Cold-Junction-Compensated K-Thermocouple-
to-Digital Converter (0°C to +128°C)
For a type-K thermocouple, the voltage changes by
41µV/°C, which approximates the thermocouple charac-
teristic with the following linear equation:
V
OUT
= (41µV/°C) 5 (T
R
- T
AMB
)
where:
V
OUT
is the thermocouple output voltage (µV).
T
R
is the temperature of the remote point (°C).
T

FUNCTION
Cold-Junction Compensation
Detailed Description
The function of the thermocouple is to sense a difference
in temperature between two ends. The thermocouple’s
hot junction can be read from 0°C to +127.875°C. The
cold end (ambient temperature of the board on which
the MAX6674 is mounted) can only range from -20°C to
+85°C. While the temperature at the cold end fluctuates,
the MAX6674 continues to accurately sense the tempera-
ture difference at the opposite end.
The MAX6674 senses and corrects for the changes in
the ambient temperature with cold-junction compensa-
tion. The device converts the ambient temperature
reading into a voltage using a temperature-sensing
diode. To make the actual thermocouple temperature
measurement, the MAX6674 measures the voltage from
the thermocouple’s output and from the sensing diode.
The device’s internal circuitry passes the diode’s volt-
age (sensing ambient temperature) and thermocouple
voltage (sensing remote temperature minus ambient
temperature) to the conversion function stored in the
ADC to calculate the thermocouple’s hot-junction tem-
perature.
Optimal performance from the MAX6674 is achieved
when the thermocouple cold junction and the device
are at the same temperature. Avoid placing heat-gener-
ating devices or components near the MAX6674
because this may produce cold-junction-related errors.
The MAX6674 is a sophisticated thermocouple-to-digi-
tal converter with a built-in 10-bit analog-to-digital con-
verter (ADC). The device also contains cold-junction
compensation sensing and correction, a digital con-
troller, an SPI-compatible interface, and associated
control logic.
The MAX6674 is designed to work in conjunction with
an external microcontroller (µC) or other intelligence
in thermostatic, process-control, or monitoring applica-
tions. The µC is typically a power-management or key-
board controller, generating SPI serial commands by
