Product Summary

The MAX1617AMEE is a precise digital thermometer that reports the temperature of both a remote sensor and its own package. The remote sensor is a diode-connected transistor—typically a low-cost, easily mounted 2N3904 NPN type—that replaces conventional thermistors or thermocouples. Remote accuracy of the MAX1617AMEE is ±3℃ for multiple transistor manufacturers, with no calibration needed. The remote channel can also measure the die temperature of other ICs, such as microprocessors, that contain an on-chip, diode-connected transistor. The applications of the MAX1617AMEE include Desktop and Notebook, Central Office, Computers, Telecom Equipment, Smart Battery Packs, Test and Measurement, LAN Servers, Multichip Modules and Industrial Controls.
