About this manual

The A2TPMI is a versatile infrared thermopile sensor that integrates a configurable ASIC for signal processing and ambient temperature compensation. It provides a compact TO‑39 package with a digital serial interface (SCLK, SDAT) for calibration and configuration, making it suitable for remote temperature measurement, alarm switching, and climate control in appliances, automotive, and industrial equipment.

Key specifications include a supply voltage of 4.5 V–5.5 V, operating temperature range of –25 °C to 100 °C, and selectable optical configurations (standard, high‑cap, low‑cap, lens caps) offering fields of view from 5° to 70°. The device offers both ambient‑compensated and non‑compensated output voltages, programmable comparators, and a reference voltage of 1.225 V.
