The MAX7500–MAX7504 temperature sensors accurately measure temperature and provide an overtemperature alarm/interrupt/shutdown output. These devices convert the temperature measurements to digital form using a high-resolution, sigma-delta, analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Communication is through an I²C-compatible 2-wire serial interface. The MAX7500/MAX7501/MAX7502 integrate a timeout feature that offers protection against I²C bus lockups. The MAX7503/MAX7504 do not include the timeout feature.
The 2-wire 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 open-drain overtemperature shutdown output.
The MAX7500 features three address select lines, while the MAX7501–MAX7504 feature two address select lines and an active-low RESET input. The MAX7500/MAX7501/MAX7502s' 3.0V to 5.5V supply voltage range, low 250µA supply current, and a lockup-protected I²C-compatible interface make them ideal for a wide range of applications, including personal computers (PCs), electronic test equipment, and office electronics.
The MAX7500–MAX7504 are available in 8-pin µMAX® and SO packages and operate over the -55°C to +125°C temperature range.

Description
The MAX7500 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount PCB that evaluates the MAX7500 digital temperature sensor. The MAX7500 accurately measures temperature and provides an overtemperature alarm/interrupt/shutdown output.
The EV kit is self-powered from the on-board USB interface and selects between the eight available I²C slave addresses of the MAX7500 IC. The MAX7500 EV kit can also evaluate the MAX7501–MAX7504 ICs. Request free IC samples from the factory when ordering the MAX7500 EV kit.
The MAX7500 EV kit provides an on-board I²C/SMBus™ interface and is connected to the computer through the universal serial bus (USB) port. The EV kit includes Windows® 2000/XP and Windows Vista®-compatible software that provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for control of the MAX7500's programmable features.
Features
- Self-Powered from USB source
- Optional 3V to 5.5V Single Power Supply
