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. Housed in an 8-uMAX/uSOP package, it mounts on the board with standard surface-mount reflow profiles.
The 8-uMAX/uSOP package is small enough for compact sensor modules but still hand-solderable for prototype rework.
