Typical Application (continued)

(7)

The temperature measurement accuracy of the TMP461-SP device depends on the remote and local

temperature sensor being at the same temperature as the system point being monitored. If the temperature

sensor is not in good thermal contact with the part of the system being monitored, then there is a delay between

the sensor response and the system changing temperature. This delay is usually not a concern for remote

temperature-sensing applications that use a substrate transistor (or a small, SOT23 transistor) placed close to

the device being monitored.
