General Description
The MAX6607/MAX6608 precision, low-voltage, analog
output temperature sensors are available in 5-pin SC70
and SOT23 packages. The devices have a +1.8V to
+3.6V supply voltage range and 8µA supply current
over the -20°C to +85°C temperature range. Accuracy
is ±0.6°C (typ) from TA= +20°C to +50°C and is
±0.7°C (typ) from TA= 0°C to +70°C.
The MAX6607/MAX6608 output voltage depends on its

Detailed Description
The MAX6607/MAX6608 analog output temperature
sensors’ output voltage is a linear function of its die
temperature. The slope of the output voltage is
10mV/°C, and there is a 500mV offset at 0°C to allow
measurement of negative temperatures. The maximum
supply current is 15µA, and the supply voltage range is
from +1.8V to +3.6V for the -20°C to +85°C temperature range.
Transfer Function
The temperature-to-voltage transfer function has an
approximately linear positive slope and can be
described by the equation:
V
OUT
= 500mV + (T ✕10mV/°C)
where T is the die temperature of the MAX6607/
MAX6608 in °C.
Therefore:
T (°C) = (V
OUT
- 500mV) / 10mV/°C
Applications Information
Sensing Circuit Board and
Ambient Temperatures
Temperature sensor ICs like the MAX6607/MAX6608
that sense their own die temperatures must be mounted on, or close to, the object whose temperature they
are intended to measure. Because there is a good thermal path between the package’s metal leads and the
IC die, the MAX6607/MAX6608 can accurately measure
the temperature of the circuit board to which it is soldered. 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 thermal path between the plastic package and the
die is not as good as the path through the leads, so the
MAX6607/MAX6608, like all temperature sensors in plastic packages, are less sensitive to the temperature of the
surrounding air than they are to the temperature of their
leads. They can be successfully used to sense ambient
temperature if the circuit board is designed to track the
ambient temperature.
As with any IC, the wiring and circuits must be kept insulated and dry to avoid leakage and corrosion, especially if
the part is operated at cold temperatures where condensation can occur.
The error introduced by the part self-heating is negligible.
