Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these
or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.

All voltages are referenced to GND. Currents entering the IC are specified positive, and currents exiting the IC are negative.
Guaranteed by design; not production tested.
Not including cold-junction temperature error or thermocouple nonlinearity.
Specification is 100% tested at T
A
= +25°C. Specification limits over temperature (T
A
= T
MIN
to T
MAX
) are guaranteed by
design and characterization; not production tested.
Note 6:
Because the thermocouple temperature conversions begin at V
POR
, depending on V
CC
slew rates, the first thermocouple
temperature conversion may not produce an accurate result. Therefore, the t
CONV_PU
specification is required after V
CC
is
greater than V
CCMIN
to guarantee a valid thermocouple temperature conversion result.
