Working Principle

Description

The TMP102 is a digital temperature sensor that uses the I2C bus to communicate temperature readings. Unlike some sensors that use an analog voltage, the TMP102 provides temperature data directly in a digital format, making it easy to interface with microcontrollers like Arduino.

Dos And Donts

Donts

  • Avoid Exceeding Voltage Limits: Do not supply the sensor with a voltage higher than 3.6V or lower than 1.4V.,
  • Do Not Omit External Components: Do not disregard the need for external components if required by your specific setup, despite the built-in pull-up resistors.,
  • Prevent Physical Damage: Handle the sensor carefully to avoid physical damage due to its small size and delicate nature.

Dos

  • Use With Compatible Voltage: Ensure the supply voltage is within the 1.4V to 3.6V range.,
  • Check I2c Address: Verify the I2C address is set correctly; default is 0x48. Use the address jumper to select between four possible addresses if multiple sensors are used on the same bus.,
  • Utilize Pull-Up Resistors: Make use of the built-in 4.7k pull-up resistors for I2C communication.
Limits

Resolution

  • Description: The sensor provides a temperature resolution of 0.0625ºC.

Temperature Accuracy

  • Description: The sensor has a typical temperature accuracy of ±0.5ºC.

Voltage Range

  • Description: The sensor operates within a voltage range of 1.4V to 3.6V.
How To Connect

Using I2c

  • Description: Connect the sensor to an Arduino or similar microcontroller using the I2C interface. Utilize the Molex Pico Blade connectors for easy plug-and-play, or connect directly to the breadboard via the broken-out 0.1"-spaced pins.
