Product details
Overview
TMP513AIRSAR from Texas Instruments is a triple-channel temperature and high-side current/power monitor IC integrating one local diode sensor, three remote diode sensor channels (DXP1/DXN1, DXP2/DXN2, DXP3/DXN3), a 12-bit ADC, series resistance cancellation, and SMBus-compatible two-wire interface. It measures local/remote temperatures (±1°C remote accuracy), bus voltage (0–26 V), current (via shunt), and power (in watts) for real-time system health monitoring in server power rails and FPGA thermal management.
For engineers reviewing the TMP513AIRSAR datasheet, TMP513AIRSAR pinout, TMP513AIRSAR application, or TMP513AIRSAR equivalent, key selection criteria include its triple remote channel support, ±1°C remote diode sensing accuracy across –40°C to +125°C, integrated series resistance cancellation up to 3 kΩ, 12-bit ADC with programmable PGA (÷1 to ÷8), and SMBus alert functionality for over/under-limit watchdogs.
Technical Context
The TMP513AIRSAR implements a dedicated analog front-end with differential shunt voltage inputs (VIN+, VIN–), three independent remote diode excitation channels, and a local temperature sensor-all digitized by a single 12-bit successive-approximation ADC. Its internal subregulator supports three configuration modes (V+ = 3–5.5 V or 4.5–26 V) to enable flexible bus voltage measurement ranges (0–26 V) while maintaining accurate current sensing.
It uses sequential current sourcing (120 μA / 60 μA / 12 μA / 6 μA) per remote channel, n-factor correction (default 1.008), and built-in series resistance cancellation to eliminate PCB trace-induced temperature offset. The SMBus interface supports standard read/write commands, alert masking, and 28-ms timeout protection.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar temperature and current monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TMP512AIRSAT | Dual-channel (2 remote + 1 local) vs. TMP513AIRSAR's triple-channel; same accuracy, PGA, SMBus features; QFN-16 package | Lacks third remote channel; suitable for dual-processor systems but not triple-zone monitoring | Select TMP512AIRSAT only when exactly two remote sensors are required and QFN footprint is preferred |
| INA226AIDGST | Current/voltage/power monitor only-no temperature sensing; 16-bit delta-sigma ADC; higher current accuracy (±0.1%) but no diode interface | No local/remote temperature capability; requires external temperature IC for thermal correlation | Choose INA226AIDGST when precision power metrics dominate and thermal sensing is handled separately |
Compared with TMP512AIRSAT, TMP513AIRSAR adds a third remote channel for expanded thermal visibility without sacrificing accuracy or SMBus compatibility; versus INA226AIDGST, it integrates temperature sensing but trades 16-bit power resolution for unified system monitoring capability.

FAQ
What is the remote temperature accuracy specification for TMP513AIRSAR over its full operating range?
The TMP513AIRSAR specifies ±1°C remote temperature accuracy over –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature and –40°C to +150°C remote diode temperature, validated across multiple IC manufacturers' transistors without calibration. This accuracy holds under all three subregulator configurations and includes compensation for series resistance up to 3 kΩ. The ±1°C value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (page 5) of SBOS491A for TEREMOTE at TA = –40°C to +125°C.
How does TMP513AIRSAR handle series resistance in remote diode traces, and what is the maximum supported value?
TMP513AIRSAR implements automatic series resistance cancellation using dual-current excitation and ΔVBE computation, eliminating offset errors caused by PCB trace resistance. It supports up to 3 kΩ total series resistance across both DXP and DXN lines per channel, as verified in Figure 15 and the Series Resistance Cancellation section (page 13). No external components or firmware calibration are required-the feature is always active and transparent to the user.
What are the valid supply voltage ranges for TMP513AIRSAR, and how do they relate to subregulator configuration modes?
TMP513AIRSAR operates from V+ = +3 V to +26 V, but allowable ranges depend on subregulator mode: Configuration 1 requires V+ = 4.5–26 V (bus range 4.5–26 V); Configuration 2 uses V+ = 4.5–26 V (bus range 0–26 V); Configuration 3 restricts V+ to 3–5.5 V (bus range 0–26 V). These modes are set by external connections to Filter C and V+, not registers. All modes maintain ±1% current measurement accuracy and ±1°C remote sensing.
Can TMP513AIRSAR measure both current and power simultaneously with temperature, and how is power calculated?
Yes, TMP513AIRSAR concurrently measures shunt voltage (VIN+–VIN–), bus voltage (VIN– to GND), and temperature. Power is calculated internally as (shunt voltage / shunt resistance) × bus voltage, with results reported directly in watts via the Power Register. The device uses a programmable calibration value and internal digital multiplier-no host MCU computation is needed. Current is reported in amps, voltage in volts, and power in watts, all accessible via SMBus reads.
What is the function of the ALERT pin on TMP513AIRSAR, and how is it configured?
The ALERT pin on TMP513AIRSAR is an open-drain SMBus alert output that asserts low when any enabled limit (temperature upper/lower, voltage upper/lower, or current upper/lower) is violated. It is controlled by the SMBus Alert Mask Register (address 0Ch)-each bit enables/disables alert generation for a specific limit. Default state is disabled; configuration requires writing to the mask register and setting corresponding threshold registers. The pin supports standard SMBus Alert Response Protocol for automatic slave address identification.
