Product details
Overview
MAX1756BEUT from Maxim Integrated is a latched SMBus-compatible temperature comparator IC with ±3°C accuracy (25°C–100°C), 8°C programmable temperature window, and open-drain ALERT interrupt output - designed for thermal monitoring in CPU voltage regulators, memory modules, and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1756BEUT datasheet, MAX1756BEUT pinout, MAX1756BEUT application, or MAX1756BEUT equivalent, key selection criteria include its latched ALERT behavior, DAC-programmable trip thresholds, -40°C to +125°C operating range, 2.375V–5.5V supply, and SOT23-6 package compatibility with space-constrained thermal sensing nodes.
Technical Context
The MAX1756BEUT implements a dual-threshold sampling architecture: one DAC level sets the rising trip point (TMAX), the other sets the falling threshold (THYST = TMAX − 8°C), enabling precise windowed thermal detection. Its PTAT-based analog front-end feeds a low-offset comparator shared between both thresholds via time-multiplexed sampling at ~1kHz.
SMBus communication uses Send Byte/Receive Byte protocols only - no command byte, no Alert Response support - with 7-bit slave addressing configurable via the ADD pin (VCC/GND/floating). The device enters software standby (<4µA) when TMAX is set to negative full scale, and features POR defaults including +100°C TMAX and masked THYST interrupts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| DAC Resolution | 2°C per LSB - enables fine-grained thermal trip adjustment in integer-degree steps |
| Temperature Accuracy | ±3°C (25°C–100°C); ±5°C (-40°C–125°C) - defines worst-case error margin for thermal safety margins |
| Temperature Window | 8°C (TMAX to THYST) - supports hysteresis-free windowing algorithms without external logic |
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.375V to +5.5V - compatible with 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V system rails without level-shifting |
| Operating Current | 200µA max - enables always-on thermal monitoring in low-power embedded systems |
| SMBus Clock Frequency | DC to 100kHz - allows ultra-slow polling for power-sensitive applications |
| Output Type | Open-drain ALERT - supports wired-OR interrupt bus sharing with multiple sensors |
Pinout & Package
MAX1756BEUT is housed in a 6-pin SOT23 package (3.0mm × 1.7mm × 1.3mm), optimized for PCB footprint minimization and direct placement under microprocessors or near hot components.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - ADD | Slave address select input | Configures one of three SMBus addresses (VCC/GND/floating); latched at POR and standby exit |
| 2 - SMBDATA | SMBus bidirectional data line | Open-drain I/O requiring external pull-up; supports standard SMBus byte read/write protocols |
| 3 - SMBCLK | SMBus clock input | Asynchronous clock input; timing compliant with SMBus v1.1 (min 4µs high/low times) |
| 4 - ALERT | Latched interrupt output | Active-low open-drain signal asserted on TMAX exceedance or THYST undershoot; cleared only by status read or TMAX write |
| 5 - VCC | Power supply input | +2.375V to +5.5V rail; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor to GND for noise immunity |
| 6 - GND | Ground reference | Analog/digital common return; critical for thermal conduction path and measurement accuracy |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Latched ALERT output | Ensures interrupt persistence until firmware explicitly acknowledges - prevents missed thermal events during slow polling cycles |
| Programmable 8°C temperature window | Enables dynamic "centered window" thermal control without host-side hysteresis calculation or additional comparators |
| Software standby mode | Reduces current to <4µA when TMAX = −128°C - extends battery life in portable thermal monitors |
| Three-address pin-strapping | Allows up to six MAX1756BEUT devices on one SMBus without address conflict - simplifies multi-zone thermal mapping |
| UVLO and POR protection | Prevents erroneous trips during power ramp-up; clears registers below 1.5V and disables DAC below 2.2V |
Applications
| CPU Thermal Throttling | Memory Module Overtemperature Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Real-time die temperature monitoring adjacent to x86 or ARM processors to trigger clock throttling before thermal shutdown. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Latched ALERT output directly drives processor THERMTRIP# or asserts interrupt to PMIC for immediate frequency scaling. Use Value: 8°C windowing allows firmware to dynamically adjust TMAX around real-time junction temperature - eliminating oscillatory throttling behavior. | Use Scenario: Monitoring DDR4/DDR5 module temperature to prevent data corruption or premature wear during sustained workloads. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: SMBus-connected sensor providing asynchronous ALERT assertion when module exceeds JEDEC-defined thermal limits (e.g., 95°C). Use Value: ±3°C accuracy over 25°C–100°C ensures compliance with JEDEC JESD22-A104 reliability testing thresholds. |
| Industrial PLC Cabinet Monitoring | Automotive Infotainment SoC Thermal Management |
Use Scenario: Detecting ambient cabinet temperature rise in programmable logic controllers to activate forced-air cooling before component derating. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone thermal comparator interfacing with PLC's microcontroller via SMBus; triggers relay control on ALERT assertion. Use Value: -40°C to +125°C extended temperature rating guarantees operation across industrial ambient extremes without calibration drift. | Use Scenario: Monitoring application processor die temperature in automotive head units to initiate display dimming or audio muting before thermal shutdown. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Directly mounted on SoC substrate; ALERT signal routed to vehicle network controller for coordinated thermal response. Use Value: Open-drain ALERT supports 12V-tolerant wired-OR bus integration with other vehicle thermal sensors using single-pull-up configuration. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar temperature comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1755BEUT | Self-clearing OVERT output (not latched); 4°C built-in hysteresis; identical DAC resolution and SMBus interface | Best suited for simple overtemperature alerts where automatic reset is preferred - e.g., fan start-up triggers | Select MAX1755BEUT when interrupt persistence is unnecessary and system design favors autonomous recovery |
| LM75BIMM/NOPB | ±2°C accuracy (0°C–70°C), 11-bit temperature register, no programmable windowing, ALERT polarity selectable via config register | Requires host-side hysteresis management; lacks dual-threshold windowing capability of MAX1756BEUT | Choose LM75BIMM/NOPB for cost-sensitive designs needing basic temperature readback + alert, not dynamic windowing |
Compared with MAX1755BEUT, MAX1756BEUT provides deterministic interrupt persistence essential for closed-loop thermal control, while LM75BIMM/NOPB offers higher base accuracy but requires firmware overhead to emulate windowing - making MAX1756BEUT optimal for responsive, self-contained thermal event handling.

FAQ
What is the function of the ADD pin on the MAX1756BEUT?
The ADD pin on the MAX1756BEUT selects one of three SMBus slave addresses by connecting to VCC, GND, or left floating - enabling up to six MAX1756BEUT devices on a single bus. The address is latched at power-on reset and again when exiting software standby mode, ensuring stable communication without runtime reconfiguration.
How does the MAX1756BEUT implement temperature windowing?
The MAX1756BEUT implements temperature windowing using two DAC outputs: TMAX sets the upper trip threshold, and THYST (TMAX − 8°C) sets the lower threshold. When temperature crosses either boundary, the latched ALERT output asserts - allowing firmware to detect both over- and undertemperature conditions without external hysteresis circuitry or host-side calculations.
What is the default trip threshold for MAX1756BEUT at power-up?
At power-up, the MAX1756BEUT defaults to a TMAX value of +100°C, with THYST automatically set to +92°C (8°C below TMAX). The ALERT output is initially masked for undertemperature events, and the status register is cleared - ensuring predictable startup behavior in thermal control loops.
Can the MAX1756BEUT operate from a 2.5V supply?
Yes, the MAX1756BEUT operates from +2.375V to +5.5V, fully supporting 2.5V nominal supplies. Its undervoltage lockout activates below ~2.2V (typ), and all specifications - including ±3°C accuracy and 200µA max supply current - are guaranteed across this entire range, making it compatible with modern low-voltage digital systems.
How is the ALERT output cleared on the MAX1756BEUT?
The ALERT output on the MAX1756BEUT is latched and remains asserted until cleared by either reading the status register or writing a new value to the TMAX register. Both actions reset the OVER and UNDER bits in the status byte and deassert ALERT - ensuring firmware retains full control over interrupt acknowledgment timing.
