• Manufacturer Part Number: MAX7501
• Description: Digital Temperature Sensors and Thermal Watchdog with Bus Lockup Protection
• Manufacturer: Maxim

The MAX7500/MAX7501/MAX7502 feature an integrat-
ed lowpass filter on both the SCL and the SDA digital
lines to mitigate the effects of bus noise. Although this
filtering makes communication robust in noisy environ-
ments, good layout practices are always recommend-
ed. Minimize noise coupling by keeping digital traces
away from switching power supplies. Ensure that digital
lines containing high-speed data communications
cross at right angles to the SDA and SCL lines.
Excessive noise coupling into the SDA and SCL lines
on the MAX7500/MAX7501/MAX7502—specifically
noise with amplitude greater than 400mV

Care must be taken to ensure proper termination within
a system with long PC board traces or multiple parts on
the bus. Resistance can be added in series with the
SDA and SCL lines to further help filter noise and ring-

which is sufficient filtering in most cases.
