2°C Accurate Remote/Local Temperature Sensor with SMBus Serial Interface
General Description
The MAX6690† is a precise digital thermometer that reports the temperature of both a remote P-N junction and its own die. The remote junction can be a diode-connected transistor- typically a low-cost, easily mounted 2N3904 NPN type or 2N3906 PNP type- that replaces conventional thermistors or thermocouples. Remote accuracy is ±2°C for multiple transistor manufacturers, with no calibration needed. The remote junction can also be a mon-collector PNP, such as a substrate PNP of a microprocessor (µP). The 2-wire serial interface accepts standard System Management Bus (SMBusTM),...
