It resolves temperature to 10-bit resolution and communicates over an I²C/SMBus interface, making it a straightforward add to any digital bus. The local sensing range covers -55°C to 125°C; the remote channel extends down to -64°C, useful for tracking a cold-junction reference or a distant thermal diode on a hot component. Supply voltage spans 3V to 5.5V, so it runs off a 3.3V or 5V rail without a separate regulator. Accuracy is rated at ±2.5°C typical and ±5°C maximum over the full temperature range — adequate for board-level thermal management, fan control, and system protection where you need to know a temperature is drifting, not measure it to a tenth of a degree. ## Built-in features that save firmware cycles The MAX6690MEE+ includes a One-Shot mode for on-demand conversions without continuous polling, a programmable temperature limit with an open-drain output switch that can assert an interrupt or trigger a fan, and a Standby Mode that drops power consumption when the system is idle. These features reduce the host microcontroller's overhead — the sensor can flag an overtemperature event without being polled. ## Package and footprint Housed in a 16-pin SSOP (0.154\" body width, 3.90 mm) and also specified as the 16-QSOP supplier device package. Surface-mount, fine-pitch — standard for a small mixed-signal IC. The tube shipping medium is fine for prototype builds; production volumes typically come on tape and reel. ## Lifecycle and sourcing reality This part carries an Active lifecycle status with ROHS3 compliance. For a BOM line that needs a digital temperature sensor with a remote channel, this is a straightforward fit with no supply-chain clock ticking.","metaTitle":"MAX6690MEE+ Digital Temperature Sensor, -55°C to 125°C","metaDescription":"MAX6690MEE+ digital local/remote temperature sensor from Analog Devices. 10-bit resolution, I²C/SMBus output, ±2.5°C accuracy.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Discrete Semiconductors"],"specifications":{"Package":"Tube","Features":"One-Shot, Output Switch, Programmable Limit, Standby Mode","Resolution":"10 b","Output Type":"I²C/SMBus","Sensor Type":"Digital, Local/Remote","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"16-SSOP (0.154\\\", 3.90mm Width)","Test Condition":"60°C ~ 100°C (-55°C ~ 120°C)","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Voltage - Supply":"3V ~ 5.5V","Operating Temperature":"-55°C ~ 125°C","Supplier Device Package":"16-QSOP","Accuracy - Highest (Lowest)":"±2.5°C (±5°C)","Sensing Temperature - Local":"-55°C ~ 125°C","Sensing Temperature - Remote":"-64°C ~ 125°C"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$7.26","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$7.26000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5,"price":"$6.40200","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$5.65500","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$4.58800","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$4.05460","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$3.94790","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$3.30770","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$3.09430","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/83635a3c8a47dc3eeead7b3990cc0e08.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Does MAX6690MEE+ work with a 5V supply?","answer":"Yes, the supply range is 3V to 5.5V, so a 5V rail is well within specification.
