Product details
Overview
TMP451HQDQWRQ1 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, and SMBus™/two-wire interface - used for precision thermal monitoring in engine control units, infotainment processors, and LED headlight drivers.
For engineers reviewing the TMP451HQDQWRQ1 datasheet, TMP451HQDQWRQ1 pinout, TMP451HQDQWRQ1 application, or TMP451HQDQWRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include remote diode series-resistance cancellation (up to 1 kΩ), programmable η-factor and offset correction, dual open-drain thermal alert outputs (THERM/ALERT), wettable-flank WSON-8 package compatibility, and operation across –40°C to 125°C ambient.
Technical Context
The TMP451HQDQWRQ1 implements a dual-channel 12-bit ADC architecture: one channel digitizes its 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. Its SMBus interface supports fast-mode (400 kHz) and high-speed mode (2.5 MHz) timing with built-in spike suppression and Schmitt triggers on SDA/SCL.
It features two independent open-drain digital outputs - THERM (pin 4) and ALERT/THERM2 (pin 6) - each configurable with programmable hysteresis and consecutive-limit-violation filtering (1–4 samples). Shutdown mode reduces quiescent current to 3 µA, and the device includes diode fault detection (open/short) and programmable digital filtering (Level 1: 4-sample moving average; Level 2: 8-sample).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Local Accuracy | ±1°C max over –40°C to 125°C ambient; enables reliable junction temperature tracking without calibration in ECU/TCM environments. |
| Remote Accuracy | ±1°C max (0°C–70°C ambient, –55°C–150°C diode); validated with series resistance ≤1 kΩ and differential capacitance ≤1000 pF. |
| Resolution | 0.0625°C (12-bit) for both local and remote channels; supports fine-grained thermal throttling decisions in LED headlight drivers. |
| Supply Range | 1.7 V to 3.6 V; compatible with automotive 3.3-V and 2.5-V domain rails without level-shifting. |
| Operating Current | 27 µA typical at 1 conversion/sec; allows continuous monitoring in always-on vehicle subsystems with minimal battery drain. |
| SMBus Speed | Up to 2.5 MHz; supports high-throughput thermal polling in multi-sensor configurations on shared bus segments. |
| Package | 8-pin WSON (DQW) with 2.50 mm × 2.50 mm wettable flanks; enables automated optical inspection (AOI) and robust solder-joint reliability in automotive reflow profiles. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin WSON (DQW) with 2.50 mm × 2.50 mm body and wettable flanks - optimized for automotive-grade solder joint inspection and thermal performance (RθJA = 128.5°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ | Power supply input | Accepts 1.7–3.6 V; powers internal regulator and ADC; POR threshold at 1.2–1.55 V ensures clean startup in noisy automotive rails. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for analog and digital sections; decoupling capacitor placement critical for remote measurement noise immunity. |
| D+ | Remote sensor positive input | Analog input for diode anode or PNP emitter; includes fault detection for >V+–0.3 V and open-circuit conditions. |
| D− | Remote sensor negative input | Analog input for diode cathode or PNP collector; paired with D+ for differential remote junction sensing. |
| THERM | Digital output (open-drain) | Configurable thermal shutdown/fan-control signal; asserts low when local or remote exceeds programmed limit minus hysteresis. |
| ALERT/THERM2 | Digital output (open-drain) | Secondary interrupt output; can be configured as alternate THERM or SMBus alert; requires external pullup to 1.7–3.6 V. |
| SDA | Bidirectional SMBus data line | Open-drain I/O with integrated Schmitt trigger; supports fast/high-speed modes; requires pullup resistor per SMBus spec. |
| SCL | SMBus clock input | Input-only clock line with spike suppression; synchronizes register reads/writes; compatible with 1 kHz–2.5 MHz clocks. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Series resistance cancellation | Compensates up to 1 kΩ of PCB trace or filter resistor error in remote diode path - eliminates need for board-level calibration. |
| Programmable η-factor | Adjusts ideality factor (default 1.008) to match specific transistor/diode physics - improves remote accuracy across process variations. |
| Offset correction | Per-channel user-programmable offset (±127°C range) corrects systematic errors from layout asymmetry or sensor mismatch. |
| Programmable digital filter | Two-level moving-average filter (4- or 8-sample) suppresses transient noise on remote channel - reduces false THERM assertions. |
| Diode fault detection | Real-time open/short detection on D+ input; sets OPEN bit in status register - prevents invalid temperature reporting in degraded conditions. |

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 sensor; no remote diode interface, no series-resistance cancellation, no η-factor tuning. | Limited to ambient or package-surface monitoring; unsuitable for SoC/ASIC junction sensing. | Select only when remote sensing is unnecessary and AEC-Q100 qualification is not required. |
| MAX6642AESA+ | Remote+local sensing but lacks wettable-flank package, series-resistance cancellation, and programmable digital filter. | Lower noise immunity in high-EMI engine compartments; requires external calibration for trace resistance effects. | Consider only for non-automotive industrial use where AOI capability and ±1°C remote accuracy are secondary. |
Compared with LM75BIMMX/NOPB and MAX6642AESA+, the TMP451HQDQWRQ1 uniquely delivers automotive-grade dual-channel accuracy with hardware-assisted remote error correction, making it the only option qualified for direct integration into AEC-Q100 Grade 1 ECU, TCM, and BCM thermal architectures.

FAQ
What is the maximum series resistance the TMP451HQDQWRQ1 can cancel in remote diode measurements?
The TMP451HQDQWRQ1 supports series resistance cancellation up to 1 kΩ in the remote diode path - compensating for PCB trace resistance and optional low-pass filter resistors without requiring external calibration. This capability is confirmed in Figure 6-5 of the official datasheet and applies directly to the TMP451HQDQWRQ1 under recommended operating conditions (TA = –40°C to 125°C, V+ = 1.7 V to 3.6 V).
Does the TMP451HQDQWRQ1 support both local and remote temperature sensing simultaneously?
Yes, the TMP451HQDQWRQ1 performs concurrent local (on-die thermal transistor) and remote (external diode) temperature measurements with 0.0625°C resolution per channel. Each channel uses independent 12-bit ADCs and registers, and conversion results are stored separately - enabling real-time thermal profiling of both ambient environment and semiconductor junctions in the same device.
What package type does the TMP451HQDQWRQ1 use, and why is it significant for automotive applications?
The TMP451HQDQWRQ1 uses an 8-pin WSON package with wettable flanks (DQW, 2.50 mm × 2.50 mm). This package enables automatic optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints - reducing post-reflow defect escape rates in high-reliability automotive manufacturing. Its RθJA of 128.5°C/W and qualified AEC-Q100 Grade 1 rating (–40°C to 125°C) make it suitable for under-hood and cabin modules.
Can the TMP451HQDQWRQ1 operate on a 2.5-V supply rail?
Yes, the TMP451HQDQWRQ1 operates across a 1.7-V to 3.6-V supply range, fully supporting 2.5-V logic and power domains. Its SMBus interface pins (SCL, SDA, ALERT/THERM2, THERM) accept pull-up voltages from 1.7 V to 3.6 V, ensuring interoperability with mixed-voltage automotive subsystems without level shifters.
How does the programmable digital filter in the TMP451HQDQWRQ1 improve thermal measurement reliability?
The TMP451HQDQWRQ1's programmable digital filter applies a moving average to remote temperature samples - Level 1 averages four consecutive readings, Level 2 averages eight. This suppresses transient noise from nearby switching regulators or CAN transceivers, reducing false THERM assertions and improving stability of thermal control loops in electric powertrain modules.
