Texas Instruments provides a recommended PCB layout in the datasheet, but it's also recommended to follow the guidelines in the 'Thermal Camera Module Layout and Assembly Guidelines' application note (SLUAUH7) for optimal thermal performance.
Calibration of the TCM129C13ADW involves adjusting the gain and offset of the thermal sensor. Texas Instruments provides a calibration procedure in the datasheet, and also offers a calibration software tool (TCM-Cal) that can be used to simplify the process.
The maximum operating temperature of the TCM129C13ADW is 125°C, but it's recommended to operate the device within the specified temperature range of -20°C to 85°C for optimal performance and reliability.
The TCM129C13ADW is not designed to operate in high-humidity environments and may be susceptible to moisture-related failures. If operation in high humidity is required, it's recommended to use a conformal coating or other environmental protection measures to prevent moisture ingress.
The TCM129C13ADW can be interfaced with a microcontroller using the I2C or SPI interface. Texas Instruments provides example code and interface guidelines in the datasheet and application notes to help with the integration process.
