The TMP112AIDRLR is a digital temperature sensor from Texas Instruments in SOT-5-3 (2.0×1.25mm), providing 12-bit (0.0625C) resolution over I2C with +/-0.5C accuracy from -20C to +85C (A-grade). The device uses a bandgap temperature sensor whose output is digitized by a delta-sigma ADC. The conversion time is 29ms per reading in normal mode, or 26us in continuous mode at 8 samples/second. The I2C interface supports 400kHz Fast-mode with two address pins (allowing 4 devices on the same bus). The ALERT pin provides programmable over/under-temperature detection: the user sets T_HIGH and T_LOW thresholds via I2C registers, and the ALERT pin asserts when the temperature exceeds T_HIGH or drops below T_LOW. The alert mode can be configured as comparator (real-time) or interrupt (latched until read). The extended mode provides 13-bit resolution (0.03125C) over -55C to +150C range. The shutdown mode reduces current to 1uA while preserving register settings. The one-shot mode performs a single conversion and returns to shutdown, ideal for battery-powered applications. The -AIDRLR suffix specifies A-grade, SOT-5-3, tape-and-reel. The tiny SOT-5-3 package (2.0×1.25mm) is 60% smaller than SOT-23-5, making it ideal for space-constrained designs. Applications include: battery temperature monitoring, ambient temperature sensing, and thermal protection in portable devices.
