Low-Voltage, 1.8kHz PWM Output Temperature
Sensors
General Description
Features
The MAX6676/MAX6677 are high-accuracy, low-power
temperature sensors with a single-wire output. The
MAX6676/MAX6677 convert the ambient temperature
into a ratiometric PWM output with temperature informa-
tion contained in the duty cycle of the output square
wave. The MAX6676 has an open-drain output and the
MAX6677 has a push-pull output.

The MAX6676/MAX6677 are specified for operation with
power-supply voltages from 1.8V to 3.6V, or from 3.6V to
5.5V (MAX6676 only). The typical unloaded supply cur-
rent is 80µA. All 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 1.8kHz (±±0ꢀ) at ꢁ±5ꢂ°.
The output format is decoded as follows:
