Device function and key spec
The MAX6691MUB is a thermistor-to-digital converter from Analog Devices, translating a thermistor's resistance change into a digital output for temperature measurement chains. It sits in the Analog & Data Acquisition category, meaning the part is designed for signal-conditioning front-ends where a thermistor is the sensing element.
Lifecycle and compliance
RoHS non-compliant per the manufacturer's declaration, so it does not meet the EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive. This matters for BOMs that require RoHS conformance; a waiver or exemption may be needed.
