General Description
The MAX6629–MAX6632 are local digital temperature
sensors with an SPI™-compatible serial interface. The
temperature is converted to a 12-bit + sign word with a
resolution of 0.0625°C/LSB. An extended temperature
range provides useful readings up to +150°C.
These sensors are 3-wire serial interface SPI compatible, allowing the MAX6629–MAX6632 to be readily connected to a variety of microcontrollers (µCs). The
MAX6629–MAX6632 are read-only devices, simplifying
their use in systems where only temperature data is
required.
All four digital temperature sensors require very little
supply current, making them ideal for portable systems.
The MAX6631/MAX6632 perform a temperature-to-digital conversion once every 8s and require minimal average supply current, 32µA (typ). The MAX6629/
MAX6630 perform a conversion once every 0.5s and
require only 200µA (typ) supply current. Any of these
temperature sensors can perform conversions more
often—up to approximately four conversions per second by reading the conversion results more often.

Detailed Description
The MAX6629–MAX6632 are local digital temperature
sensors with a serial bus. The MAX6629–MAX6632 are
typically interfaced to a µC in temperature sensing and
control applications. The MAX6629–MAX6632 convert
temperature to a 12-bit + sign word with a 0.0625°C
LSB. The data is communicated through a simple serial
interface with a CS (chip select) line, SO (data) line,
and SCK (clock) line. This interface can be directly
connected to, and is fully compatible with, SPI interfaces. This interface can also be connected to virtually
any processor, which has at least three general-purpose input/output (GPIO) lines available to implement
software “bit banging.”
The high resolution of the MAX6629–MAX6632 makes
them especially useful in thermal control loops, HVAC
systems, or in any system where quick anticipation of
temperature trends is useful. The MAX6629–MAX6632
can produce temperature data in excess of +150°C,
although they are specified for a maximum operating
temperature of +150°C. This extended temperature
range makes it especially useful in automotive underhood applications. The low power consumption is also
ideal in battery-operated and portable applications.
The MAX6631/MAX6632 are optimized for minimum
power consumption with their 8s conversions. The
MAX6629/MAX6630 provide faster conversions, 0.5s, at
the expense of power consumption. The low quiescent
supply current enables the device to be powered from
a logic line or the output of a gate where the high level
exceeds 3V, as shown in Figure 1.While the
MAX6629–MAX6632 are not specifically equipped with
a software shutdown mode, the hardware shutdown
can easily be implemented by setting the gate output to
low. Pulling CS low without a clock also puts the device
in idle mode. Take care to ensure that the logic output
is not noisy, as excessive noise on V
CC
can affect tem-
perature measurement accuracy.
ADC Conversion Sequence
The MAX6629–MAX6632 continuously convert temperature to digital data. Setting CS low stops any conversion in progress, places the device in idle mode, and
makes data available for reading. Setting CS high starts
a new conversion. CS must remain high for at least 0.3s
to allow for the conversion to be completed. Figure 2
shows the timing relationship between conversion time
and conversion rate.
SPI Digital Interface
The MAX6629–MAX6632 are compatible with SPI serial-interface standards (Figure 3) and are designed to
be read-only devices. CS’s rising edge always starts a
new conversion and resets the interface. CS must stay
high for a minimum of 300ms to allow the conversion to

finish. CS’s falling edge stops any conversion in
progress, and data is latched into the shift register.
Then the data clocks out at SO on SCK’s falling edge
with the sign bit (D15) first, followed by the MSB. Data
is sent in one 16-bit word, and CS must remain low until
all 16 bits are transferred. If CS goes high in the middle
of a transmission, it is necessary to wait the conversion
time (less than 300ms) before attempting a new read.
The serial data is composed of 12 + 1 data bits
(D15–D3) and 3 trailing bits (D2–D0). D2 is always low,
serving as the confirmation bit that the device has been
communicated with. The last 2 bits, D0 and D1, are
undefined and are always in high-impedance mode
(Table 1). The power-up state for SO is high impedance. Figure 3 shows the detailed serial timing specifications for the SPI port. The temperature data format is
in two's complement format (Table 2).
Power Shutdown Mode
The MAX6629–MAX6632 do not have a built-in power
software shutdown mode. However, a power shutdown
mode is easily implemented utilizing an unused logic
gate. A typical CMOS or TTL logic output has enough
drive capability to serve as the power source if its output voltage level exceeds 3V, as shown in Figure 1.
Drive the logic output low to provide a hardware shutdown mode.
Idle Mode
The MAX6629–MAX6632 can be put into idle mode by
pulling CS low. Data can be clocked out when the
device is in idle mode.
Power-On Reset (POR)
The POR supply voltage of the MAX6629–MAX6632 is
typically 1.6V. Below this supply voltage, the interface
is inactive and the data register is set to the POR state,
0°C.
When power is first applied and VCCrises above 1.6V
(typ), the device starts to convert, although temperature
reading is not recommended at VCClevels below 3.0V.

Applications Information
Thermal Considerations
The key to accurate temperature monitoring is good
thermal contact between the MAX6629–MAX6632 package and the object being monitored. In some applications, the 6-pin SOT23 package is small enough to fit
underneath a socketed µP, allowing the device to monitor the µP’s temperature directly. Accurate temperature
monitoring depends on the thermal resistance between
the object being monitored and the MAX6629–MAX6632
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 component on the
circuit board, it should be mounted as close as possible
to that component and should share supply and ground
traces (if they are not noisy) with that component where
possible. This maximizes the heat transfer from the component to the sensor.
The MAX6629/MAX6630 supply current is typically
200µA, and the MAX6631/MAX6632 supply current is
typically 32µA. When used to drive high-impedance
loads, the device dissipates negligible power.
Therefore, the die temperature is essentially the same
as the package temperature.
The rise in die temperature due to self-heating is given
by the following formula:
ΔT
J
= P
DISSIPATION
x θ
JA
where P
DISSIPATION
is the power dissipated by the
MAX6629–MAX6632, and θJAis the package’s thermal
resistance.
The typical thermal resistance is +110°C/W for the
6-pin SOT23 package. To limit the effects of self-heating, minimize the output currents. For example, if the
MAX6629–MAX6632 sink 1mA, the output voltage is
guaranteed to be less than 0.4V. Therefore, an additional 0.4mW of power is dissipated within the IC. This
corresponds to a 0.044°C shift in the die temperature in
the 6-pin SOT23.
