Dual Trip SOT Temperature Switches
General Description
The MAX6505–MAX6508 temperature switches have dual logic outputs that assert when the die temperature crosses their trip thresholds. Trip thresholds are factory programmed to convenient temperatures in 5°C increments. The MAX6505/MAX6506 have an ALARM output that asserts when the temperature is above the factory-programmed thresholds (available from -40°C to +125°C). They also have a WARN output that asserts when the temperature is several degrees below the ALARM threshold. The difference between the ALARM and WARN thresholds (∆TAW) is pin selectable to +5°C, +10°C, +20°C, or +30°C. The MAX6505’s logic outputs are open drain, while the MAX6506’s logic outputs are push-pull.
