App note: Long twisted pair reads digital temperature sensor

This digital temperature sensor design uses a twisted cable pair to read the sensor over long distances:

This circuit is a simple and economical interface for remote IC thermal sensors. The temperature sensor (MAX6576), an absolute temperature-to-period converter that integrates the sensor with the necessary signal electronics, connects to the receiver (a MAX9140 comparator) using a twisted-pair cable that carries power to and signals from the sensor.
