Working Principles

The MAX667ESA utilizes a thermocouple to measure temperature. The thermocouple generates a voltage proportional to the temperature difference between its two junctions. This voltage is amplified and linearized by the integrated circuit, which then converts it into a digital format using an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The digital temperature data is transmitted through the SPI interface for further processing.
