Low-Cost, Remote SOT Temperature Switches
General Description
The MAX6511/MAX6512/MAX6513 are fully integrated,
remote temperature switches that use an external P-N
junction (typically a diode-connected transistor) as the
sensing element to measure the remote temperature.
These devices assert a logic signal when the tempera-
ture crosses a factory-programmed threshold. Available
trip thresholds are from +45°C to +125°C in 10°C incre-
ments. Accuracy is within ±3°C (T
A
= -5°C to +55°C) or
±5°C (T
A
= -40°C to +85°C). Hysteresis is pin selec-
table to 5°C or 10°C.
The MAX6511 has an active-low CMOS output and the
MAX6513 has an active-high CMOS output. The
MAX6512 has an open-drain output. The output is
asserted when the temperature exceeds the threshold
value. The active-low open-drain output is intended to
interface with a microprocessor (µP) reset or interrupt
input. The active-high CMOS output can directly drive a
power FET to control a cooling fan.
The MAX6511/MAX6512/MAX6513 operate from a
+3.0V to +5.5V supply and typically consume 400µA of
supply current. They are available in the small 6-pin
SOT23. The MAX6513 is also available in a 6-pin lead-
free TDFN package.

Detailed Description
The MAX6511/MAX6512/MAX6513 fully integrated tem-
perature switches incorporate a precision bandgap ref-
erence, a conversion block, a current source, and a
comparator (Figure 1). These devices use an external
P-N junction as the temperature-sensing element. They
steer bias currents through the external diode, measure
the forward voltages, and compute the temperature
using a precision chopper stabilized amplifier.
Resistance values of less than 100Ω in series with the
external sense junction will result in trip-point errors
<1°C. The MAX6511/MAX6512/MAX6513 provide noise
immunity by integration and oversampling of the diode
voltage, but good design practice includes routing the
DXP and DXN lines away from noise sources, such as
high-speed digital lines, switching regulators, induc-
tors, and transformers. The DXP and DXN traces
should be paired together and surrounded by ground
plane whenever possible.
In applications where the temperature changes rapidly,
the measured temperature will be approximately equal
to the average value of the temperature during the
measurement period.
The MAX6512 has an active-low, open-drain output struc-
ture that can only sink current. The MAX6511 has an active-
low CMOS output structure, and the MAX6513 has an
active-high CMOS output.
The MAX6511/MAX6512/MAX6513 are available with
preset temperature thresholds from +45°C to +125°C in
10°C increments.

Note:

Figure 2. Temperature Trip Threshold Hysteresis
Hysteresis Input
The HYST pin is a CMOS-compatible input that selects
hysteresis at either a high level (10°C for HYST = V
DD
)
or a low level (5°C for HYST = GND). Hysteresis pre-
vents the output from chattering when the temperature
is near the trip point. The HYST pin must not float.
The output asserts when the temperature exceeds the
trip point and deasserts when the temperature falls
back below the trip point minus the hysteresis. For
example, if the trip point is 105°C, the output will assert
at 105°C and will not deassert until temperature falls
below 105°C minus the hysteresis (e.g., 95°C if 10°C
hysteresis is chosen) (Figure 2).
cate the manufacturer has good process controls and
that the devices have consistent V
be
characteristics.
The MAX6511/MAX6512/MAX6513 can also measure
the die temperature of CPUs and other integrated cir-
cuits having on-board temperature-sensing diodes.
Use the monitor’s output to reset the µP, assert an inter-
rupt, activate a cooling fan, or trigger an external alarm.
Noise Filtering Capacitors
A quality ceramic capacitor must be connected across
the DXP/DXN inputs to maintain temperature threshold
accuracy by filtering out noise. The capacitor should be
located physically close to the DXP/DXN pins and
should typically have a value of 2200pF. Larger capaci-
tor values can cause temperature measurement errors.
A 50% variation from the recommended capacitor
value can cause up to ±1°C error.
