Key Featrues

Dual-Channel Temperature Measurement: The MAX6657/MAX6658/MAX6659 sensors can measure both local and remote temperatures simultaneously, enhancing versatility in monitoring multiple temperature zones. This feature is particularly useful in applications like servers and workstations, where both internal and external temperature monitoring is critical for system stability and performance.
High Accuracy (±1°C): With a maximum accuracy of ±1°C in the range of 60°C to 100°C for remote measurements, these sensors ensure reliable and precise temperature monitoring. This high accuracy is essential for maintaining optimal operating conditions in sensitive environments like data centers and industrial systems.
Programmable Under/Overtemperature Alarms: The sensors allow users to set custom temperature thresholds for under and overtemperature conditions, triggering alarms when limits are exceeded. This feature enhances system safety by enabling proactive responses to potential overheating or cooling failures.
SMBus/I²C-Compatible Interface: The 2-wire serial interface (SMBus/I²C) simplifies integration with microcontrollers and other digital systems, reducing design complexity and improving communication efficiency. This makes the sensors ideal for compact and embedded applications.
Programmable Conversion Rate (0.0625Hz to 16Hz): Users can adjust the conversion rate to balance power consumption and response time, making these sensors adaptable to various use cases. Lower rates save power in less critical applications, while higher rates ensure rapid response in dynamic environments.
