Texas Instruments TMP6EVM User Manual

The TMP6EVM is a prototype evaluation module (EVM) designed to evaluate the silicon-based TMP6131
thermistor. The TMP6xxx is a family of positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistors, which the
resistance increases with temperature. This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use
of the TMP6EVM evaluation board. Throughout this document, the terms evaluation board, evaluation
module, and EVM are synonymous with the TMP6EVM.
NOTE: The EVM's SPDT power switch (component S1) is located next to the
LED. Use the S1 switch to change between the USB and battery power modes. The switch
position closest to the micro USB receptacle is the USB power mode and the switch position
closest to the corner is the battery power mode. Refer to
NOTE: Important disclaimer: In the standalone demo mode (without GUI), the system is calibrated to
TMP116 on power reset to remove any initial temperature offset between the TMP6 and
TMP116. In the data logging mode with the GUI, no calibration is applied.
