About this manual

The TMP122 and TMP124 digital temperature sensors are provided in SOT23‑6 and SO‑8 packages and communicate via an SPI‑compatible interface. They deliver temperature measurements with ±2 °C accuracy over a –40 °C to +125 °C range and can operate up to 150 °C, making them suitable for power‑supply monitoring, consumer electronics, and industrial applications.

The devices feature programmable resolution (9‑ to 12‑bit plus sign), a wide supply range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V, low quiescent current (50 µA) and an ultra‑low shutdown current (0.1 µA to 1 µA). Detailed register maps, timing diagrams, and application notes are included to aid integration and firmware development.
