GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC620 and TC621 are programmable logic output
temperature detectors designed for use in thermal management applications. The TC620 features an on-board temperature sensor, while the TC621 connects to an external
NTC thermistor for remote sensing applications.
Both devices feature dual thermal interrupt outputs
(HIGH LIMIT and LOW LIMIT), each of which program with
a single external resistor. On the TC620, these outputs are
driven active (high) when measured temperature equals the
user-programmed limits. The CONTROL (hysteresis) output is driven high when temperature equals the high limit
setting, and returns low when temperature falls below the
low limit setting. This output can be used to provide simple
ON/OFF control to a cooling fan or heater. The TC621
provides the same output functions except that the logical
states are inverted.
The TC620/621 are usable over a maximum temperature range of – 40°C to +125°C.

*Static-sensitive device. Unused devices must be stored in conductive
material. Protect devices from static discharge and static fields. Stresses
above those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those
indicated in the operation sections of the specifications is not implied.
Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may
affect device reliability.
