General Description
The MAX6615/MAX6616 monitor two temperature chan-
nels, either the internal die temperature and the temper-
ature of an external thermistor, or the temperatures of
two external thermistors. The temperature data controls
a PWM output signal to adjust the speed of a cooling
fan, thereby minimizing noise when the system is run-
ning cool, but providing maximum cooling when power
dissipation increases. The fans’ tachometer output sig-
nals are monitored by the MAX6615/MAX6616 to detect
fan failure. If a fan failure is detected, the FAN_FAIL
output is asserted.
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 programmable alarm output can be used to gener-
ate interrupts, throttle signals, or overtemperature shut-
down signals.
The MAX6616 features six GPIOs to provide additional
flexibility. All of the GPIOs power-up as inputs, with the
exception of GPIO0, which powers up as either an input
or an output as determined by connecting the PRESET
pin to ground or V
CC
.
The MAX6616 is available in a 24-pin QSOP package,
while the MAX6615 is available in a 16-pin QSOP pack-
age. Both devices operate from a single-supply voltage
range of 3.0V to 5.5V, have operating temperature
ranges of -40°C to +125°C, and consume just 500µA of
supply current.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Stresses beyond 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 beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
