General Description
The MAX6613 is a low-power analog precision analog
output temperature sensor in a tiny 5-pin SC70 package. The MAX6613 operates over a supply voltage
range of 1.8V to 5.5V, with a typical current consumption of only 7.5µA. It is particularly well suited for
portable applications where minimizing battery cost
and maximizing useful battery life are crucial.
The MAX6613 provides an analog voltage output proportional to temperature. Accuracy is ±1.3°C (max)
over a range of TA= 0°C to +50°C and ±2.0°C (max)
from TA= -20°C to +80°C. Self-heating effects are negligible due to the low current consumption of the part.
Unlike many analog temperature sensors, the MAX6613
is stable with any capacitive load from 0pF to 1000pF,
providing broad flexibility in board-level design.
The operating temperature range varies with the voltage supply. The MAX6613 can be used over a range of
-55°C to +130°C with a supply voltage of 2.5V to 5.5V.
For applications with a supply voltage of 1.8V, the
MAX6613 can be used over a temperature range of
+25°C to +130°C.

MAX6613
Detailed Description
The MAX6613 analog output temperature sensor’s output voltage is a discrete function of its die temperature.
The maximum supply current is 13µA, and the supply
voltage range is from 2.5V to 5.5V for the -55°C to
+130°C temperature range, or 1.8V to 5.5V for the
+25°C to +130°C temperature range.
Transfer Function
The temperature-to-voltage transfer function is approximately linear and can be described by the quadratic
equation:
V
OUT
= -0.0000022
✕
T
2
- 0.01105 ✕T + 1.8455V
In many cases, a linear approximation can be applied:
V
OUT
= -0.01123 ✕T + 1.8455V
where T is the die temperature of the MAX6613 in °C.
Therefore:
T = (V
OUT
- 1.8455) / 0.01123V
Compatibility with Other Temperature
Sensors
The MAX6613 can be used to replace temperature sensors using other output algorithms. Table 1 provides
information for a linear and quadratic output equation.

Applications Information
Sensing Circuit Board and
Ambient Temperature
A temperature sensor IC like the MAX6613 that senses
its own die temperature must be mounted on, or close
to, the object whose temperature it is intended to measure. Because there is a good thermal path between
the package’s metal lead and the IC die, the MAX6613
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 optimizes the
thermal connection 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 lead, so the
MAX6613, like all temperature sensors in plastic packages, is less sensitive to the temperature of the surrounding air than to the temperature of its leads. It 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 change in die temperature introduced by the part
due to self-heating is negligible.
