General Description
The MAX6629–MAX6632 are local digital temperature
sensors with an SPI-compatible serial interface. The
temperature is converted to a 12-bit + sign word with a
resolution of 0.0625°C/LSB. An extended temperature
range provides useful readings up to +150°C.
These sensors are 3-wire serial interface SPI compatible,
allowing the MAX6629–MAX6632 to be readily connected
to a variety of microcontrollers (μCs). The MAX6629–
MAX6632 are read-only devices, simplifying their use in
systems where only temperature data is required.
All four digital temperature sensors require very little
supply current, making them ideal for portable systems.
The MAX6631/MAX6632 perform a temperature-to-digital
conversion once every 8s and require minimal average
supply current, 32μA (typ). The MAX6629/MAX6630
perform a conversion once every 0.5s and require only
200μA (typ) supply current. Any of these temperature
sensors can perform conversions more often—up to
approximately four conversions per second by reading the
conversion results more often.

Typical Operating Characteristics
Pin Description
Detailed Description
The MAX6629–MAX6632 are local digital temperature
sensors with a serial bus. The MAX6629–MAX6632 are
typically interfaced to a μC in temperature sensing and
control applications. The MAX6629–MAX6632 convert
temperature to a 12-bit + sign word with a 0.0625°C LSB.
The data is communicated through a simple serial inter-
face with a CS (chip select) line, SO (data) line, and SCK
(clock) line. This interface can be directly connected to,
and is fully compatible with, SPI interfaces. This interface
can also be connected to virtually any processor, which
has at least three general-purpose input/output (GPIO)
lines available to implement software “bit banging.”
The high resolution of the MAX6629–MAX6632 makes
them especially useful in thermal control loops, HVAC
systems, or in any system where quick anticipation of
temperature trends is useful. The MAX6629–MAX6632
can produce temperature data in excess of +150°C,
although they are specified for a maximum operating
temperature of +150°C. The low power consumption is
also ideal in battery-operated and portable applications.
The MAX6631/MAX6632 are optimized for minimum
power consumption with their 8s conversions. The
MAX6629/MAX6630 provide faster conversions, 0.5s, at
the expense of power consumption. The low quiescent
supply current enables the device to be powered from
a logic line or the output of a gate where the high level
exceeds 3V, as shown in Figure 1. While the MAX6629–
MAX6632 are not specifically equipped with a software
shutdown mode, the hardware shutdown can easily be
implemented by setting the gate output to low. Pulling
CS low without a clock also puts the device in idle mode.
Take care to ensure that the logic output is not noisy, as
excessive noise on VCC can affect temperature measure-
ment accuracy.
ADC Conversion Sequence
The MAX6629–MAX6632 continuously convert tempera-
ture to digital data. Setting CS low stops any conversion
in progress, places the device in idle mode, and makes
data available for reading. Setting CS high starts a new
conversion. CS must remain high for at least 0.3s to allow
for the conversion to be completed. Figure 2 shows the
timing relationship between conversion time and conver-
sion rate.
SPI Digital Interface
The MAX6629–MAX6632 are compatible with SPI serial-
interface standards (Figure 3) and are designed to be
read-only devices. CS’s rising edge always starts a new
conversion and resets the interface. CS must stay high
for a minimum of 300ms to allow the conversion to finish.
CS’s falling edge stops any conversion in progress, and
data is latched into the shift register. Then the data clocks

out at SO on SCK’s falling edge with the sign bit (D15)
first, followed by the MSB. Data is sent in one 16-bit word,
and CS must remain low until all 16 bits are transferred. If
CS goes high in the middle of a transmission, it is neces-
sary to wait the conversion time (less than 300ms) before
attempting a new read. The serial data is composed of 12
+ 1 data bits (D15–D3) and 3 trailing bits (D2–D0). D2 is
always low, serving as the confirmation bit that the device
has been communicated with. The last 2 bits, D0 and D1,
are undefined and are always in high-impedance mode
(Table 1). The power-up state for SO is high impedance.
Figure 3 shows the detailed serial timing specifications
for the SPI port. The temperature data format is in two’s
complement format (Table 2).
Power Shutdown Mode
The MAX6629–MAX6632 do not have a built-in power
software shutdown mode. However, a power shutdown
mode is easily implemented utilizing an unused logic
gate. A typical CMOS or TTL logic output has enough
drive capability to serve as the power source if its output
voltage level exceeds 3V, as shown in Figure 1. Drive the
logic output low to provide a hardware shutdown mode.
Idle Mode
The MAX6629–MAX6632 can be put into idle mode by
pulling CS low. Data can be clocked out when the device
is in idle mode.
Power-On Reset (POR)
The POR supply voltage of the MAX6629–MAX6632 is
typically 1.6V. Below this supply voltage, the interface is
inactive and the data register is set to the POR state, 0°C.
When power is first applied and VCC rises above 1.6V
(typ), the device starts to convert, although temperature
reading is not recommended at VCC levels below 3.0V.

Applications Information
Thermal Considerations
The key to accurate temperature monitoring is good ther-
mal contact between the MAX6629–MAX6632 package
and the object being monitored. In some applications, the
6-pin SOT23 package is small enough to fit underneath
a socketed μP, allowing the device to monitor the μP’s
temperature directly. Accurate temperature monitoring
depends on the thermal resistance between the object
being monitored and the MAX6629–MAX6632 die. Heat
flows in and out of plastic packages primarily through
the leads. If the sensor is intended to measure the tem-
perature of a heat-generating component on the circuit
board, it should be mounted as close as possible to that
component and should share supply and ground traces (if
they are not noisy) with that component where possible.
This maximizes the heat transfer from the component to
the sensor.
The MAX6629/MAX6630 supply current is typically
200μA, and the MAX6631/MAX6632 supply current is
typically 32μA. When used to drive high-impedance
loads, the device dissipates negligible power. Therefore,
the die temperature is essentially the same as the pack-
age temperature.
The rise in die temperature due to self-heating is given by
the following formula:
ΔTJ = PDISSIPATION x θJA
where PDISSIPATION is the power dissipated by the
MAX6629–MAX6632, and θJA is the package’s thermal
resistance.
The typical thermal resistance is +110°C/W for the 6-pin
SOT23 package. To limit the effects of self-heating, mini-
mize the output currents. For example, if the MAX6629–
MAX6632 sink 1mA, the output voltage is guaranteed
to be less than 0.4V. Therefore, an additional 0.4mW of
power is dissipated within the IC. This corresponds to a
0.044°C shift in the die temperature in the 6-pin SOT23.
