  • Lower cost (vs TMP451-Q1)

Design Notes

For accurate remote temperature sensing, route the D+ and D- traces as a differential pair, keeping them close together and away from noisy signals. Use a guard ring around the traces if possible. Minimize trace length to reduce series resistance, which the TMP411-Q1 can correct up to 3kΩ. Place a 0.1µF bypass capacitor close to the V+ pin.

Ensure the remote sensing transistor is a diode-connected NPN/PNP or a dedicated thermal diode. The N-factor of the transistor must be known to configure the N-factor correction register. Incorrect N-factor settings can lead to temperature errors. Also, avoid routing D+ and D- near high-frequency switching signals to prevent noise coupling.

The TMP411-Q1 itself generates minimal heat, but the remote sensing diode should be placed close to the heat source for accurate measurement. The local sensor measures the PCB temperature near the IC, which may be lower than the component temperature. For best accuracy, use the remote channel for critical components.
