TMP102 Archives

In this article we look at the TMP102 digital sensor and we will connect it up to an STM32 Nucleo – the example code is written in the Arduino IDE

The TMP102 device is a digital temperature sensor ideal for NTC/PTC thermistor replacement where high accuracy is required. The device offers an accuracy of ±0.5°C without requiring calibration or external component signal conditioning. Device temperature sensors are highly linear and do not require complex calculations or lookup tables to derive the temperature. The on-chip 12-bit ADC offers resolutions down to 0.0625°C.

The TMP102 device features SMBus™, two-wire and I²C interface compatibility, and allows up to four devices on one bus. The device also features an SMBus alert function. The device is specified to operate over supply voltages from 1.4 to 3.6 V with the maximum quiescent current of 10 µA over the full operating range.

The TMP102 device is ideal for extended temperature measurement in a variety of communication, computer, consumer, environmental, industrial, and instrumentation applications. The device is specified for operation over a temperature range of –40°C to 125°C.

Output

Open the serial monitor window and you should see something like this

firstbyte is 10101
secondbyte is 10000
Concatenated byte is 101010001
Converted temp is 21.06
Corrected temp is 16.06

firstbyte is 10100
secondbyte is 11100000
Concatenated byte is 101001110
Converted temp is 20.87
Corrected temp is 15.88
