Fan Controller/Driver with FactoryProgrammed Temperature Thresholds
General Description
The MAX6665 is a fully integrated thermal switch with an internal power transistor for driving a cooling fan rated up to 24V and 250mA. When the MAX6665’s temperature rises above a factory-programmed threshold, the FANOUT pin becomes active and powers the fan. The MAX6665 is available with factory-programmed fan activation threshold temperatures from +40°C to +70°C in 5°C increments. Accuracy of the fan activation trip point is ±1°C (typ) and ±3°C (max). The trip point’s hysteresis is pin selectable to 1°C, 4°C, or 8°C.
