Experience the ideal temperature in your surroundings with TMP126 and STM32L496AG

Thermo 29 Click is based on the TMP126, a digital output temperature sensor from Texas Instruments with increased reliability and improved accuracy specifications optimal for thermal management and protection applications. The TMP126 consists of an internal thermal BJT (factory calibrated on a NIST traceable setup), a high-resolution analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a data processing circuit, and serial interface logic functions in one package. The voltage is digitized and converted to a 14-bit temperature result in degrees Celsius, giving a fully calibrated digital output with outstanding accuracy of up to ±0.25°C and temperature resolution of 0.03125°C per LSB, typical over a temperature range of 20°C to 30°C. This Click

board™ communicates with MCU using a 3-wire SPI-compatible interface with a maximum frequency of 10MHz for data transfer and configuration of the TMP126. Using the Mode bit in the configuration register, the TMP126 can operate in various conversion modes, including continuous, one-shot, and shutdown modes. These modes provide flexibility to use the board in the most power-efficient way necessary for the intended application. The TMP126 also includes advanced features for increased reliability in harsh environments. These include an optional CRC checksum for data integrity, programmable alert limits, a temperature slew rate warning, and an enhanced operating temperature range. An alarm (interrupt) signal, marked as ALR and routed to

the interrupt pin of the mikroBUS™ socket, is alarming when a specific temperature event occurs that depends on the value of the temperature reading relative to programmable limits. In addition to the ALR pin, this function can be visually identified by a red LED marked as ALERT. This Click board™ can operate with either 3.3V or 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. This way, both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs can use the communication lines properly. Also, this Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.
