Thermistor-to-digital converter for remote temperature sensing
The MAX6682MUA+T from Analog Devices (formerly Maxim Integrated) is a thermistor-to-digital converter that reads an external NTC thermistor and outputs a digital logic-level signal proportional to temperature. It draws 29 µA supply current, making it suitable for battery-powered or loop-powered instrumentation where every microamp counts. The operating range spans -55°C to 125°C, covering industrial process control, environmental monitoring, and cold-chain telemetry applications. Housed in an 8-uMAX/uSOP package, it mounts on the board with standard surface-mount reflow profiles.
Temperature range and deployment context
Rated for -55°C to 125°C, this part fits outdoor telecom cabinets, engine-bay monitoring, and cold-chain data loggers. The wide range also covers military/aerospace ground-support equipment where the ambient can swing from arctic storage to desert operation. The 8-uMAX/uSOP package is small enough for compact sensor modules but still hand-solderable for prototype rework.
Lifecycle and sourcing
Listed as Active and ROHS3 compliant.
