PRODUCTION DATA.
A built-in thermal monitoring diode junction is made available on the TDIODE+ and TDIODE– pins. This diode facilitates temperature monitoring and characterization of the device in higher ambient temperature environments. While the on-chip diode is not highly characterized, the diode can be used effectively by performing a baseline measurement at a known ambient or board temperature with the device in power-down (PD) mode. Recommended monitoring ICs include the LM95233 device and similar remote-diode temperature monitoring products from Texas Instruments.
