TMP04 Temperature Sensor with Arduino Not going HIGH

I have a TMP04 temperature sensor (3 pin package). It outputs a square wave at approximately 35Hz and the duty cycle can be converted into a temperature reading (see datasheet).

It has an operating voltage of 4.5V-7V and I have it hooked up to the 5V supply of an Arduino Uno. Using a multimeter between the power pins confirms that the voltage is ~4.96V, which should be suitable.

I was using the pulseIn() function to read the time the pin was high, but the function would fail and always time out.

To check the output from the sensor I connected it to the Arduinos analog (ADC) input and took readings from the pin every millisecond.

There was a clear HIGH/LOW pattern, BUT there was an issue. The LOW signal was reading approximately ~15 (fine), but the HIGH signal was reading ~145. This is a very low voltage, as the ADC produces a number between 0-1024.

Hence, a reading of ~145 corresponds to a HIGH voltage of ~0.7V, which is of course not expected and wrong. The datasheet suggests that the HIGH voltage should never fall below \$V_{DD}-0.4\$.

I thought that it may have been a dud sensor, but after trying another one I get the same results.

I'm just prototyping on a breadboard, and have no decoupling capacitors as I was just testing them out.

My circuit is literally:

• Sensor V+ to Arduino 5V

• Sensor ground the Arduino ground

• Sensor output in to Arduino (tried pin 5 and A1)

I have no other resistors or components in my circuit. Am I doing anything wrong? Have I misunderstood how I am supposed to use the sensor?

Here is a sample output from the ADC, with one reading every millisecond:
