Low-Cost, 2.7V to 5.5V Temperature Switches
in a SOT23
General Description
The MAX6514/MAX6515 low-cost, fully integrated temper-
ature switches assert a logic signal when their die tem-
perature crosses a factory-programmed threshold.
Operating from a 2.7V to 5.5V supply, these devices fea-
ture a fixed voltage reference, an analog temperature
sensor, and a comparator. They are available with facto-
ry-trimmed temperature trip thresholds from -45°C to
+15°C and +35°C to +115°C in 10°C increments, and are
accurate to ±1°C (typ). These devices require no external
components and typically consume 22µA of supply cur-
rent. Hysteresis is pin selectable at 2°C or 10°C.
The MAX6514/MAX6515 are offered with hot-tempera-
ture thresholds (+35°C to +115°C), asserting when the
temperature is above the threshold or with cold-temper-
ature thresholds (-45°C to +15°C), asserting when the
temperature is below the threshold. The MAX6514/
MAX6515 can be used over a -35°C to +125°C range
with a supply voltage of 2.7V to 5.5V. For applications
sensing temperature down to -45°C, a supply voltage
above 4.5V is required.
The MAX6514 has an active-high, push-pull output. The
MAX6515 has an active-low, open-drain output. These
devices are available in a space-saving 5-pin SOT23
package and operate over the -55°C to +125°C tem-
perature range.

Detailed Description
The MAX6514/MAX6515 fully integrated temperature
switches incorporate a fixed reference, an analog tem-
perature sensor, and a comparator. Pin-selectable 2°C
or 10°C hysteresis keeps the digital output from oscil-
lating when the die temperature approaches the
threshold temperature. The MAX6514 has an active-
high, push-pull output structure that can sink or source
current. The MAX6515 has an active-low, open-drain
output structure that can only sink current. The internal
power-on reset circuit guarantees the logic output is at
its +25°C state for at least 50µs.
Logic Temperature Indicators
Overtemperature Indicator (Hot Thresholds)
TOVER and
TOVER
designations apply to thresholds
above T
A
= +25°C (+35°C, +45°C, +55°C, +65°C,
+75°C, +85°C, +95°C, +105°C, and +115°C). All “hot”
thresholds are positive temperatures.
The overtemperature indicator output is open drain
active low (TOVER) or push-pull active high (TOVER).
TOVER
goes low when the die temperature exceeds
the factory-programmed temperature threshold.
TOVER
should be pulled up to a voltage no greater than 5.5V
with a 100kΩ pullup resistor. TOVER is a push-pull
active-high CMOS output that goes high when the die
temperature exceeds the factory-programmed temper-
ature threshold.
Undertemperature Indicator (Cold Thresholds)
TUNDER and
TUNDER
designations apply to thresh-
olds below T
A
= +25°C (+15°C, +5°C, -5°C, -15°C,
-25°C, -35°C, -45°C). The undertemperature indicator
output is open-drain, active low (TUNDER) or push-pull,
active high (TUNDER).
TUNDER
goes low when the die
temperature goes below the factory-programmed tem-
perature threshold.
TUNDER
should be pulled up to a
voltage no greater than 5.5V with a 100kΩ pullup resis-
tor. TUNDER is a push-pull active-high CMOS output
that goes high when the die temperature falls below the
factory-programmed temperature threshold.
Hysteresis Input
The HYST input selects the devices’ temperature hys-
teresis and prevents the output from oscillating when the
temperature approaches the trip point. Connect HYST to
V
CC
for 2°C hysteresis or to GND for 10°C hysteresis.

Applications Information
Temperature-Window Alarm
The MAX6515 logic output asserts when the die tem-
perature is outside the factory-programmed range.
Combining the outputs of two devices creates an
over/undertemperature alarm. Two MAX6515s are used
to form two complementary pairs, containing one cold
trip-point output and one hot trip-point output. The
assertion of either output alerts the system to an out-of-
range temperature (Figure 1).
The thermal overrange signal can be used to assert a
thermal shutdown, power-up, recalibration, or other
temperature-dependent function.
The typical thermal resistance is +140°C/W for the 5-
pin SOT23 package. To limit the effects of self-heating,
minimize the output current. For example, if the
MAX6514/MAX6515 sink 1mA, the open-drain output
voltage is guaranteed to be less than 0.3V. Therefore,
an additional 0.3mW of power is dissipated within the
IC. This corresponds to a 0.042°C shift in the die tem-
perature in the 5-pin SOT23 package.

Low-Cost, Fail-Safe Temperature
In high-performance/high-reliability applications, multi-
ple temperature monitoring is important. The high-level
integration and low cost of the MAX6514/MAX6515
facilitate the use of multiple temperature monitors to
increase system reliability. The Figure 2 application
uses two MAX6514s with different hot-temperature
thresholds to ensure that fault conditions that can over-
heat the monitored device cause no permanent dam-
age. The first temperature monitor activates the fan
when the die temperature exceeds +45°C. The second
MAX6514 triggers a system shutdown if the die temper-
ature reaches +75°C, preventing damage from a wide
variety of destructive fault conditions, including
latchups, short circuits, and cooling-system failures.

Thermal Considerations
The MAX6514/MAX6515 supply current is typically
22µA. When used to drive high-impedance loads, the
devices dissipate negligible power and self-heating
effects are minimized.
Accurate temperature monitoring depends on the ther-
mal resistance between the device being monitored
and the MAX6514/MAX6515 die. Heat flows in and out
of plastic packages, primarily through the leads. Pin 2
of the 5-pin SOT23 package provides the lowest ther-
mal resistance to the die. Short, wide copper traces
between the MAX6514/MAX6515 and the objects
whose temperature is being monitored ensure heat
transfers occur quickly and reliably. The rise in die tem-
perature due to self-heating is given by the following
formula:

where P
