Working Principles

The MAX667CSA+T is a thermocouple-to-digital converter that accurately measures temperature using a thermocouple sensor. It utilizes the Seebeck effect, where a temperature difference between two dissimilar metals generates a voltage. The MAX667CSA+T amplifies and digitizes this voltage, providing a precise digital representation of the temperature.

To compensate for the ambient temperature at the cold junction, the MAX667CSA+T incorporates a built-in cold-junction compensation circuit. This ensures accurate temperature measurements even in varying environmental conditions.
