Low-Cost, Remote Temperature Switch
General Description
The MAX6513 is a fully integrated, remote temperature
switch that uses an external P-N junction (typically a
diode-connected transistor) as the sensing element to
measure the remote temperature. The device asserts a
logic signal when the temperature crosses a factory-
programmed threshold. Available trip thresholds are
from +45°C to +125°C in 10°C increments. 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 selectable to 5°C or 10°C.
The MAX6513 has an active-high CMOS output. The
output is asserted when the temperature exceeds the
threshold value. The active-high CMOS output can
directly drive a power FET to control a cooling fan.
The MAX6513 operates from a +3.0V to +5.5V supply
and typically consumes 400µA of supply current. It is
available in a 6-pin lead-free TDFN package.

Detailed Description
The MAX6513 fully integrated temperature switch incor-
porates a precision bandgap reference, a conversion
block, a current source, and a comparator (Figure 1).
The device uses an external P-N junction as the tem-
perature-sensing element. It steers bias currents
through the external diode, measures the forward volt-
ages, and computes 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 MAX6513 provides noise immunity by inte-
gration 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, inductors, 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 MAX6513 has an active-high CMOS output, and is
available with preset temperature thresholds from
+45°C to +125°C in 10°C increments.

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 be left
unconnected.
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).

Applications Information
Remote-Diode Selection
To ensure best accuracy, use a good-quality diode-
connected transistor. Suggested devices are listed in
Table 1. Large power transistors are not recommend-
ed. Tight specifications for forward current gain indi-
cate the manufacturer has good process controls and
that the devices have consistent V
be
characteristics.
The MAX6513 can also measure the die temperature of
CPUs and other integrated circuits having on-board
temperature-sensing diodes. Use the monitor’s output
to reset the µP, assert an interrupt, 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.
