General Description

The MAX6576/MAX6577 are low-cost, low-current tem­perature sensors with a single-wire output. The MAX6576
converts the ambient temperature into a square wave
with a period proportional to absolute temperature (°K).
The MAX6577 converts the ambient temperature into a
square wave with a frequency proportional to absolute
temperature. The MAX6576 offers accuracy of ±3°C at
+25°C, ±4.5°C at +85°C, and ±5°C at +125°C. The
MAX6577 offers accuracy of ±3°C at +25°C, ±3.5°C at
+85°C, and ±4.5°C at +125°C.

Both devices feature a single-wire output that minimizes
the number of pins necessary to interface with a micro­processor. The period/frequency range of the output
square wave can be selected by hard-wiring the two
time-select pins (TS0, TS1) to either VDDor GND. The
MAX6576/MAX6577 are available in space-saving 6-pin
SOT23 packages.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS

(VDD= +2.7V to +5.5V, TA= -40°C to +125°C, unless otherwise noted. Typical values are specified at TA= +25°C and VDD= +5V,
unless otherwise noted.)

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 1: See the Temperature Accuracy histograms in the

Typical Operating Characteristics

.

Note 2: The output duty cycle is guaranteed to be 50% by an internal flip-flop.
