+ * @defgroup drivers_tmp006 TMP006 Infrared Thermopile Sensor
+ * @ingroup drivers
+ * @brief Driver for the Texas Instruments TMP006 sensor.
+ * The sensor measures the temperature of an object
+ * without the need of direct contact with the object.
+ * After initialization and set active the sensor
+ * will make measurements at periodic times.
+ * The conversion duration depends on oversample ratio.
+ * The oversample ratio can be determined
+ * by sensor initialization.
+ * The target object temperature can be calculated as follows:
+ * Temperature of sensor's die (2 times right shifting and devide-by 32):
+ * \f{eqnarray*}{
+ * T_{\mathrm{DIE}} &=& \frac{T_{\mathrm{RAW}}}{128}
+ * \f}
+ * Difference Temperature in Kelvin:
+ * \f{eqnarray*}{
+ * T_{\mathrm{DIFF}} &=& T_{\mathrm{DIE}} - T_{\mathrm{REF}}
+ * \f}
+ * Sensitivity of the thermopile sensor,
+ * with \f$S_{\mathrm{0}}\f$ as calibration factor:
+ * \f{eqnarray*}{
+ * S &=& S_{\mathrm{0}} \cdot ( 1 + a_1 \cdot T_{\mathrm{DIFF}}
+ * + a_2 \cdot T_{\mathrm{DIFF}}^2 ) \\
+ * \f}
+ * Sensor's voltage (the LSB size is \f$ 156.25\,\mathrm{nV} \f$):
+ * \f{eqnarray*}{
+ * V_{\mathrm{OBJ}} &=& V_{\mathrm{RAW}} \cdot 156.25\,\mathrm{nV}
+ * \f}
+ * Offset voltage:
+ * \f{eqnarray*}{
+ * V_{OS} &=& b_0 + b_1 \cdot T_{\mathrm{DIFF}}
+ * + b_2 \cdot T_{\mathrm{DIFF}}^2 \\
+ * \f}
+ * Seebeck coefficients of the thermopile:
+ * \f{eqnarray*}{
+ * f(V_{\mathrm{OBJ}}) &=& (V_{\mathrm{OBJ}} - V_{O\mathrm{S}})
+ * + c_2 \cdot (V_{\mathrm{OBJ}} - V_{\mathrm{OS}})^2 \\
+ * \f}
+ * Temperature of the target object:
+ * \f{eqnarray*}{
+ * T_{\mathrm{OBJ}} &=& \sqrt[4]{T_{\mathrm{DIE}}^4
+ * + \frac{f(V_{\mathrm{OBJ}})}{S}} \\
+ * \f}
+ * Constants:
+ * \f{eqnarray*}{
+ * a_{\mathrm{1}} &=& 1.75 \cdot 10^{-3} \\
+ * a_{\mathrm{2}} &=& -1.678 \cdot 10^{-5} \\
+ * T_{\mathrm{REF}} &=& 298.15\,\mathrm{K} \\
+ * b_{\mathrm{0}} &=& -2.94 \cdot 10^{-5} \\
+ * b_{\mathrm{1}} &=& -5.7 \cdot 10^{-7} \\
+ * b_{\mathrm{2}} &=& 4.63 \cdot 10^{-9} \\
+ * c_{\mathrm{2}} &=& 13.4
+ * \f}
+ *
+ * The calculation and constants are wrapped from TI TMP006 User's Guide SBOU107.
