General Description
The MAX6514/MAX6515 low-cost, fully integrated temperature switches assert a logic signal when their die temperature crosses a factory-programmed threshold.
Operating from a 2.7V to 5.5V supply, these devices feature a fixed voltage reference, an analog temperature
sensor, and a comparator. They are available with factory-trimmed temperature trip thresholds from -45°C to
+15°C and +35°C to +115°C in 10°C increments, and are
accurate to ±1°C (typ). These devices require no external
components and typically consume 22µA of supply current. Hysteresis is pin selectable at 2°C or 10°C.
The MAX6514/MAX6515 are offered with hot-temperature thresholds (+35°C to +115°C), asserting when the
temperature is above the threshold or with cold-temperature thresholds (-45°C to +15°C), asserting when the
temperature is below the threshold. The MAX6514/
MAX6515 can be used over a -35°C to +125°C range
with a supply voltage of 2.7V to 5.5V. For applications
sensing temperature down to -45°C, a supply voltage
above 4.5V is required.
The MAX6514 has an active-high, push-pull output. The
MAX6515 has an active-low, open-drain output. These
devices are available in a space-saving 5-pin SOT23
package and operate over the -55°C to +125°C temperature range.

Pin Description
Detailed Description
The MAX6514/MAX6515 fully integrated temperature
switches incorporate a fixed reference, an analog temperature sensor, and a comparator. Pin-selectable 2°C
or 10°C hysteresis keeps the digital output from oscillating when the die temperature approaches the
threshold temperature. The MAX6514 has an activehigh, push-pull output structure that can sink or source
current. The MAX6515 has an active-low, open-drain
output structure that can only sink current. The internal
power-on reset circuit guarantees the logic output is at
its +25°C state for at least 50µs.
Hysteresis Input
The HYST input selects the devices’ temperature hysteresis and prevents the output from oscillating when the
temperature approaches the trip point. Connect HYST to
VCCfor 2°C hysteresis or to GND for 10°C hysteresis.
Logic Temperature Indicators
Overtemperature Indicator (Hot Thresholds)
TOVER and TOVER designations apply to thresholds
above TA= +25°C (+35°C, +45°C, +55°C, +65°C,
+75°C, +85°C, +95°C, +105°C, and +115°C). All “hot”
thresholds are positive temperatures.
The overtemperature indicator output is open drain
active low (TOVER) or push-pull active high (TOVER).
TOVER goes low when the die temperature exceeds
the factory-programmed temperature threshold. TOVER
should be pulled up to a voltage no greater than 5.5V
with a 100kΩ pullup resistor. TOVER is a push-pull
active-high CMOS output that goes high when the die
temperature exceeds the factory-programmed temperature threshold.
Undertemperature Indicator (Cold Thresholds)
TUNDER and TUNDER designations apply to thresholds below TA= +25°C (+15°C, +5°C, -5°C, -15°C,
-25°C, -35°C, -45°C). The undertemperature indicator
output is open-drain, active low (TUNDER) or push-pull,
active high (TUNDER). TUNDER goes low when the die
temperature goes below the factory-programmed temperature threshold. TUNDER should be pulled up to a
voltage no greater than 5.5V with a 100kΩ pullup resistor. TUNDER is a push-pull active-high CMOS output
that goes high when the die temperature falls below the
factory-programmed temperature threshold.

Applications Information
Temperature-Window Alarm
The MAX6515 logic output asserts when the die temperature is outside the factory-programmed range.
Combining the outputs of two devices creates an
over/undertemperature alarm. Two MAX6515s are used
to form two complementary pairs, containing one cold
trip-point output and one hot trip-point output. The
assertion of either output alerts the system to an out-ofrange temperature (Figure 1).
The thermal overrange signal can be used to assert a
thermal shutdown, power-up, recalibration, or other
temperature-dependent function.
Low-Cost, Fail-Safe Temperature
In high-performance/high-reliability applications, multiple temperature monitoring is important. The high-level
integration and low cost of the MAX6514/MAX6515
facilitate the use of multiple temperature monitors to
increase system reliability. The Figure 2 application
uses two MAX6514s with different hot-temperature
thresholds to ensure that fault conditions that can overheat the monitored device cause no permanent damage. The first temperature monitor activates the fan
when the die temperature exceeds +45°C. The second
MAX6514 triggers a system shutdown if the die temperature reaches +75°C, preventing damage from a wide
variety of destructive fault conditions, including
latchups, short circuits, and cooling-system failures.
Thermal Considerations
The MAX6514/MAX6515 supply current is typically
22µA. When used to drive high-impedance loads, the
devices dissipate negligible power and self-heating
effects are minimized.
Accurate temperature monitoring depends on the thermal resistance between the device being monitored
and the MAX6514/MAX6515 die. Heat flows in and out
of plastic packages, primarily through the leads. Pin 2
of the 5-pin SOT23 package provides the lowest thermal resistance to the die. Short, wide copper traces
between the MAX6514/MAX6515 and the objects
whose temperature is being monitored ensure heat
transfers occur quickly and reliably. The rise in die temperature due to self-heating is given by the following
formula:
ΔTJ= P
DISSIPATION
x θ
JA
where P
DISSIPATION
is the power dissipated by the
MAX6514/MAX6515, and θJAis the thermal resistance
of the package.
The typical thermal resistance is +140°C/W for the 5pin SOT23 package. To limit the effects of self-heating,
minimize the output current. For example, if the
MAX6514/MAX6515 sink 1mA, the open-drain output
voltage is guaranteed to be less than 0.3V. Therefore,
an additional 0.3mW of power is dissipated within the
IC. This corresponds to a 0.042°C shift in the die temperature in the 5-pin SOT23 package.
