Product details
Overview
TMP423BIDCNR from Texas Instruments is a triple-channel remote + local digital temperature sensor IC in SOT23-8 package, supporting ±1°C remote diode accuracy (max), 12-bit resolution per channel, and SMBus™/two-wire interface. It measures one local die temperature and three independent remote junctions (e.g., CPU, GPU, VRM) in server thermal management systems.
For engineers reviewing the TMP423BIDCNR datasheet, TMP423BIDCNR pinout, TMP423BIDCNR application, or TMP423BIDCNR equivalent, key selection criteria include remote channel count, series resistance cancellation up to 3 kΩ, n-factor correction for transistor ideality, SMBus address configurability (100 1101b), and operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient.
Technical Context
The TMP423BIDCNR implements a dedicated sigma-delta ADC per temperature channel with programmable conversion rate (0.0625–8 conversions/sec), automatic series resistance cancellation across all three remote channels, and configurable n-factor (η = 1.008 optimized) for PNP/NPN diode-connected transistors. Its SMBus interface supports write byte, read byte, send byte, and receive byte commands with 3.4 MHz max clock frequency and 25–35 ms timeout.
It features dual-mode temperature data format: standard binary (–40°C to +127°C) and extended binary (–64°C to +191°C) via RANGE bit in Configuration Register 1, with 0.0625°C resolution in low-byte fractional storage. Diode fault detection and open-circuit monitoring are implemented per remote channel using DXP1/DXP2/DXP3-to-DXN differential sensing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Remote Accuracy | ±1°C max at +15°C to +85°C ambient, ±3°C max over full –40°C to +125°C ambient range - enables high-confidence thermal throttling without calibration. |
| Local Accuracy | ±1.5°C max over –40°C to +125°C - sufficient for on-die reference against remote hotspots. |
| Resolution | 12-bit (1°C integer + 0.0625°C fractional) - supports precise delta-T monitoring between processor cores and heatsink. |
| 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; 400–525 μA at 8 conv/sec - scalable power for burst vs. continuous monitoring modes. |
| SMBus Address | 100 1101b (0x4D) - fixed for TMP423B variant, enabling multi-sensor bus addressing without external jumpers. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C ambient - qualified for industrial and telecom equipment environments. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-8 package (DCN designation), 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.0 mm body, gull-wing leads, JEDEC MO-178AC compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - DXP1 | Remote Channel 1 positive input | Connects to collector/base of PNP or emitter/base of NPN remote diode; requires no external biasing. |
| 2 - DXP2 | Remote Channel 2 positive input | Independent sensing node for second thermal zone; shares common DXN return path. |
| 3 - DXP3 | Remote Channel 3 positive input | Third independent remote sensing point; enables tri-point board-level thermal profiling. |
| 4 - DXN | Common remote negative input | Shared cathode/anode return for all three remote channels; reduces PCB routing complexity. |
| 5 - GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane to minimize noise coupling into remote sensing paths. |
| 6 - SDA | SMBus data line (open-drain) | Requires external pull-up resistor to V+; supports multi-drop bus with other SMBus slaves. |
| 7 - SCL | SMBus clock line (open-drain) | Driven by host controller; 3.4 MHz max frequency enables fast polling of all four temperature registers. |
| 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 | Simultaneous monitoring of CPU, memory, and VRM temperatures in single IC - eliminates need for multiple discrete sensors and I²C address conflicts. |
| Series resistance cancellation | Compensates up to 3 kΩ trace resistance per remote channel - removes PCB layout-induced temperature offset without calibration. |
| Programmable n-factor | Fixed η = 1.008 optimized for standard PNP/NPN transistors - ensures accurate remote junction modeling without manual tuning. |
| Diode fault detection | Auto-detects open-circuit, short-circuit, and reverse-biased conditions on each DXP/DXN pair - prevents false thermal shutdowns. |
| Extended temperature range | Configurable –64°C to +191°C mode via RANGE bit - supports cold-storage or high-temp industrial applications beyond default –40°C to +127°C. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multi-channel remote temperature sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TMP423AIDCNR | SMBus address 100 1100b (0x4C); identical electrical specs and pinout. | No functional difference; used where 0x4C address is required in multi-sensor bus topology. | Select TMP423AIDCNR only when bus address conflict with existing 0x4D devices necessitates alternate addressing. |
| LM95235CIMMX/NOPB | Two remote + one local channels; ±1.5°C remote accuracy; SPI-only interface; no series resistance cancellation. | Limited to dual-zone monitoring; requires SPI host and external compensation for PCB trace resistance. | Choose LM95235CIMMX/NOPB only if SPI interface is mandated and third remote channel is not required. |
Compared with TMP423AIDCNR, TMP423BIDCNR offers identical performance but fixed 0x4D addressing for deterministic bus allocation; versus LM95235CIMMX/NOPB, it delivers superior remote accuracy, triple-channel capability, and built-in series resistance cancellation - critical for high-density server thermal designs.

FAQ
What is the SMBus address of the TMP423BIDCNR?
The TMP423BIDCNR has a fixed SMBus slave address of 100 1101b (0x4D), determined by its internal A1/A0 logic configuration. This address is distinct from TMP423AIDCNR (0x4C) and allows coexistence on the same SMBus segment when both variants are deployed. The address cannot be changed externally - it is hardwired per device variant.
How many remote temperature channels does the TMP423BIDCNR support?
The TMP423BIDCNR supports exactly three remote temperature sensing channels (via DXP1, DXP2, DXP3) plus one local die temperature channel. Each remote channel uses a dedicated positive input tied to a common DXN return, enabling independent measurement of three discrete thermal zones such as CPU, memory, and VRM in a single SOT23-8 package.
Does the TMP423BIDCNR require external calibration for remote diode accuracy?
No, the TMP423BIDCNR achieves ±1°C remote diode accuracy (max) across multiple IC manufacturers without factory or field calibration. This is enabled by its integrated series resistance cancellation circuitry and fixed n-factor (η = 1.008) optimized for standard PNP/NPN transistors - eliminating the need for user-defined compensation coefficients or lookup tables.
What is the maximum series resistance the TMP423BIDCNR can cancel on remote sensing lines?
The TMP423BIDCNR cancels up to 3 kΩ of series resistance per remote channel (DXP1–DXP3 to DXN), compensating for PCB trace resistance and connector contact resistance. This capability is confirmed in TI's SBOS398C datasheet Figure 4 and Figure 5, and ensures accurate remote junction temperature measurement without layout constraints or external RC filtering.
Can the TMP423BIDCNR operate with a 2.5 V supply voltage?
No, the TMP423BIDCNR requires a minimum supply voltage of 2.7 V per its Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Operation below 2.7 V may trigger undervoltage lockout (UVLO threshold 2.3–2.6 V), resulting in invalid temperature readings or communication failure. For 2.5 V systems, consider the TMP421C (DSBGA-8, 2.55 V min) or alternative families.
