MAX6581
±1°C Accurate 8-Channel Temperature Sensor
General Description
The MAX6581 precision multichannel temperature sensor monitors its own temperature and the temperatures of up to seven external diode-connected transistors. All temperature channels have programmable alert and overtemperature thresholds. When the measured temperature of a channel crosses the respective threshold, a status bit is set in one of the status registers. Two open-drain alarm outputs (ALERT and OVERT) assert corresponding to these bits in the status register(s).
Resistance cancellation is available for all channels and compensates for high series resistance in circuit-board traces and thermal diodes.
