs. |
| 4: DXN | Common negative input for all remote channels | Single return node for DXP1–DXP3 - reduces routing complexity vs. fully differential implementations. |
| 5: GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane; decoupling capacitor required near V+ and GND pins. |
| 6: SDA | SMBus data line (open-drain) | Requires external pull-up to V+; supports multi-drop bus with other SMBus devices. |
| 7: SCL | SMBus clock line (open-drain) | Shared clock with other SMBus peripherals; timing compliant with 3.4 MHz high-speed mode. |
| 8: V+ | Positive supply input | Accepts 2.7–5.5 V; internal UVLO (2.3–2.6 V) prevents erroneous readings during brownout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple remote + local sensing | Measures CPU, memory, and VRM temperatures with one IC - reduces BOM count and board area vs. dual-sensor solutions. |
| Programmable n-factor correction | Adjusts ideality factor (η = 1.008 default) per channel to match specific transistor/diode characteristics - improves accuracy across process variations. |
| Diode fault detection | Flags open/short conditions on any DXP–DXN path - enables fail-safe thermal shutdown in mission-critical systems. |
| Extended temperature range mode | Configurable via RANGE bit to support –64°C to +191°C (offset binary format) - covers cryogenic and high-temp industrial use cases. |
| Multiple SMBus addresses | A0/A1 pins allow four unique slave addresses (1001100 to 1001111) - supports up to four TMP423 devices on same bus without address conflict. |
Applications
| Processor/FPGA Thermal Monitoring | Server Blade Temperature Management |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar remote/local temperature sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TMP422AIDCNT | Dual remote channels only; identical SMBus interface, accuracy, and SOT23-8 package. | Insufficient for 3-remote-node systems; requires second IC for full coverage. | Select when only two remote points (e.g., CPU + memory) need monitoring - lower cost and power. |
| LM95235CIMMX | Two remote + one local channels; SPI interface only; ±1.5°C remote accuracy; MSOP-8 package. | Not SMBus-compatible; requires SPI host redesign; lower remote accuracy limits precision thermal control. | Choose for SPI-based microcontrollers where SMBus is unavailable - verify SPI timing margins at 3.4 MHz equivalent rate. |
Compared with TMP422AIDCNT and LM95235CIMMX, the TMP423AIDCNTG4 uniquely delivers three independent remote measurements over SMBus in SOT23-8, enabling single-chip thermal visibility across complex multi-die systems without bus arbitration or layout compromise.

FAQ
What is the SMBus address configuration for TMP423AIDCNTG4?
The TMP423AIDCNTG4 uses pins A0 and A1 to set its 7-bit SMBus slave address. With both pins grounded, the address is 1001100 (0x4C). Pulling A0 high sets 1001101 (0x4D); A1 high sets 1001110 (0x4E); both high sets 1001111 (0x4F). This allows up to four TMP423AIDCNTG4 devices on one bus without collision. All addresses are fixed and non-programmable in hardware.
Does TMP423AIDCNTG4 support extended temperature range operation?
Yes, TMP423AIDCNTG4 supports extended range mode via the RANGE bit (bit 2) in Configuration Register 1. When set, the device reports temperatures from –64°C to +191°C using offset binary format (e.g., –64°C = 0x00, +191°C = 0xFF). The local and remote channels both operate in this mode, though the IC's specified ambient range remains –40°C to +125°C per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
How does series resistance cancellation work on TMP423AIDCNTG4?
TMP423AIDCNTG4 performs automatic series resistance cancellation by applying two different current sources to the DXP–DXN path and measuring the resulting voltage difference. This algorithm removes offset errors caused by PCB trace resistance up to 3 kΩ, eliminating the need for manual calibration or external compensation components. It operates transparently during normal temperature conversions and requires no user configuration.
Can unused remote channels on TMP423AIDCNTG4 be left floating?
No, unused remote channels on TMP423AIDCNTG4 must not be left floating. Per TI SBOS398C, DXP1, DXP2, or DXP3 pins for inactive channels should be tied to GND or left open only if explicitly confirmed safe in the target application. Best practice is to connect unused DXP pins to GND through a 10-kΩ resistor to prevent noise coupling and ensure stable bias - DXN remains connected as the common return regardless of channel usage.
What is the conversion time per channel for TMP423AIDCNTG4?
The TMP423AIDCNTG4 requires 100–130 ms per channel for a full temperature conversion, depending on supply voltage and operating conditions. With three remote channels plus local, a complete acquisition cycle takes approximately 400–520 ms in default continuous mode. Conversion rate is adjustable from 0.0625 to 8 conversions/sec via the Conversion Rate Register (pointer 0Bh), allowing trade-offs between update latency and power consumption.
