MAX6670AUB40+

General Description
The MAX6668/MAX6670 remote-junction thermal
switches with an internal power transistor drive a cool-
ing fan rated for supply voltages up to +12V and
250mA. These devices measure the temperature of an
external P-N junction (typically a diode-connected tran-
sistor) and turn on the fan power switch when the
remote temperature rises above a factory-programmed
threshold. Self-contained and requiring no software
development, the MAX6668/MAX6670 are simple
“drop-in” fan-control solutions for a variety of systems.
The MAX6670 features an open-drain WARN output
that goes active when the remote temperature exceeds
the factory-programmed fan activation threshold by
+15°C. The MAX6670 features an open-drain OT output
that goes active when the remote temperature exceeds
the factory-programmed threshold by +30°C. The
MAX6668/MAX6670 provide a fan-control input,
FORCEON, that allows the fan to be driven externally,
regardless of temperature.
Available temperature thresholds range from +40°C to
+75°C in 5°C increments. Hysteresis is preset to 8°C on
the MAX6668 or pin selectable to 4°C, 8°C, or 12°C
using a three-level logic input on the MAX6670.
Temperature threshold accuracy is ±1°C (typ) and
±2.2°C (max) for remote-junction temperatures from
+40°C to +75°C.
The MAX6668/MAX6670 operate from a +3V to +3.6V
power supply, and are specified over the automotive
temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). The MAX6668 is
offered in an 8-pin µMAX package and the MAX6670 is
available in a space-saving 10-pin µMAX package.
