Product details
Overview
TMP451HQDQFRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive-qualified digital temperature sensor with integrated local and remote (diode-based) sensing channels, ±1°C accuracy (0°C–70°C), 0.0625°C resolution, 1.7–3.6 V supply range, and SMBus-compatible two-wire interface - used for precision thermal monitoring in ECU, TCM, and BCM processor subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the TMP451HQDQFRQ1 datasheet, TMP451HQDQFRQ1 pinout, TMP451HQDQFRQ1 application, or TMP451HQDQFRQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include series-resistance cancellation capability (up to 1 kΩ), programmable η-factor and offset correction, dual digital filter levels, diode fault detection, and wettable-flank WSON-8 (2.0 mm × 2.0 mm) packaging for AVI-compliant solder joint inspection.
Technical Context
The TMP451HQDQFRQ1 implements a dual-channel 12-bit ADC architecture: one channel digitizes the on-die thermal transistor (local), while the other measures voltage across an external NPN/PNP or substrate diode (remote), applying real-time series-resistance cancellation and η-factor compensation. It supports extended temperature measurement range (–64°C to 191°C) via configurable RANGE bit and stores results in high/low byte registers with 0.0625°C resolution.
Its SMBus slave interface operates at up to 2.5 MHz, includes built-in Schmitt triggers and spike suppression on SDA/SCL, and supports programmable ALERT/THERM2 interrupt behavior with hysteresis and consecutive-limit-violation filtering (1–4 violations). Shutdown mode reduces quiescent current to 3 µA, and conversion rate is configurable from 0.0625 Hz to 32 Hz.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin WSON (DQF), 2.00 mm × 2.00 mm, wettable flanks, nominal 0.5 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM75BIMMX/NOPB | Single-channel (local only), ±2°C accuracy, no series-resistance cancellation or η-factor tuning | Lacks remote diode sensing; suitable only for ambient monitoring, not processor junction tracking | Select when only local temperature is required and cost sensitivity outweighs accuracy and feature needs |
| MAX6642AESA+ | Remote-only (no local sensor), ±1°C accuracy, fixed 1.5 kΩ series-resistance cancellation, no programmable digital filter | Requires separate local sensor; lacks dual-alert outputs and wettable-flank package for automotive AVI | Choose for legacy remote-only designs where SMBus compatibility and basic diode sensing suffice |
Compared with LM75BIMMX/NOPB and MAX6642AESA+, the TMP451HQDQFRQ1 uniquely integrates local + remote sensing, full η-factor/offset programmability, and wettable-flank packaging - making it the only option qualified for AEC-Q100 Grade 1 multi-sensor thermal management in modern ECUs and ADAS domains.

FAQ
What is the maximum series resistance cancellation capability of the TMP451HQDQFRQ1?
The TMP451HQDQFRQ1 supports series resistance cancellation up to 1 kΩ on the remote sensor inputs (D+ and D−). This feature actively compensates for PCB trace resistance and optional external filter resistors, eliminating associated temperature measurement errors without requiring manual calibration or external circuitry. The cancellation is applied automatically during each remote temperature conversion, and its effectiveness is confirmed in Figure 6-5 of the official datasheet.
Does the TMP451HQDQFRQ1 support both local and remote temperature sensing simultaneously?
Yes, the TMP451HQDQFRQ1 integrates two independent temperature sensing channels: a local sensor measuring the die temperature and a remote channel measuring an external diode (e.g., from a microcontroller or FPGA). Both channels operate concurrently, provide 12-bit results (0.0625°C resolution), and are accessible via separate SMBus registers. The device performs one-shot or continuous conversions for both channels, with total conversion time of 34 ms in default mode.
What package type and dimensions does the TMP451HQDQFRQ1 use?
The TMP451HQDQFRQ1 is packaged in an 8-pin WSON (DQF) variant measuring 2.00 mm × 2.00 mm with wettable flanks. This package features a nominal 0.5 mm pitch and exposes solderable sidewalls to enable automated visual inspection (AVI) of solder joints - a critical requirement for automotive manufacturing. It is distinct from the larger 2.50 mm × 2.50 mm DQW variant, and the DQF footprint is specified in TI's SLOS877C datasheet revision C.
How does the programmable digital filter in the TMP451HQDQFRQ1 improve measurement robustness?
The TMP451HQDQFRQ1 includes a programmable digital filter that applies a moving average to remote temperature samples - either 4 samples (Level 1) or 8 samples (Level 2). This filter reduces the impact of transient noise (e.g., from switching regulators or CAN bus activity) before the value is written to the result register and compared against ALERT/THERM limits. Because the filter output drives the interrupt logic, it prevents spurious thermal alerts in electrically noisy automotive environments.
Is the TMP451HQDQFRQ1 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMP451HQDQFRQ1 is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications, specifically Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C ambient operating temperature). It meets stringent reliability requirements including HBM ±2 kV ESD rating and CDM ±750 V (corner pins), and is designed for use in safety-critical subsystems such as engine control units, transmission control modules, and body control modules. Its qualification status is documented in Section 1 of the SLOS877C datasheet.
