2-Channel Temperature Monitor with Dual
Automatic PWM Fan-Speed Controller
General Description
The MAX6640 monitors its own temperature and one
external diode-connected transistor or the temperatures
of two external diode-connected transistors, typically
available in CPUs, FPGAs, or GPUs. The 2-wire serial
interface accepts standard System Management Bus
(SMBus
TM
) write byte, read byte, send byte, and
receive byte commands to read the temperature data
and program the alarm thresholds. Temperature data
can be read at any time over the SMBus, and three pro-
grammable alarm outputs can be used to generate
interrupts, throttle signals, or overtemperature shut-
down signals.
The temperature data is also used by the internal dual
PWM fan-speed controller to adjust the speed of up to
two cooling fans, thereby minimizing noise when the
system is running cool, but providing maximum cooling
when power dissipation increases. Speed control is
accomplished by tachometer feedback from the fan, so
that the speed of the fan is controlled, not just the PWM
duty cycle. Accuracy of speed measurement is ±4%.
The MAX6640 is available in 16-pin QSOP and 16-pin
TQFN 5mm x 5mm packages. It operates from 3.0V to
3.6V and consumes just 500μA of supply current.

FUNCTION
Open-Drain Output to Power Transistor Driving Fan. Connect to the gate of a MOSFET or base of a
bipolar transistor. PWM_ requires a pullup resistor. The pullup resistor can be connected to a
supply voltage as high as 13.5V, regardless of the MAX6640’s supply voltage.
Tachometer Inputs. Connect to the tachometer output of the fan. TACH_ requires a pullup resistor.
The pullup resistor can be connected to a supply voltage as high as 13.5V, regardless of the
MAX6640’s supply voltage.
Active-Low, Open-Drain, Fan-Failure Output. Open circuit when V
CC
= 0.
Active-Low, Open-Drain Thermal Alarm Output. Typically used for clock throttling. Open circuit
when V
CC
= 0.
Active-Low, Open-Drain Overtemperature Output. Typically used for system shutdown or clock
throttling. Can be pulled up to 5.5V regardless of V
CC
. Open circuit when V
CC
= 0.
Power-Supply Input. 3.3V nominal. Bypass V
CC
to GND with a 0.1μF capacitor.
Ground. Connect to a clean ground reference.
Combined Current Source and A/D Positive Input for Remote Diode. Connect to anode of remote-
diode-connected temperature-sensing transistor. Do not leave unconnected; connect to DXN if no
remote diode is used. Place a 2200pF capacitor between DXP_ and DXN for noise filtering.
Combined Current Sink and A/D Negative Input for Remote Diode. Connect cathode of the remote-
diode-connected transistor to DXN.
Internally Connected. Connect to V
CC
.
Active-Low, Open-Drain SMBus Alert Output
SMBus Serial-Clock Input. Can be pulled up to 5.5V regardless of V
CC
. Open circuit when V
CC

SMBus Serial-Data Input/Output, Open Drain. Can be pulled up to 5.5V regardless of V
CC
. Open
circuit when V
CC
= 0.
Exposed Pad (TQFN package only). Internally connected to GND. Connect to a large ground
plane to maximize thermal performance. Not intended as an electrical connection point.
