Product details
Overview
TMP451HQDQFTQ1 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 (–40°C to 125°C), 0.0625°C resolution, 1.7–3.6 V supply range, and SMBus™/two-wire interface - deployed for real-time thermal monitoring of ECUs, TCUs, and LED headlight drivers.
For engineers reviewing the TMP451HQDQFTQ1 datasheet, TMP451HQDQFTQ1 pinout, TMP451HQDQFTQ1 application, or TMP451HQDQFTQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its series-resistance cancellation (up to 1 kΩ), programmable η-factor and offset correction, dual open-drain thermal alert outputs (THERM/ALERT), diode fault detection, and wettable-flank 2.0 mm × 2.0 mm WSON package for automated optical inspection.
Technical Context
The TMP451HQDQFTQ1 implements a dual-channel 12-bit ADC architecture: one channel digitizes the on-die thermal transistor (local), while the other measures voltage across external NPN/PNP or substrate diodes (remote), using current-source excitation (7.5/45/120 µA selectable). It applies real-time series-resistance cancellation and η-factor compensation before storing temperature data in high/low byte registers.
Its SMBus interface supports Fast Mode (≤400 kHz) and High-Speed Mode (≤2.5 MHz), with built-in spike suppression, Schmitt-trigger inputs, and programmable digital filtering (Level 1: 4-sample moving average; Level 2: 8-sample moving average) applied exclusively to remote temperature results prior to limit comparison and ALERT/THERM assertion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Local/Remote Accuracy | ±1°C max over –40°C to 125°C ambient - enables direct use in automotive ECU thermal throttling without calibration. |
| Resolution | 0.0625°C (12-bit) for both channels - supports fine-grained fan speed or LED dimming control steps. |
| Supply Range | 1.7 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 1.8 V and 3.3 V automotive domain controllers and I/O rails. |
| Operating Current | 27 µA typical at 1 conversion/sec - allows continuous monitoring in always-on vehicle modules without battery drain. |
| Series Resistance Cancellation | Up to 1 kΩ - eliminates PCB trace resistance error in remote sensor routing without manual offset tuning. |
| Digital Filter | Programmable 4- or 8-sample moving average on remote channel only - suppresses noise-induced false thermal alerts in noisy engine-bay environments. |
| Package | 8-pin WSON (DQF), 2.00 mm × 2.00 mm with standard footprint - supports high-density automotive PCB layouts and AVI-compatible solder joint inspection. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin WSON (DQF), 2.00 mm × 2.00 mm body size, non-leaded, wettable flanks - optimized for automated optical inspection and high-reliability automotive reflow.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ | Power supply input | Accepts 1.7–3.6 V; powers internal regulator, ADC, and logic - requires local 100-nF ceramic decoupling. |
| GND | Ground reference | Analog and digital common return - must be low-impedance connection to minimize measurement noise. |
| SCL | SMBus clock input | Open-drain, Schmitt-triggered; requires external pullup to 1.7–3.6 V - defines bus timing and synchronization. |
| SDA | SMBus bidirectional data | Open-drain, Schmitt-triggered; requires external pullup - carries address, command, and temperature data. |
| THERM | Thermal shutdown output | Open-drain, active-low; asserts when local or remote exceeds programmed limit - drives fan or processor throttle directly. |
| ALERT/THERM2 | Configurable interrupt output | Open-drain, programmable as second THERM or SMBus alert - enables dual-threshold or fault-signaling schemes. |
| D+ | Remote sensor positive input | Analog input for diode anode or PNP emitter - includes fault detection for open/short conditions. |
| D− | Remote sensor negative input | Analog input for diode cathode or NPN collector - differential pair rejects common-mode noise on long traces. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Series resistance cancellation | Compensates up to 1 kΩ trace resistance in remote diode paths - removes fixed offset error without firmware intervention. |
| Programmable η-factor | Adjusts ideality factor (default 1.008) to match specific transistor/diode characteristics - improves remote accuracy across process variations. |
| Diode fault detection | Identifies open-circuit, short-circuit (–64°C), and reverse-connection faults on D+/D− - prevents invalid thermal decisions in safety-critical systems. |
| Wettable flanks package | 2.0 mm × 2.0 mm WSON with solderable side walls - enables automated visual inspection of solder fillets for zero-defect automotive assembly. |
| Two independent thermal outputs | THERM and ALERT/THERM2 support separate trip thresholds and hysteresis - allows hierarchical thermal management (e.g., warning + shutdown). |
Applications
| Automotive Infotainment SoC Monitoring | ECU Processor Thermal Throttling |

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 | Local-only sensor; no remote channel, no series-resistance cancellation, no η-factor tuning; ±2°C accuracy; 8-pin SOIC. | Restricted to ambient or single-die monitoring; unsuitable for multi-point or diode-based junction sensing. | Select only if system uses only local temperature and cost is primary constraint - lacks automotive qualification and remote capability. |
| MAX6642AESA+ | Local + remote sensing; ±2°C accuracy; no series-resistance cancellation; fixed η = 1.008; 8-pin SOIC; 2.7–5.5 V supply. | Lower accuracy limits use in tight thermal margins; wider supply range increases design flexibility but excludes 1.8 V domains. | Consider for non-AEC-Q100 industrial applications requiring dual-channel sensing without advanced compensation features. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the TMP451HQDQFTQ1?
The TMP451HQDQFTQ1 is qualified for automotive Grade 1 operation, with a specified ambient operating temperature range of –40°C to 125°C. Its local and remote temperature sensors maintain ±1°C maximum accuracy across this full range, and the device supports junction temperatures up to 150°C per absolute maximum ratings - making it suitable for under-hood and powertrain applications where thermal stress is extreme.
Does the TMP451HQDQFTQ1 support remote temperature sensing with discrete transistors?
Yes, the TMP451HQDQFTQ1 supports remote temperature sensing using low-cost discrete NPN or PNP transistors, as well as substrate thermal transistors or diodes integrated into microprocessors, microcontrollers, or FPGAs. Its programmable η-factor (default 1.008) and series-resistance cancellation (up to 1 kΩ) ensure accurate junction temperature readings regardless of transistor type or PCB trace resistance - all without external calibration.
How does the digital filter in the TMP451HQDQFTQ1 improve thermal measurement reliability?
The TMP451HQDQFTQ1 includes a programmable digital filter applied exclusively to remote temperature measurements: Level 1 performs a 4-sample moving average, and Level 2 performs an 8-sample moving average. This reduces susceptibility to transient noise on D+/D− lines - such as EMI from nearby switching regulators - ensuring that ALERT and THERM outputs respond only to sustained thermal events, not momentary spikes.
What package options are available for the TMP451HQDQFTQ1, and why does the DQF variant matter?
The TMP451HQDQFTQ1 is offered in two 8-pin WSON variants: DQF (2.00 mm × 2.00 mm) and DQW (2.50 mm × 2.50 mm with wettable flanks). The DQF package used in TMP451HQDQFTQ1 provides the smallest footprint for space-constrained automotive modules and features standard wettable flanks - enabling automated visual inspection (AVI) of solder joints to meet zero-defect manufacturing standards in Tier-1 production.
Can the TMP451HQDQFTQ1 detect faults in the remote temperature sensor connection?
Yes, the TMP451HQDQFTQ1 includes dedicated diode fault detection on the D+ and D− inputs. It identifies open-circuit conditions (sets OPEN bit in status register), short-circuits (returns –64°C), and reverse-connection faults. The detection circuit uses a voltage comparator that trips when D+ exceeds (V+) – 0.3 V, and the result is continuously checked during each conversion - providing fail-safe thermal monitoring for ASIL-compliant systems.
