The recommended PCB layout for the MAX6653AEE+T involves placing the device near the thermal source, using a solid ground plane, and keeping the thermal sensing pins (THERM and THERM2) as short as possible. Additionally, it's recommended to use a 4-layer PCB with a thermal relief pattern to minimize thermal gradients.
The MAX6653AEE+T does not require calibration. It has an internal calibration circuit that sets the temperature sensor's offset and gain. However, it's recommended to perform a system-level calibration to account for any thermal gradients or PCB layout effects.
The maximum cable length for the remote temperature sensing pins (THERM and THERM2) is not specified in the datasheet, but it's generally recommended to keep the cable length as short as possible (less than 10 inches) to minimize noise and thermal gradients. If a longer cable is required, it's recommended to use a shielded cable and to add a low-pass filter to the signal lines.
The MAX6653AEE+T is specified to operate up to 125°C, but it can measure temperatures above 125°C with reduced accuracy. For temperatures above 125°C, it's recommended to use an external thermistor or thermocouple with a higher temperature range.
The MAX6653AEE+T has a thermal hysteresis of ±1°C, which means that the temperature reading may vary by ±1°C depending on the temperature ramp rate. To handle this, it's recommended to use a slow temperature ramp rate (less than 1°C/min) and to average multiple temperature readings to minimize the effect of thermal hysteresis.
