Detailed Description
Accurate temperature monitoring requires a good
thermal contact between the MAX6676/MAX6677
and the object being monitored. A precise tempera-
ture measurement depends on the thermal resistance
between the object being monitored and the MAX6676/
MAX6677 die. Heat flows in and out of plastic packages
primarily through the leads. If the sensor is intended to
measure the temperature of a heat-generating compo-
nent on the circuit board, mount the device as close as
possible to that component and share the ground traces
(if they are not too noisy) with the component. This maxi-
mizes the heat transfer from the component to the sensor.
The MAX6676/MAX6677 are high-accuracy, low-current
(80µA, typ) temperature sensors ideal for interfacing with
µCs or µPs. The MAX6676/MAX6677 convert the ambient
temperature into a ratiometric PWM output at a nominal
frequency of 1.8kHz (±20%) at +25°C.
The time periods, t1 (low) and t2 (high) (Figure 1), are
easily read by a µP’s timer/counter port. To calculate the
temperature, use the following expression:
Temperature (°C) = 398.15 x (t
1
/
t
2
) - 273.15
The µC or µP measures the output of the MAX6676/
MAX6677 by counting t
1
and t
2
and computing the tem-
perature based on their ratio. The resolution of the count
is a function of the processor clock frequency and the
resolution of the counter. Always use the same clock for
t
1
and t
2
counters so that the temperature is strictly based
on a ratio of the two times, thus eliminating errors due to
different clocks’ frequencies.
The MAX6677 (Figure 2a) has a push-pull output with
full CMOS output swings. The ability to source and sink
current allows the MAX6677 to drive capacitive loads up
to 100pF with less than 1°C error.
The MAX6676 (Figure 2b) has an open-drain output. The
output capacitance should be minimized in MAX6676
applications because the sourcing current is set by the
pullup resistor. If the output capacitance becomes too
large, lengthy rise and fall times distort the pulse width,
resulting in inaccurate measurements.
Power Supply from µP Port Pin
The low quiescent current of the MAX6676/MAX6677
enables them to be powered from a logic line, which
meets the requirements for supply voltage range. This
provides a simple shutdown function to totally eliminate
quiescent current by taking the logic line low. The logic
line must be able to withstand the 0.1µ power-supply
