General Description
The MAX6641 temperature sensor and fan controller
accurately measures the temperature of its own die and
the temperature of a remote pn junction. The device
reports temperature values in digital form using a 2-wire
serial interface. The remote pn junction is typically the
emitter-base junction of a common-collector pnp on a
CPU, FPGA, or ASIC.
The 2-wire serial interface accepts standard System
Management Bus (SMBus)
TM
write byte, read byte,
send byte, and receive byte commands to read the
temperature data and program the alarm thresholds.
The temperature data controls a PWM output signal to
adjust the speed of a cooling fan, thereby minimizing
noise when the system is running cool, but providing
maximum cooling when power dissipation increases.
The device also features an over-temperature alarm
output to generate interrupts, throttle signals, or shut
down signals. The MAX6641 operates from supply volt-
ages in the 3.0V to 5.5V range and typically consumes
500µA of supply current.
The MAX6641 is available in a slim 10-pin µMAX
®
pack-
age and is available over the -40°C to +125°C automo-
tive temperature range.
