Maxim MAX6612 High-Slope Low-Power Analog Temperature Sensor Datasheet
The MAX6612 is a precision analog output temperature sensor packaged in a 5‑pin SC70. It provides a linear voltage output proportional to temperature with a high sensitivity of 19.53 mV/°C and a 400 mV offset at 0 °C, enabling direct interfacing to ADCs.
Key features include operation over a wide temperature range (‑55 °C to +150 °C), low supply current (35 µA no‑load), ability to drive high‑capacitive loads (≥1000 pF), and a small footprint. Typical applications are base stations, industrial equipment, home appliances, and other systems requiring accurate temperature monitoring.
