1 Introduction
Texas Instruments provides a range of different digital temperature sensors compatible with two-wire, SMBus,
and I2C interfaces. These temperature sensors are included under the TI 75 family of sensors. This application
note guides customers in selecting the appropriate sensor within the 75-family series of TI Temperature sensors
and helps them optimize newer features offered in devices such as TMP1075, TMP110, and TMP112-Q1.
This document provides simplified comparison tables for customers to consider the main differences when
replacing components. These specs were carefully chosen to provide the best side-by-side comparison. This
document provides a high overview comparison but does not reveal all specs. Further investigation of the data
sheets is necessary before making a switch to one of these devices.
To provide additional clarity in hardware and software variations, this article discusses Linux driver compatibility,
conversion time, resolution compatibility, and data encoding compatibility.
2 Hardware Compatibility
Within the 75 family of temperature sensors there are 14 devices to consider. Figure 2-1 shows the size
comparison between the different package options available between the devices.Table 2-1 describes the
corresponding package available for the 75-temperature sensors in Figure 2-1.
This section highlights TI's newer temperature sensors along with tables providing information on the hardware
requirements to consider when switching to the TMP1075, TMP110, or TMP112-Q.
2.1 TMP1075
The TMP1075 sensor provides the most accurate, lowest-power replacement option when comparing the sensor
to older sets of TI 75-family sensors (Table 2-2). TMP1075 comes in four different package options:
• VSSOP (8)
• SOIC (8)
• WSON (8)
• SOT563 (6)
The majority of 75-family devices are pin-to-pin compatible with VSSOP (8) and SOIC (8).
2.2 TMP110
TMP110 sensor provides a considerable cost savings, high accuracy, and low power I2C temperature design
(Table 2-2). TMP110 comes in the X2Son package. TMP110 is not P2P compatible, but dual sourcing is
an option for TMP110. For more information about the dual source option, please refer to Section 4 in this
document.
2.3 TMP112-Q1
When considering automotive-rated 75-family sensors, TMP112-Q1 is advantageous for two-wire, SMBus, I2C-
interface, digital temperature sensor (Table 2-3). This sensor is designed for high accuracy and low power.
TMP112-Q1 is not P2P compatible with most of the 75 family, but TMP112-Q1 is an option for saving on power
consumption. TMP112-Q1 is only available in the SOT563 package.

3 Software Compatibility
The software specs shown in Table 3-1 were chosen based on the following criteria:
• TMP275, TMP175, and TMP75 have programmable ADCs. Users can choose a 9-bit resolution mode up to a
12-bit resolution mode.
• I2C Data Hold Times t(HDDAT) are different between the devices. The t(HDDAT) listed in the table below
refers to the minimum spec during Fast Frequency Mode.
• All 75 devices have temperature and limit registers in the exact same locations with the same format.
• The main changes in registers are Configuration and ID Registers. The Configuration Register holds either 16
or 8 bits of data. The data stored in the Configuration Register is shown in Table 3-1.

Figure 4-3 and Figure 4-4 show a 3D and a 2D layout trace of the top overview of a 4-layer dual source solution.
For simplicity, the displayed boards follow a common four-layer board configuration containing the following
layers: Signal, VDD, GND, and Signal. The alert pin on the TMP110 is traced on the bottom layer of the PCB.
The vias shown in the 3D and 2D views have a diameter of 16 mil and a hole size of 8 mil. A two layer option is
achievable with the aid of the layout trace depicted.
5 Linux Driver
The common Linux driver provides one source of compatibility between the 75 family of devices (Table 5-1). The
Linux driver is not created by TI, but by the general public. The Linux Driver provides the software the MCU
needs to communicate with the sensors over I2C, along with the ability to read and write registers. The Linux
Driver GitHub is found here.

Software compatibility is not an issue when utilizing the Linux driver because all these devices are supported
directly by the same driver. Q variants are software compatible with their corresponding commercial variants.
Currently, TI's new device TMP110 is not listed in the public source code. As shown in Section 3, TMP112 is
software compatible with TMP110. All 75-Family device communication is regulated by the Linux driver.
6 Conversion Time and Resolution Setting Highlights
Texas Instruments is making new technology that improves conversion outcomes. Conversion time describes
the time it takes to make a new temperature measurement. The device resolution and conversion time are
inversely related. In general, the higher the resolution, the more time required for the device to output a new
temperature measurement. This relationship is described with TMP275, TMP175, and TMP75 in Table 6-1.
TMP275, TMP175, and TMP75 have programmable ADCs, where users can choose from a 9-bit resolution
mode to a 12-bit resolution mode. The resolution selection is made by modifying R0 and R1 in the configuration
register. TI's older LM75 devices use technology that requires more time to convert data for 9-bit resolution.
TMP1075 has a 12-bit resolution where the user selects a different conversion time by changing the R0 and R1
bits in the configuration register. TMP1075 sleeps between measurements to save power. TMP1075 provides
the best conversion time results when comparing the devices. Figure 6-1 shows a diagram detailing the wait time
before a new temperature occurs.
