MAX6685/MAX6686 are dual-output temperature switches that use an external diode-connected transistor as a sensing element. These devices have two logic outputs (THIGH and TLOW). THIGH asserts a logic signal when the remote temperature crosses the factory-programmed, +120°C, or +125°C upper trip threshold. TLOW is asserted when the remote temperature exceeds the lower threshold, which is controlled by pins S1 and S2. The lower thresholds are available in two ranges in 5°C increments. The two ranges are +40°C to +80°C and +75°C to +115°C. Hysteresis for both outputs to be deasserted is typically 5°C.THIGH is an open-drain, active-low output for both the MAX6685 and the MAX6686. TLOW is a CMOS push-pull, active-high output for the MAX6685 and is an open-drain, active-low output for the MAX6686. They are available in a space-saving 8-pin µMAX package.ApplicationsCPU Temperature ProtectionFan ControlFPGA Temperature ProtectionMultichip Modules

The DS1775 digital thermometer and thermostatprovides temperature readings that indicate the device’stemperature. Thermostat settings and temperaturereadings are all communicated to/from the DS1775 overa simple 2-wire serial interface. No additional componentsare required; the device is truly a “temperature-to-digital”converter.For applications that require greater temperature resolution,the user can adjust the readout resolution from 9 to 12bits. This is particularly useful in applications wherethermal runaway conditions must be detected quickly.The open-drain thermal alarm output, O.S., becomesactive when the temperature of the device exceeds auser-defined temperature TOS. The number of consecutivefaults required to set O.S. active is configurable by theuser. The device can also be configured in the interrupt orcomparator mode, to customize the method which clearsthe fault condition.As a digital thermometer, the DS1775 is software compatiblewith the DS75 2-wire thermal watchdog. The DS1775 isassembled in a compact 5-pin SOT23 package, allowingfor low-cost thermal monitoring/control in spaceconstrainedapplications. The low thermal mass allows fortime constants previously only possible with thermistors.ApplicationsAny Thermally-Sensitive SystemCell PhonesOffice EquipmentPersonal Computers/Servers/Workstations

The DS1631, DS1631A, and DS1731 digital thermometers provide 9, 10, 11, or 12-bit temperature readings over a -55°C to +125°C range. The DS1631 and DS1631A thermometer accuracy is ±0.5°C from 0°C to +70°C with 3.0V ≤ VDD ≤ 5.5V, and the DS1731 accuracy is ±1°C from -10°C to +85°C with 3.0V ≤ VDD ≤ 5.5V. The thermostat on all three devices provides custom hysteresis with user-defined trip points (TH and TL). The TH and TL registers and thermometer configuration settings are stored in NV EEPROM so they can be programmed prior to installation. In addition, the DS1631A automatically begins taking temperature measurements at power-up, which allows it to function as a stand-alone thermostat.ApplicationsMedicalNetworkingPersonal ComputingRouters/SwitchesTest Measurement SystemsWireless Base Stations

The MAX6695/MAX6696 are precise, dual-remote, and local digital temperature sensors. They accurately measure the temperature of their own die and two remote diode-connected transistors, and report the temperature in digital form on a 2-wire serial interface. The remote diode is typically the emitter-base junction of a common-collector PNP on a CPU, FPGA, GPU, or ASIC.The 2-wire serial interface accepts standard system management bus (SMBus) commands such as Write Byte, Read Byte, Send Byte, and Receive Byte to read the temperature data and program the alarm thresholds and conversion rate. The MAX6695/MAX6696 can function autonomously with a programmable conversion rate, which allows control of supply current and temperature update rate to match system needs. For conversion rates of 2Hz or less, the temperature is represented as 10 bits + sign with a resolution of +0.125°C. When the conversion rate is 4Hz, output data is 7 bits + sign with a resolution of +1°C. The MAX6695/MAX6696 also include an SMBus timeout feature to enhance system reliability.Remote temperature sensing accuracy is ±1.5°C between +60°C and +100°C with no calibration needed. The MAX6695/MAX6696 measure temperatures from -40°C to +125°C. In addition to the SMBus active-low ALERT output, the MAX6695/MAX6696 feature two overtemperature limit indicators (active-low OT1 and active-low OT2), which are active only while the temperature is above the corresponding programmable temperature limits. The active-low OT1 and active-low OT2 outputs are typically used for fan control, clock throttling, or system shutdown.The MAX6695 has a fixed SMBus address. The MAX6696 has nine different pin-selectable SMBus addresses. The MAX6695 is available in a 10-pin µMAX® and the MAX6696 is available in a 16-pin QSOP package. Both operate throughout the -40°C to +125°C temperature range.ApplicationsDesktop ComputersNotebook ComputersServersTest and Measurement EquipmentWorkstations

The MAX6509/MAX6510 are fully integrated, resistor-programmable temperature switches with thresholds set by an external resistor. They require only one external resistor to set the temperature threshold within a wide -40±C to +125±C temperature range. The MAX6509 provides an open-drain output. The MAX6510 features three selectable output options: active-low, active-high, and open drain with an internal pull-up resistor.These switches operate with a +2.7V to +5.5V single supply while providing a temperature threshold accuracy of ±0.5°C (typ) or ±4.7°C (max). They typically consume 32µA supply current. Hysteresis is pin selectable to 2°C or 10°C.The MAX6509/MAX6510 are available in 5-pin and 6-pin SOT23 packages, respectively.ApplicationsµP Temperature Monitoring in High-Speed ComputersFan ControlTemperature AlarmsTemperature Control

The MAX1298/MAX1299 implement local and remote temperature sensing with 12-bit resolution, using +5V and +3V supply voltages, respectively. Accuracy is ±1°C from 0 to +70°C, with no calibration needed. The devices feature an algorithmic switched-capacitor analog-to-digital converter (ADC), an on-chip clock, and a 3-wire serial interface compatible with SPI, QSPI™, and MICROWIRE®.The MAX1298/MAX1299 also perform fully differential voltage measurements with 12-bit resolution and separate track-and-hold (T/H) for positive and negative inputs. Both devices accept versatile input modes consisting of two 3-channel signal pairs, five 1-channel signals relative to an AIN5, or VDD/4 relative to ground. An external reference may be used for more accurate voltage measurements.Typical power consumption is only 1.3mW (MAX1299). A shutdown mode and two standby modes provide multiple strategies for prolonging battery life in portable applications that require limited sampling throughput.The MAX1298/MAX1299 are available in 16-pin SSOP packages.ApplicationsHandheld Instruments (PDAs, Palmtops)Industrial Process ControlsMedical Equipment
