The MAX6612MXK+T is a high-slope, low power, analogue temperature sensor in 5 pin SC-70 package. The sensitivity of the output voltage to temperature is a high 19.53mV/°C. This sensitivity provides superior noise immunity. The voltage/temperature slope is chosen to provide convenient bit weights when the MAX6612MXK+T drives the input of an ADC with a 2.5V or 5V reference. The MAX6612MXK+T provides an analogue voltage output proportional to temperature. Accuracy is ±1.2°C (max) at +25°C, ±3.0°C (max) from TA = 0°C to +70°C and ±5.5°C (max) from TA = -10°C to +125°C. Useful measurements can be obtained at temperatures as high as +150°C. Self-heating effects are negligible due to the low current consumption of the part. Unlike many analogue temperature sensors, the MAX6612MXK+T is stable with large capacitive loads. Any capacitive load greater than or equal to 1000pF yields stable operation, providing broad flexibility in board-level design.
