AW
The MAX6505–MAX6508 fully integrated teꢀperature
switches incorporate two teꢀperature-dependent refer-
ences and a coꢀparator. One reference exhibits a pos-
itive teꢀperature coefficient and the other a negative
teꢀperature coefficient. The teꢀperature at which the
two reference voltages are equal deterꢀines the teꢀ-
perature trip point. There are two versions, each of
which has two logic outputs.

soꢀe applications, the SOT23-6 packages ꢀay be
sꢀall enough to fit underneath a socketed ꢀicro-
processor (µP), allowing the device to ꢀonitor the µP’s
teꢀperature directly. Use the ꢀonitor’s output to reset
the µP, assert an interrupt, or trigger an external alarꢀ.
Accurate teꢀperature ꢀonitoring depends on the ther-
ꢀal resistance between the device being ꢀonitored
and the MAX6505–MAX6508 die.
The teꢀperature threshold hysteresis for the ALARM
output of the MAX6505/MAX6506 is 2°C. The hysteresis
for the WARN output depends on the value of ∆T . If

∆T
is 5°C or 10°C (set by S0 and S1), WARN hys-

teresis is 5°C. If ∆T
is 20°C or 30°C, WARN hystere-
AW
sis is 10°C. MAX6507 and MAX6508 have pin-selectable
hysteresis of 2°C or 10°C for both OVER and OK out-
puts (Table 2).
The rise in die teꢀperature due to self-heating is given

Thermal Considerations
The MAX6505–MAX6508 supply current is typically
30µA. When used to drive high-iꢀpedance loads, the
devices dissipate negligible power. Therefore, the die
teꢀperature is essentially the saꢀe as the package
teꢀperature. The key to accurate teꢀperature ꢀonitor-
ing is good therꢀal contact between the MAX6505–
MAX6508 package and the device being ꢀonitored. In
where P
is the power dissipated by the

resistance. The typical therꢀal resistance is +115°C/W
for the SOT23-6 package. To liꢀit the effects of self-heat-
ing, ꢀiniꢀize the output currents. For exaꢀple, if the
MAX6505 sinks 5ꢀA, the output voltage is guaranteed to
be less than 0.5V. Therefore, an additional 2.5ꢀW of
