Building upon the high accuracy TMP117 device, the TMP1826 digital integrated ±0.2°C temperature sensor, compatible with 1-Wire® protocol has been developed. The use of 1-Wire® protocol enables the implementation of two-wire digital temperature sensors as an alternative to the common two-wire RTD100/500/1000 sensors. While the exterior look and feel of analog RTD elements and TMP1826 1-Wire™ temperature sensors are identical, it is important to note that these are not pin-to-pin compatible. The legacy analog result elements require a programmable current source excitation to measure the voltage drop across the PT element inside using a precision ADC, such as ADS1220. The digital sensor needs a simple digital 1-wire protocol to a MCU core, with one data line and one ground line.
With TMP1826 and the pin-to-pin TMP1827 with integrated SHA-256 authenticator, TI enables significant system cost reductions by radically simplifying the manufacturing flow for thermal meters calibration.
