DESCRIPTION
The TMP121 and TMP123 are SPI-compatible tempera-
ture sensors available in the tiny SOT23-6 package.
Requiring no external components, the TMP121 and
TMP123 are capable of measuring temperatures within
2°C of accuracy over a temperature range of −40°C to
+125°C. Low supply current, and a supply range from 2.7V
to 5.5V, make the TMP121 and TMP123 excellent
candidates for low-power applications.
The TMP121 and TMP123 are ideal for extended thermal
measurement in a variety of communication, computer,
consumer, environmental, industrial, and instrumentation
applications.

(1) Stresses above these ratings may cause permanent damage.
Exposure to absolute maximum conditions for extended periods
may degrade device reliability. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions
beyond those specified is not supported.
(2) Input voltage rating applies to all TMP121 and TMP123 input
voltages.
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas
Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be
handled with appropriate precautions. Failure to observe
proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to
complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could
cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The TMP121 and TMP123 are 12-bit plus sign read-only
digital temperature sensors optimal for thermal
management and thermal protection applications. The
TMP121 and the TMP123 communicate through a serial
interface that is SPI-compatible. Temperature is converted
to a 12-bit plus sign data word with 0.0625°C resolution.
The TMP121 and TMP123 are specified for a temperature
range of −40°C to +125°C, with operation extending from
−55°C to +150°C.
The TMP121 and TMP123 are optimal for low power
applications, with a 0.5s conversion period for reduced
power consumption. The TMP121 and TMP123 are
specified for a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V, and
also feature a hardware shutdown to provide additional
power savings.
The TMP121 and TMP123 require no external
components for operation, though a 0.1µF supply bypass
capacitor is recommended. Figure 1 shows typical
connections for the TMP121 and TMP123.
TEMPERATURE REGISTER
The Temperature Register of the TMP121 and TMP123 is
a 16-bit, signed read-only register that stores the output of
the most recent conversion. Up to 16 bits can be read to
obtain data and are described in Table 1. The first 13 bits
are used to indicate temperature with bits D2 = 0, and D1,
D0 in a high impedance state. Data format for temperature
is summarized in Table 2. Following power-up or reset, the
Temperature Register will read 0°C until the first
conversion is complete.

NOTE: (1) Pins labeled NC should be left floating or connected to GND.
Figure 1. Typical Connections of the TMP121 and
TMP123
The sensing device of both the TMP121 and TMP123 is
the chip itself; the die flag of the lead frame is thermally
connected to pin 2 of the TMP121, and of the TMP123.
Thermal paths run through the package leads as well as
the plastic package, and the lower thermal resistance of
metal causes the leads to provide the primary thermal
path. The GND pin (pin 2) of the TMP121 and the NC pin
(pin 2) of the TMP123 are thermally connected to the metal
lead frame, and are the best choice for thermal input.
To maintain accuracy in applications requiring air or
surface temperature measurement, care should be taken
to isolate the package and leads from ambient air
temperature.
The TMP121 and TMP123 continuously convert
temperatures to digital data while CS is high. CS must be
high for a minimum of one conversion time (320ms max)
to update the temperature data. Reading temperature data
from the TMP121 and TMP123 is initiated by pulling CS
low, which will cause any conversion in progress to
terminate, and place the device into analog shutdown.
Quiescent current is reduced to 1µA during analog
shutdown. Once CS is pulled low, temperature data from
the last completed conversion prior to dropping CS is
latched into the shift register and clocked out at SO on the
falling SCK edge. The 16-bit data word is clocked out sign
bit first, followed by the MSB. Any portion of the 16-bit word
can be read before raising CS. The TMP121 and TMP123
typically require 0.25s to complete a conversion and
consume 50µA of current during this period. If CS is held
high for longer than one conversion time period the
TMP121 and TMP123 will go into idle mode for 0.25s,
requiring only 20µA of current. A new conversion begins
every 0.5s. Figure 2 describes the conversion timing for
the TMP121 and TMP123.
