General Description
The MAX6666/MAX6667 are high-accuracy, low-cost,
low-power temperature sensors with a single-wire
output. The MAX6666/MAX6667 convert the ambient
temperature into a ratiometric PWM output with temperature information contained in the duty cycle of the output square wave. The MAX6666 has a push-pull output
and the MAX6667 has an open-drain output.
The MAX6666/MAX6667 operate at supply voltages
from +3V to +5.5V. The typical unloaded supply current
at 5.0V is 200µA. Both devices feature a single-wire
output that minimizes the number of pins necessary to
interface with a microprocessor (µP). The output is a
square wave with a nominal frequency of 35Hz (±20%)
at +25°C. The output format is decoded as follows:
Temperature (°C) = 235 - (400 x t
1
) / t
2
Where t1is fixed with a typical value of 10ms and t2is
modulated by the temperature (Figure 1). The MAX6666/
MAX6667 operate from -40°C to +125°C and are available
in space-saving SOT23 packages.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
(VCC= +3.0V to +5.5V, TA= -40°C to +125°C, unless otherwise noted. Typical values are at VCC= +3.3V, TA= +25°C.)
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.
