General Description

The MAX6668/MAX6670 remote-junction thermal switches with an internal power transistor drive a cooling fan rated for supply voltages up to +12V and 250mA.

These devices measure the temperature of an external P-N junction (typically a diode-connected transistor) and turn on the fan power switch when the remote temperature rises above a factory-programmed threshold.

Self-contained and requiring no software development, the MAX6668/MAX6670 are simple “drop-in” fan-control solutions for a variety of systems.

Overview

19-2133; Rev 2; 11/02 Remote Temperature Switches with Integrated Fan.

Key Features

  • an open-drain WARN output that goes active when the remote temperature exceeds the factory-programmed fan activation threshold by +15°C. The MAX6670 features an open-drain OT output that goes active when the remote temperature exceeds the factory-programmed threshold by +30°C. The MAX6668/MAX6670 provide a fan-control input,.
