Automatic PWM Fan-Speed Controllers
with Overtemperature Output
MAX6643/MAX6644/
MAX6645
General Description
Features
● Simple, Automatic Fan-Speed Control
The MAX6643/MAX6644/MAX6645 monitor temperature
and automatically adjust fan speed to ensure optimum
cooling while minimizing acoustic noise from the fan.
Each device measures two temperature locations.
● Internal and External Temperature Sensing
● Detect Fan Failure Through Locked-Rotor Output,
Tachometer Output, or Fan-Supply Current Sensing
The MAX6643/MAX6644/MAX6645 generate a PWM
waveform that drives an external power transistor, which
in turn modulates the fan’s power supply. The MAX6643/
MAX6644/MAX6645 monitor temperature and adjust the
duty cycle of the PWM output waveform to control the
fan’s speed according to the cooling needs of the system.
The MAX6643 monitors its own die temperature and
an optional external transistor’s temperature, while the
MAX6644 and MAX6645 each monitor the temperatures
of one or two external diode-connected transistors.
● Multiple, 1.6% Output Duty-Cycle Steps for Low
Audibility of Fan-Speed Changes
● Pin-Selectable or Factory-Selectable
Low-Temperature Fan Threshold
● Pin-Selectable or Factory-Selectable
High-Temperature Fan Threshold
● Spin-Up Time Ensures Fan Start
● Fan-Start Delay Minimizes Power-Supply Load
at Power-Up
The MAX6643 and MAX6644 have nine selectable trip
temperatures (in 5°C increments). The MAX6645 is
factory programmed and is not pin selectable.
● 32Hz PWM Output
● Controlled Duty-Cycle Rate-of-Change Ensures
Good Acoustic Performance
All versions include an overtemperature output (OT).
OT can be used for warning or system shutdown. The
MAX6643 also features a FULLSPD input that forces
the PWM duty cycle to 100%. The MAX6643/MAX6644/
MAX6645 also feature a FANFAIL output that indicates a
failed fan. See the Selector Guide for a complete list of
each device’s functions.
● 2°C Temperature-Measurement Accuracy
● FULLSPD Input Sets PWM to 100%
● Pin-Selectable OT Output Threshold
● 16-Pin QSOP and 10-Pin μMAX Packages
The MAX6643 and MAX6644 are available in a small
16-pin QSOP package and the MAX6645 is available in
a 10-pin μMAX package. All versions operate from 3.0V
