Low-Cost, 2.7V to 5.5V Temperature Switches
in a SOT23
4/MAX615
General Description
Features
The MAX6514/MAX6515 low-cost, fully integrated temper-
ature switches assert a logic signal when their die tem-
perature crosses a factory-programmed threshold.
Operating from a 2.7V to 5.5V supply, these devices fea-
ture a fixed voltage reference, an analog temperature
sensor, and a comparator. They are available with facto-
ry-trimmed temperature trip thresholds from -45°C to
+15°C and +35°C to +115°C in 10°C increments, and are
accurate to 1°C ꢀtypꢁ. These devices reꢂuire no external
components and typically consume 22µA of supply cur-
rent. Hysteresis is pin selectable at 2°C or 10°C.
♦ High-Accuracy 1.5°C (max) over -15°C to +65°C
Temperature Range
♦ Low-Power Consumption: 22µA Typical Current
♦ Factory-Programmed Thresholds from -45°C to
+115°C in 10°C Increments
♦ Open-Drain or Push-Pull Outputs
♦ Pin-Selectable 2°C or 10°C Hysteresis
Ordering Information
The MAX6514/MAX6515 are offered with hot-tempera-
ture thresholds ꢀ+35°C to +115°Cꢁ, asserting when the
temperature is above the threshold or with cold-temper-
ature thresholds ꢀ-45°C to +15°Cꢁ, asserting when the
temperature is below the threshold. The MAX6514/
MAX6515 can be used over a -35°C to +125°C range
with a supply voltage of 2.7V to 5.5V. For applications
sensing temperature down to -45°C, a supply voltage
above 4.5V is reꢂuired.

Note: These parts are offered in 16 standard temperature ver-
sions with a minimum order of 2500 pieces. To complete the
suffix information, add P or N for positive or negative trip tem-
perature, and select an available trip point in degrees centi-
grade. For example, the MAX6514UKP065+T describes a
MAX6514 in a 5-pin SOT23 package with a +65°C threshold in

pricing and availability.
The MAX6514 has an active-high, push-pull output. The
MAX6515 has an active-low, open-drain output. These
devices are available in a space-saving 5-pin SOT23
package and operate over the -55°C to +125°C tem-
perature range.
