Description

Electronic Component Model P085A2003 is an IC chip categorized under temperature switches. These fully integrated temperature switches are the MAX6501-MAX6504. They work by asserting a logic signal when their die temperature crosses a factory-programmed threshold. The factory-programmed thresholds range from -45°C to +125°C in 10°C increments, making it a great solution to improve temperature monitoring and control.

Specifications and features

The MAX6501–MAX6504 temperature switches come with the following features:

• ±0.5°C (typical) threshold accuracy over the full temperature range
• No external components required
• Low cost
• 30µA supply current
• Open-drain output (MAX6501/MAX6503) push-pull output (MAX6502/MAX6504)
• Factory-programmed thresholds from -45°C to +125°C in 10°C increments
• Pin-selectable 2°C or 10°C hysteresis
• SOT23-5 package

Application Scenarios

The MAX6501–MAX6504 temperature switches can be used in a variety of scenarios such as :

• µP temperature monitoring in high-speed computers
• temperature control
• temperature alarms
• fan control

Comparison

• Low-cost temperature switch
• No external components required
• A wide range of programmable temperatures in increments of 10°C
• Pin-selectable hysteresis
• SOT23-5 package
