High accuracy component temperature monitoring is essential in both applications where temperature compensation is needed, or where a system requires safety shutoff limits. This type of component specific temperature monitoring can be done very well with an ultra-thin integrated temperature sensor such as the TMP114 or TMP144 temperature sensors, which can be placed underneath a device to provide the closest possible proximity and by extension, the best temperature correlation.
This style of design can respond more quickly to sudden temperature changes than a heat sink mounted sensor, and returns more accurate results than a sensor placed adjacent to the device to be monitored. Under-component temperature monitoring can be considered when the board layout is space-constrained and the component to be monitored has adequate clearance for the sensor.
