Key Features

• Dual-Channel Monitoring: Equipped with two temperature sensors, the MAX6695AUB can simultaneously monitor the temperature of both its own die (local sensor) and a remote PN junction, typically a diode-connected transistor on a CPU, FPGA, or ASIC (remote sensor).
• High Accuracy: Offering a high degree of accuracy, the local sensor has an error of ±3°C, while the remote sensor boasts an impressive ±1°C error margin within the specified temperature range.
• Programmable Overtemperature Alarms: The device features programmable overtemperature alarm outputs for both channels, providing immediate notification of abnormal temperature conditions.
• Flexible Interface: Communication with the MAX6695AUB is facilitated through a 2-wire serial interface that is compatible with SMBus protocols, making it easy to integrate into a variety of systems.
• Wide Temperature Range: The sensor operates over a broad temperature range, with the local sensor capable of measuring from 0°C to +125°C and the remote sensor from -40°C to +125°C.
• Low Power Consumption: Designed with power efficiency in mind, the MAX6695AUB is suitable for battery-powered applications due to its low operating current.
• Compact Package: Housed in a small, 10-pin µMAX package, the MAX6695AUB minimizes the footprint on the PCB and is suitable for space-constrained applications.
