MAX1617 Datasheet (Maxim) - Remote/Local Temperature Sensor

MAX1617, Remote/Local Temperature Sensor

The MAX1617 (patents pending) 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 th
