Industry’s First Low-Voltage Digital Thermometers/Thermostats with Versatile SPI/3-Wire Interface

February 10, 2012

Sunnyvale, CA—February 9, 2012—Maxim Integrated Products (NASDAQ: MXIM) announces the MAX31722/MAX31723 digital thermometers and thermostats. The devices provide local temperature readings over a user-selectable SPI or 3-wire interface. While most competitive solutions require at least a 2.7V supply, these temperature sensors can operate from a voltage supply as low as 1.7V. This low supply voltage, along with a 2.4µA low-power standby mode, makes these products ideal for low-power or battery-operated systems.

The MAX31722/MAX31723 offer the designer an array of options to help ease design. An SPI or 3-wire interface … Read More → "Industry’s First Low-Voltage Digital Thermometers/Thermostats with Versatile SPI/3-Wire Interface"
