MAX6665ASA40+T - Maxim Integrated

General Description

The MAX6665 is a fully integrated thermal switch with

an internal power transistor for driving a cooling fan

rated up to 24V and 250mA. When the MAX6665’s tem-

perature rises above a factory-programmed threshold,

the FANOUT pin becomes active and powers the fan.

The MAX6665 is available with factory-programmed fan

activation threshold temperatures from +40°C to +70°C

in 5°C increments. Accuracy of the fan activation trip

point is ±1°C (typ) and ±3°C (max). The trip point’s hys-

teresis is pin selectable to 1°C, 4°C, or 8°C. Two open-

drain logic outputs indicate overtemperature con-

ditions: WARN is activated when the temperature is

15°C above the fan activation threshold, and OT is acti-

vated when the temperature is 30°C above the thresh-

old. These features can be used to safely power down

systems that are overheated.

The MAX6665 operates from a +2.7V to +5.5V power

supply, and the associated fan can be powered from

4.5V to 24V. It is available in an 8-pin SO package and

operates from -40°C to +125°C.

Fan Controller/Driver with Factory-

Programmed Temperature Thresholds

Detailed Description

The MAX6665 is a simple fan controller/driver that turns

on the internal power transistor when its die tempera-

ture exceeds a factory-set threshold. By connecting a

small (typically 5V to 12V, 100mA to 250mA) cooling

fan to FANOUT, a simple on/off fan-control system is

created. FANOUT drives the fan’s low side. The fan’s

positive supply pin should be connected to its normal

power-supply voltage (up to 24V nominal).

To turn the fan on when the MAX6665’s die temperature

is less than the threshold voltage, drive FORCEON low.

This overrides the internal control circuitry and allows

an external device to activate the fan. FANON is an

active-high push-pull logic output that goes high when

the fan is turned on, either when temperature exceeds

the threshold or the fan is forced on.

WARN is an active-low, open-drain digital output that

indicates the MAX6665’s die temperature exceeds

15°C above the fan trip threshold. WARN output serves

as a warning that the system temperature has contin-

ued to rise well above the fan activation temperature.

OT is an active-low open-drain digital output that indi-

cates the MAX6665’s die temperature exceeds 30°C

above the fan trip threshold. It serves as a thermal shut-

down output to the system in case of excessive temper-

ature rise. Figure 1 shows a typical application circuit

for a high-reliability, fail-safe temperature monitor.

Applications Information

Thermal Considerations and Hysteresis

The temperature comparator has hysteresis to prevent

small temperature changes near the threshold temper-

ature from causing the fan to turn on and off repeatedly

over short periods of time. The FANOUT pin goes

active and powers the fan when the MAX6665’s die

temperature exceeds the factory-programmed trip tem-

perature. As the cooling fan operates, the circuit board

temperature should decrease, which in turn causes the

MAX6665’s die temperature to decrease. When the die

temperature is equal to the trip threshold minus the

hysteresis, the FANOUT pin turns the fan off, removing

power from the fan. The HYST pin sets the amount of

hysteresis to 1°C, 4°C, or 8°C by letting the pin float or

connecting to GND or VDD, respectively. This allows

the amount of hysteresis to be matched to the cooling

and noise requirements of the system.

Hysteresis is also affected by self-heating of the

MAX6665’s die. The fan current flowing through the on-

chip power transistor causes the die temperature to

increase. For example, assume the MAX6665 controls

a 125mA fan. When the fan is operating, the voltage

drop across the output transistor is typically under

250mV. At 250mV, the power dissipation is 31.25mW.

The thermal resistance of the MAX6665 package (with

EP soldered) is 51°C/W, so the die temperature

Pin Description

increases by a maximum of:

51°C/W x 0.03125W = 1.59°C

Therefore, the effective hysteresis is about 1.59°C high-

er than the hysteresis selected by the HYST pin. For

example, setting the HYST pin for 8°C of hysteresis

results in an effective hysteresis of about 9.6°C.

A larger fan with a power-supply current of 250mA

causes a maximum voltage drop of 0.6V at the output

pin. This results in 150mW power dissipation and the

die temperature increases by:

51°C/W x 0.150W = 7.65°C

If the HYST pin has been set for 8°C of hysteresis, the

total effective hysteresis will be about 15.7°C.

Using fans with somewhat higher operating current

than 250mA results in higher voltage across the output

transistor. The increased power dissipation caused by

the higher current and voltage levels will increase self-

heating, thereby increasing the effective hysteresis.

When using higher-power fans, be sure that the

MAX6665’s power dissipation does not cause so much

self-heating that the MAX6665 stays on constantly.

Locating the MAX6665

The location of the MAX6665 in the system affects its

operation. Because the fan is turned on and off based

on the MAX6665’s die temperature, place the MAX6665

close to major heat-generating components in the sys-

tem—a high-speed CPU or a power device, for exam-

ple. A higher supply voltage reduces the FANOUT

voltage, which reduces the self-heating effects.

The die temperature of the MAX6665 tracks the tempera-

ture of its leads and the EP. If it is soldered to a PC board,

it quickly reaches the temperature of the traces in that

section of the circuit board. Air temperature affects the die

temperature. Since the plastic package does not conduct

heat as well as the leads, the effect of air temperature is

much less than that of lead temperature.

Layout Issues

The MAX6665’s GND pin is ground return for the fan dri-

ver and the device. Large fan current induces noise

(ground bounce) to the MAX6665. Bypass VDD to GND

with a 1µF tantalum capacitor located as close to the

MAX6665 as possible. For long VDD and GND lines, an

additional bypass capacitor may be needed. The bypass

capacitor reduces GND noise. The EP is internally con-

nected to the GND pin. Solder the EP to the ground plane

for better electrical and thermal performance.
