GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TMP12 is a silicon-based airflow and temperature sensor designed to be placed in the same airstream as heat generating components that require cooling. Fan cooling may be required continuously, or during peak power demands, e.g. for a power supply, and if the cooling systems fails, system reliability and/or
safety may be impaired. By monitoring temperature while emulating a power IC, the TMP12 can provide a warning of cooling system failure.
