19-2304; Rev 0; 1/02 Four-Channel Thermistor Temperature-to-PulseWidth Converter General Description The MAX6691 four-channel thermistor temperature-topulse-width converter measures the temperatures of up to four thermistors and converts them to a series of output pulses whose widths are related to the thermistors’ temperatures. Each of the four thermistors and an external fixed resistor (REXT) form a voltage-divider that is driven by the MAX6691’s internal voltage reference (VREF). VREF and the voltage across REXT are measured and converted to a pulse. The MAX6691 has a single open-drain I/O pin that can be readily connected to a variety of microcontrollers. The microcontroller initiates...
