Maxim’s MAX30205 temperature sensor accurately measures temperature and provides an overtemperature alarm/interrupt/shutdown output. The MAX30205 converts the temperature measurements to digital form using a high-resolution, sigma-delta, analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Accuracy meets clinical thermometry specification of the ASTM E1112 when soldered on the final PCB. Communication is through an I²C-compatible, 2-wire serial interface.

The MAX30205 evaluation kit (MAX30205EVSYS#) allows designers a convenient way to evaluate the MAX30205 human body temperature sensor. The sensor uses a high-resolution, sigma-delta, analog-to-digital converter to accurately measure temperature and convert it to digital form. The kit includes a USB-to-I²C controller and GUI program to simplify evaluation.
