The MAX31856 performs cold-junction compensation and digitizes the signal from any type of thermocouple. The output data is formatted in degrees Celsius. This converter resolves temperatures to 0.0078125°C, allows readings as high as +1800°C and as low as -210°C (depending on thermocouple type), and exhibits thermocouple voltage measurement accuracy of ±0.15%. The thermocouple inputs are protected against overvoltage conditions up to ±45V.A lookup table (LUT) stores linearity correction data for several types of thermocouples (K, J, N, R, S, T, E, and B). Line frequency filtering of 50Hz and 60Hz is included, as is thermocouple fault detection. A SPI-compatible interface allows selection of thermocouple type and setup of the conversion and fault detection processes.ApplicationsIndustrial EquipmentIndustrial Ovens, Furnaces, and Environmental ChambersTemperature Controllers

The MAX3186 is a complete DCE RS-232 serial port designed to meet the stringent ESD requirements of the European community. All transmitter outputs and receiver inputs are protected to ±15kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Air-Gap Discharge, ±8kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Contact Discharge, and ±15kV using the Human Body Model.The MAX3186 has five RS-232 transmitters, three RS-232 receivers, and no charge pump, optimizing it for operation in modem applications. It is guaranteed to run at data rates up to 230kbps, providing compatibility with popular software for communicating with personal computers. Power-supply current is less than 300µA for IDDand ISS, and less than 1mA for ICC.The MAX3186 is available in an SO package and in the tiny SSOP that further reduces board space.ApplicationsEquipment Meeting IEC 1000-4-2InstrumentsISDN ModemsModems

The MAX31875 is a ±1°C-accurate local temperature sensor with I2C/SMBus interface. The combination of tinypackage and excellent temperature measurement accuracymakes this product ideal for a variety of equipment.The I2C/SMBus-compatible serial interface accepts standard write byte, read byte, send byte, and receive byte commands to read the temperature data and configure the behavior of the sensor. Bus timeout resets the interface if the clock is low for more than 30ms (nominal). PEC helps to avoid communication errors when used with a master that supports this feature.The MAX31875 is available in a 4-bump, wafer-level package (WLP) and operates over the -50°C to +150°C temperature range.ApplicationsBattery-Powered EquipmentData Communications EquipmentHandheld ElectronicsIndustrial EquipmentServers

The MAX31888 is a 1-Wire high precision, low power digital temperature sensor with ±0.25ºC accuracy from -20ºC to +105ºC for precision temperature monitoring. The MAX31888 operates at 68μA operating current during measurement and has 16-bit resolution (0.005ºC).The sensor communicates with a microcontroller over a 1-Wire®bus that requires only one data line (and a ground reference) for communication. In addition, the sensor can derive power directly from the data line through "parasite power", eliminating the need for an external power supply. Each MAX31888 has its own unique 64-bit registration number that is factory programmed into the chip. This unique 64-bit registration number acts as the node address in the case of a multi-drop 1-Wire®network. In multi-drop networks, optional GPIO pins can be used as address bits to identify each device's physical location.The MAX31888 is available in a 6-pin µDFN package. The power supply voltage range is from 1.7V to 3.6V for external power supplies. The operating temperature range is from -40°C to +125°C.ApplicationsPrecision Temperature MonitoringRTD ReplacementInternet of Things (IoT) SensorsCold Chain

The MAX31889 operates from a 1.7V to 3.6V supply voltage, and is a low-power, high-accuracy digital temperature sensor with ±0.25°C accuracy from -20°C to +105°C and ± 0.65°C accuracy from -40°C to +125°C. The MAX31889 has 16-bit resolution (0.005°C).The device uses a standard I2C serial interface to communicate with a host controller. Two GPIO pins are available. GPIO1 can be configured to trigger a temperature converison, while GPIO0 can be configured to generate an interrupt for selectable status bits.The MAX31889 includes a 32-word FIFO for the temperature data and also includes high and low threshold digital temperature alarms. The device is available in a 2mm x 2mm x 0.8mm, 6-pin, µDFN package.ApplicationsInternet of Things (IoT) SensorsPrecision Temperature MonitoringRTD Replacement
