General Description
The MAX6627/MAX6628 precise digital temperature
sensors report the temperature of a remote sensor. The
remote sensor is a diode-connected transistor, typically
a low-cost, easily mounted 2N3904 NPN type that
replaces conventional thermistors or thermocouples.
The MAX6627/MAX6628 can also measure the die temperature of other ICs, such as microprocessors (µPs) or
microcontrollers (µCs) that contain an on-chip, diodeconnected transistor.
Remote accuracy is ±1°C when the temperature of the
remote diode is between 0°C and +125°C and the temperature of the MAX6627/MAX6628 is +30°C. The temperature is converted to a 12-bit + sign word with
0.0625°C resolution. The architecture of the device is
capable of interpreting data as high as +145°C from
the remote sensor. The MAX6627/MAX6628 temperature should never exceed +125°C.
These sensors are 3-wire serial interface SPI™ compatible, allowing the MAX6627/MAX6628 to be readily connected to a variety of µCs. The MAX6627/MAX6628 are
read-only devices, simplifying their use in systems
where only temperature data is required.
Two conversion rates are available, one that continuously converts data every 0.5s (MAX6627), and one
that converts data every 8s (MAX6628). The slower version provides minimal power consumption under all
operating conditions (30µA, typ). Either device can be
read at any time and provide the data from the last conversion.
Both devices operate with supply voltages between
+3.0V and +5.5V, are specified between -55°C and
+125°C, and come in the space-saving 8-pin SOT23
package.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
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.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
(3.0V ≤ VCC≤ 5.5V, -55°C ≤ TA≤ +125°C, unless otherwise noted. Typical values are at TA= +25°C, VCC= +3.3V, unless otherwise
noted.)
Note 1: This device is constructed using a unique set of packaging techniques that impose a limit on the thermal profile the device
can be exposed to during board-level solder attach and rework. This limit permits only the use of the solder profiles
recommended in the industry-standard specification, JEDEC 020A, paragraph 7.6, Table 3 for IR/VPR and Convection
Reflow. Preheating is required. Hand or wave soldering is not allowed.
