A buck-boost power management IC helps extend battery life in smart phones, digital still cameras and other single-cell lithium-ion powered multimedia devices.
The high accuracy of the TMP275 enables more efficient thermal and power management, while low power consumption extends battery life and minimises self-heating.
The TMP275 can be configured for a wide variety of systems including battery-powered devices, HVAC equipment, notebook computers, cellphones and basestations.
The TMP275 features +/-0.5C (maximum) accuracy from +10 to +85C and +/-0.75C (maximum) accuracy from 0 to +100C.
The two-wire serial interface is I2C/SMBus-compatible.
Additional features include 50uA power consumption, programmable resolution (9 to 12bit), 0.1uA shutdown current mode, excellent stability over temperature and a wide temperature range of -40 to +125C.
The device allows up to eight different addresses for flexibility in interface bus designs.
The TMP275 is available now from TI and its authorised distributors in a small MSOP-8 package.
It is priced at US $1.25 each in 1000-piece quantities (suggested resale pricing).
