GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TMP12 is a silicon-based airflow and temperature sensor
designed to be placed in the same airstream as heat generating
components that require cooling. Fan cooling may be required
continuously, or during peak power demands, e.g. for a power
supply, and if the cooling systems fails, system reliability and/or
safety may be impaired. By monitoring temperature while emulating a power IC, the TMP12 can provide a warning of cooling
system failure.
The TMP12 generates an internal voltage that is linearly proportional to Celsius (Centigrade) temperature, nominally
15 mV/°C. The linearized output is compared with voltages
from an external resistive divider connected to the TMP12’s
2.5 V precision reference. The divider sets up one or two reference voltages, as required by the user, providing one or two
temperature setpoints. Comparator outputs are open-collector
transistors able to sink over 20 mA. There is an on-board hysteresis generator provided to speed up the temperature-setpoint
output transitions, this also reduces erratic output transitions in
noisy environments. Hysteresis is programmed by the external
resistor chain and is determined by the total current drawn from
the 2.5 V reference. The TMP12 airflow sensor also incorporates a precision, low temperature coefficient 100 Ω heater
resistor that may be connected directly to an external 5 V supply. When the heater is activated it raises the die temperature in

the DIP package approximately 20°C above ambient (in still
air). The purpose of the heater in the TMP12 is to emulate a
power IC, such as a regulator or Pentium CPU which has a high
internal dissipation.
When subjected to a fast airflow, the package and die temperatures of the power device and the TMP12 (if located in the
same airstream) will be reduced by an amount proportional to
the rate of airflow. The internal temperature rise of the TMP12
may be reduced by placing a resistor in series with the heater, or
reducing the heater voltage.
The TMP12 is intended for single 5 V supply operation, but will
operate on a 12 V supply. The heater is designed to operate from
5 V only. Specified temperature range is from 240°C to 1125°C,
operation extends to 1150°C at 5 V with reduced accuracy.
The TMP12 is available in 8-pin plastic DIP and SO packages.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the TMP12 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

ORDERING GUIDE
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The TMP12 incorporates a heating element, temperature sensor, and two user-selectable setpoint comparators on a single
substrate. By generating a known amount of heat, and using the
setpoint comparators to monitor the resulting temperature rise,
the TMP12 can indirectly monitor the performance of a
system’s cooling fan.
The TMP12 temperature sensor section consists of a bandgap
voltage reference which provides both a constant 2.5 V output
and a voltage which is proportional to absolute temperature
(VPTAT). The VPTAT has a precise temperature coefficient of
5 mV/K and is 1.49 V (nominal) at 125°C. The comparators
compare VPTAT with the externally set temperature trip points
and generate an open-collector output signal when one of their
respective thresholds has been exceeded.
The heat source for the TMP12 is an on-chip 100 Ω low
tempco thin-film resistor. When connected to a 5 V source, this
resistor dissipates:

= 0.25 W ,=
which generates a temperature rise of about 32°C in still air for
the SO packaged device. With an airflow of 450 feet per minute
(FPM), the temperature rise is about 22°C. By selecting a temperature setpoint between these two values, the TMP12 can provide
a logic-level indication of problems in the cooling system.
A proprietary, low tempco thin-film resistor process, in conjunction with production laser trimming, enables the TMP12 to
provide a temperature accuracy of 63°C (typ) over the rated
temperature range. The open-collector outputs are capable of
sinking 20 mA, allowing the TMP12 to drive small control relays directly. Operating from a single 15 V supply, the quiescent
current is only 600 µA (max), without the heater resistor current.
