Measuring Temperature with the MAX1358 Data Acquisition System

Abstract: This application note explains how to use the internal and external temperature sensors on the MAX1358 data acquisition system. The temperature circuits for the MAX1358/MAX1359/MAX1360 are identical, therefore any reference to the MAX1358 also applies to the MAX1359 and MAX1360. A step-by-step approach guides the user through the setup, measurement, and calculation of the temperature.

Measuring Temperature with the MAX1358 Data Acquisition System

Abstract: This application note explains how to use the internal and external temperature sensors on the
MAX1358 data acquisition system. The temperature circuits for the MAX1358/MAX1359/MAX1360 are identical,
therefore any reference to the MAX1358 also applies to the MAX1359 and MAX1360. A step-by-step approach
guides the user through the setup, measurement, and calculation of the temperature.


Introduction

The MAX1358 data acquisition system can measure temperature using an internal or external transistor PN
junction. Figure 1 s
