Rainbow Electronics MAX6645 User Manual

General Description
The MAX6643/MAX6644/MAX6645 monitor temperature and automatically adjust fan speed to ensure optimum cooling while minimizing acoustic noise from the fan. Each device measures two temperature locations.
The MAX6643/MAX6644/MAX6645 generate a PWM waveform that drives an external power transistor, which in turn modulates the fan’s power supply. The MAX6643/MAX6644/MAX6645 monitor temperature and adjust the duty cycle of the PWM output waveform to con­trol the fan’s speed according to the cooling needs of the system. The MAX6643 monitors its own die temperature and an optional external transistor’s temperature, while the MAX6644 and MAX6645 each monitor the temperatures of one or two external diode-connected transistors.
The MAX6643/MAX6644/MAX6645 are available in H and L versions. The H versions are trimmed for higher temperature trip thresholds than the L versions. The MAX6643 and MAX6644 have nine selectable trip tem­peratures (in 5°C increments). The MAX6645 is factory programmed and is not pin selectable.
All versions include an overtemperature output (OT). OT can be used for warning or system shutdown. The MAX6643 also features a FULLSPD input that forces the PWM duty cycle to 100%. The MAX6643/MAX6644/ MAX6645 also feature a FANFAIL output that indicates a failed fan. See the Selector Guide for a complete list of each device’s functions.
The MAX6643 and MAX6644 are available in a small 16-pin QSOP package and the MAX6645 is available in a 10-pin µMAX®package. All versions operate from
3.0V to 5.5V supply voltages and consume 500µA (typ) supply current.

Detailed Description
The MAX6643/MAX6644/MAX6645 measure temperature and automatically adjust fan speed to ensure optimum cooling while minimizing acoustic noise from the fan.
The MAX6643/MAX6644/MAX6645 generate a PWM waveform that drives an external power transistor, which in turn modulates the fan’s power supply. The MAX6643/MAX6644/MAX6645 monitor temperature and adjust the duty cycle of the PWM output waveform to control the fan’s speed according to the cooling needs of the system. The MAX6643 monitors its own die tem­perature and an optional external transistor’s tempera­ture, while the MAX6644 and MAX6645 each monitor the temperatures of one or two external diode-connect­ed transistors.
Temperature Sensor
The pn junction-based temperature sensor can mea­sure temperatures up to two pn junctions. The MAX6643 measures the temperature of an external diode-connected transistor, as well as its internal tem­perature. The MAX6644 and MAX6645 measure the temperature of two external diode-connected transis­tors. The temperature is measured at a rate of 1Hz.
If an external “diode” pin is shorted to ground or left unconnected, the temperature is read as 0°C. Since the larger of the two temperatures prevails, a faulty or unconnected diode is not used for calculating fan speed or determining overtemperature faults.
PWM Output
The larger of the two measured temperatures is always used for fan control. The temperature is compared to three thresholds: the high-temperature threshold (T
HIGH
),
the low-temperature threshold (T
LOW
), and the overtem­perature threshold, OT. The OT comparison is done once per second, whereas the comparisons with fan-control thresholds T
HIGH
and T
LOW
are done once every 4s.
The duty-cycle variation of PWM_OUT from 0% to 100% is divided into 64 steps. If the temperature measured exceeds the threshold T
HIGH
, the PWM_OUT duty cycle is incremented by one step, i.e., approximately 1.5% (100/64). Similarly, if the temperature measured is below the threshold T
LOW
, the duty cycle is decremented by
one step (1.5%). Since the T
HIGH
and T
LOW
compar­isons are done only once every 4s, the maximum rate of change of duty cycle is 0.4% per second.
Tables 1 and 2 show the °C value assigned to the TH_ and TL_ input combinations.

There are two options for the behavior of the PWM out­puts at power-up. Option 1 (minimum duty cycle = 0): at power-up, the PWM duty cycle is zero. Option 2 (minimum duty cycle = the start duty cycle): at power­up, there is a startup delay, after which the duty cycle goes to 100% for the spin-up period. After the startup delay and spin-up, the duty cycle drops to its minimum value. The minimum duty cycle is in the 0% to 50% range (see the Selector Guide).
To control fan speed based on temperature, T
HIGH
is set to the temperature beyond which the fan should spin at 100%. T
LOW
is set to the temperature below which the duty cycle can be reduced to its minimum value. After power-up and spin-up (if applicable), the duty cycle reduces to its minimum value (either 0% or the start duty cycle). For option 1 (minimum duty cycle = 0), if the measured temperature remains below T
HIGH
, the duty cycle remains at zero (see Figure 1). If the temper­ature increases above T
HIGH
, the duty cycle goes to 100% for the spin-up period, and then goes to the start duty cycle (for example, 40%). If the measured temper­ature remains above T
HIGH
when temperature is next measured (4s later), the duty cycle begins to increase, incrementing by 1.5% every 4s until the fan is spinning fast enough to reduce the temperature below T
HIGH
.
For option 2 (minimum duty cycle = start duty cycle), if the measured temperature remains below T
HIGH
, the duty cycle does not increase and the fan continues to run at a slow speed. If the temperature increases above T
HIGH
, the duty cycle begins to increase, incre­menting by 1.5% every 4s until the fan is spinning fast enough to reduce the temperature below T
HIGH
(see Figure 2). In both cases, if only a small amount of extra cooling is necessary to reduce the temperature below

, the duty cycle may increase just a few percent above the minimum duty cycle. If the power dissipation or ambient temperature increases to a high-enough value, the duty cycle may eventually need to increase to 100%.
If the ambient temperature or the power dissipation reduces to the point that the measured temperature is less than T
LOW
, the duty cycle begins slowly decre­menting until either the duty cycle reaches its minimum value or the temperature rises above T
LOW
.
The small duty-cycle increments and slow rate-of­change of duty cycle (1.5% maximum per 4s) reduce the likelihood that the process of fan-speed control is acoustically objectionable. The “dead band” between T
LOW
and T
HIGH
keeps the fan speed constant when the temperature is undergoing small changes, thus making the fan-control process even less audible.
Fan-Fail Sensing
The MAX6643/MAX6644/MAX6645 feature a FANFAIL output. The FANFAIL output is an active-low, open­drain alarm. The MAX6643/MAX6644/MAX6645 detect fan failure either by measuring the fan’s speed and rec­ognizing when it is too low, or by detecting a locked­rotor logic signal from the fan. Fan-failure detection is enabled only when the duty cycle of the PWM drive sig­nal is equal to 100%. This happens during the spin-up period when the fan first turns on and whenever the temperature is above T
HIGH
long enough that the duty
cycle reaches 100%. Many fans have open-drain tachometer outputs that
produce periodic pulses (usually two pulses per revolu­tion) as the fan spins. These tachometer pulses are monitored by the FAN_IN_ inputs to detect fan failures. If a 2-wire fan with no tachometer output is used, the fan’s speed can be monitored by using an external sense resistor at the source of the driving FET (see Figure 3). In this manner, the variation in the current flowing through the fan develops a periodic voltage waveform across the sense resistor. This periodic waveform is then highpass filtered and AC-coupled to the FAN_IN input. Any variations in the waveform that have an amplitude of more than ±150mV are converted to digital pulses. The frequency of these digital pulses is directly related to the speed of the rotation of the fan and can be used to detect fan failure.
Note that the value of the sense resistor must be matched to the characteristics of the fan’s current waveform. Choose a resistor that produces voltage variations of at least ±200mV to ensure that the fan’s operation can be reliably detected. Note that while most fans have current waveforms that can be used
with this detection method, there may be some that do not produce reliable tachometer signals. If a 2-wire fan is to be used with fault detection, be sure that the fan is compatible with this technique.
To detect fan failure, the analog sense-conditioned pulses or the tachometer pulses are deglitched and counted for 2s while the duty cycle is 100% (either dur­ing spin-up or when the duty cycle rises to 100% due to measured temperature). If more than 32 pulses are counted (corresponding to 480rpm for a fan that pro­duces two pulses per revolution), the fan is assumed to be functioning normally. If fewer than 32 pulses are received, the FANFAIL output is enabled and the PWM duty cycle to the FET transistor is either shut down in case of a single-fan (MAX6643) configuration or contin­ues normal operation in case of a dual-fan configuration (MAX6644/MAX6645).
Some fans have a locked-rotor logic output instead of a tachometer output. If a locked-rotor signal is to be used to detect fan failure, that signal is monitored for 2s while the duty cycle is 100%. If a locked-rotor signal remains active (low) for more than 2s, the fan is assumed to have failed.
The MAX6643/MAX6644/MAX6645 have two channels for monitoring fan-failure signals, FAN_IN1 and FAN_IN2. For the MAX6643, the FAN_IN_ channels monitor a tachometer. The MAX6643’s fault sensing can also be turned off by floating the TACHSET input.
For the MAX6644 and MAX6645, the FAN_IN1 and FAN_IN2 channels can be configured to monitor either a logic-level tachometer signal, the voltage waveform on a current-sense resistor, or a locked-rotor logic sig­nal. The TACHSET input selects which type of signal is to be monitored (see Table 3). To disable fan-fault sensing, TACHSET should be unconnected and FAN_IN1 and FAN_IN2 should be connected to V
DD
.
OT
Output
The MAX6643/MAX6644/MAX6645 include an over­temperature output that can be used as an alarm or a system-shutdown signal. Whenever the measured tem­perature exceeds the value selected using the OT pro­gramming inputs OT1 and OT2 (see Table 4), OT is asserted. OT deasserts only after the temperature drops below the threshold.
FULLSPD
Input
The MAX6643_A_ features a FULLSPD input. Pulling FULLSPD low forces PWM_OUT to 100% duty cycle.
The FULLSPD input allows a microcontroller to force the fan to full speed when necessary. It also allows a FANFAIL output to force other fans to 100% in multifan

systems, or for an over-temperature condition (by con­necting OT to FULLSPD).
FULLSPD Input
The MAX6643_B_ features a FULLSPD input. Pulling FULLSPD high forces PWM_OUT to 100% duty cycle. The FULLSPD input allows a microcontroller to force the fan to full speed when necessary. By connecting FANFAIL to an inverter, the MAX6643_B_ can force other fans to 100% in multifan systems, or for an over­temperature condition (by connecting OT inverter to FULLSPD).
Applications Information
Figures 3–6 show various configurations.
Remote-Diode Considerations
When using an external thermal diode, temperature accuracy depends upon having a good-quality, diode­connected, small-signal transistor. Accuracy has been experimentally verified for a variety of discrete small-
signal transistors, some of which are listed in Table 5. The MAX6643/MAX6644/MAX6645 can also directly measure the die temperature of CPUs and other ICs with on-board temperature-sensing diodes.
The transistor must be a small-signal type with a rela­tively high forward voltage. This ensures that the input voltage is within the ADC input voltage range. The for­ward voltage must be greater than 0.25V at 10µA at the highest expected temperature. The forward voltage must be less than 0.95V at 100µA at the lowest expect­ed temperature. The base resistance has to be less than 100. Tight specification of forward-current gain (+50 to +150, for example) indicates that the manufac­turer has good process control and that the devices have consistent characteristics.
Effect of Ideality Factor
The accuracy of the remote temperature measurements depends on the ideality factor (n) of the remote diode (actually a transistor). The MAX6643/MAX6644/ MAX6645 are optimized for n = 1.01, which is typical of many discrete 2N3904 and 2N3906 transistors. It is also near the ideality factors of many widely available CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs. However, any time a sense transis­tor with a different ideality factor is used, the output data is different. Fortunately, the difference is predictable.

Assume a remote-diode sensor designed for a nominal ideality factor n
NOMINAL
is used to measure the temper­ature of a diode with a different ideality factor, n1. The measured temperature TMcan be corrected using:
where temperature is measured in Kelvin. As mentioned above, the nominal ideality factor of the
MAX6643/MAX6644/MAX6645 is 1.01. As an example, assume the MAX6643/MAX6644/MAX6645 are config­ured with a CPU that has an ideality factor of 1.008. If the diode has no series resistance, the measured data is related to the real temperature as follows:
For a real temperature of +60°C (333.15K), the mea­sured temperature is 59.33°C (332.49K), which is an error of -0.66°C.
Effect of Series Resistance
Series resistance in a sense diode contributes addition­al errors. For nominal diode currents of 10µA and 100µA, change in the measured voltage is:
Since 1°C corresponds to 198.6µV, series resistance contributes a temperature offset of:
Assume that the diode being measured has a series resistance of 3. The series resistance contributes an offset of:
The effects of the ideality factor and series resistance are additive. If the diode has an ideality factor of 1.008 and series resistance of 3, the total offset can be cal­culated by adding error due to series resistance with error due to ideality factor:
1.36°C - 0.66°C = 0.7°C
for a diode temperature of +60.7°C.
In this example, the effect of the series resistance and the ideality factor partially cancel each other.
For best accuracy, the discrete transistor should be a small-signal device with its collector connected to base, and emitter connected to GND. Table 5 lists examples of discrete transistors that are appropriate for use with the MAX6643/MAX6644/MAX6645.
The transistor must have a relatively high forward volt­age; otherwise, the ADC input voltage range can be vio­lated. The forward voltage at the highest expected temperature must be greater than 0.25V at 10µA, and at the lowest expected temperature, the forward voltage must be less than 0.95V at 100µA. Large power transis­tors must not be used. Also, ensure that the base resis­tance is less than 100. Tight specifications for forward current gain (50 < ß <150, for example) indicate that the manufacturer has good process controls and that the devices have consistent VBEcharacteristics.
ADC Noise Filtering
The integrating ADC has inherently good noise rejec­tion, especially of low-frequency signals such as 60Hz/120Hz power-supply hum. Micropower operation places constraints on high-frequency noise rejection. Lay out the PC board carefully with proper external noise filtering for high-accuracy remote measurements in electrically noisy environments.
Filter high-frequency electromagnetic interference (EMI) at the DXP pins with an external 2200pF capaci­tor connected between DXP, DXP1, or DXP2 and ground. This capacitor can be increased to about 3300pF (max), including cable capacitance. A capaci­tance higher than 3300pF introduces errors due to the rise time of the switched-current source.
Twisted Pairs and Shielded Cables
For remote-sensor distances longer than 8in, or in par­ticularly noisy environments, a twisted pair is recom­mended. Its practical length is 6ft to 12ft (typ) before noise becomes a problem, as tested in a noisy electron­ics laboratory. For longer distances, the best solution is a shielded twisted pair like that used for audio micro­phones. For example, Belden 8451 works well for dis­tances up to 100ft in a noisy environment. Connect the twisted pair to DXP and GND and the shield to ground, and leave the shield’s remote end unterminated. Excess capacitance at DXP limits practical remote-sensor dis­tances (see the Typical Operating Characteristics).
For very long cable runs, the cable’s parasitic capaci­tance often provides noise filtering, so the recommend­ed 2200pF capacitor can often be removed or reduced

in value. Cable resistance also affects remote-sensor accuracy. A 1series resistance introduces about +1/2°C error.
PC Board Layout Checklist
1) Place the MAX6643/MAX6644/MAX6645 as close as
practical to the remote diode. In a noisy environment, such as a computer motherboard, this distance can be 4in to 8in or more, as long as the worst noise sources (such as CRTs, clock generators, memory buses, and ISA/PCI buses) are avoided.
2) Do not route the DXP lines next to the deflection coils
of a CRT. Also, do not route the traces across a fast memory bus, which can easily introduce +30°C error, even with good filtering. Otherwise, most noise sources are fairly benign.
3) Route the DXP and GND traces parallel and close to
each other, away from any high-voltage traces such as +12VDC. Avoid leakage currents from PC board contamination. A 20Mleakage path from DXP to ground causes approximately +1°C error.
4) Route as few vias and crossunders as possible to
minimize copper/solder thermocouple effects.
5) When introducing a thermocouple, make sure that both the DXP and the GND paths have matching thermocouples. In general, PC board-induced ther­mocouples are not a serious problem. A copper sol­der thermocouple exhibits 3µV/°C, and it takes approximately 200µV of voltage error at DXP/GN to cause a +1°C measurement error, so most parasitic thermocouple errors are swamped out.
6) Use wide traces. Narrow traces are more inductive and tend to pick up radiated noise. The 10-mil widths and spacings are recommended, but are not absolutely necessary (as they offer only a minor improvement in leakage and noise), but use them where practical.
7) Placing an electrically clean copper ground plane between the DXP traces and traces carrying high­frequency noise signals helps reduce EMI.
