MAXIM sensor

Medical Health Sensor IC

Medical health sensor ICs use current or light to detect vital signs of the human body. These biosensors condition signals and transmit them to microcontrollers for storage, computation, or display on health monitoring devices. Maxim's medical health sensor solution is an ideal choice for portable medical devices, wearable medical devices, and fitness applications. These sensors have the advantage of low power consumption and can effectively extend battery life. These highly integrated sensor ICs have analog front-end (AFE), ADC, and ESD/EMI protection circuits, with the following key features that can effectively reduce the number of chips used in the entire solution. Biological potential, optical, and temperature sensors suitable for wearable, fitness, and medical applications.

Temperature sensor IC

A temperature sensor detects the temperature of an object or the temperature of its environment, and converts the reading into an electrical signal. Common types of temperature sensors include thermocouples, resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), thermistors, local temperature sensors, and remote thermal diode temperature sensor ICs. The electrical properties of detection components such as thermocouples, RTDs, and thermistors have strong predictability with temperature changes. The local temperature sensor IC utilizes the physical characteristics of the transistor on the chip as the detection element. Clinical grade temperature sensors must meet the accuracy requirements of ASTM E1112 standard for clinical thermometer technical specifications. The remote temperature diode temperature sensor uses a transistor connected to an external PN junction as the detection element, including all signal conditioning circuits required to measure temperature using one or more external transistors. Maxim's wide range of silicon temperature sensor ICs support various applications such as medicine, industry, data centers, and mobile. In addition to temperature sensors, Maxim also provides fan controllers and temperature monitor ICs. Maxim's fan controller IC monitors and controls the fan speed in refrigeration applications. Maxim's temperature monitor IC measures temperature and provides power switch output, suitable for temperature based monitoring and control applications.
