Product details
Overview
MAX6501UKP085-T from Maxim Integrated is a factory-programmed, micropower temperature switch with +85°C hot-trip threshold, active-low open-drain output, and pin-selectable 2°C/10°C hysteresis. It operates from +2.7V to +5.5V, consumes 30µA typical supply current, achieves ±0.5°C typical threshold accuracy over -55°C to +125°C, and requires no external components. It interfaces directly with microprocessor reset inputs for thermal safety in high-speed computing systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6501UKP085-T datasheet, MAX6501UKP085-T pinout, MAX6501UKP085-T application, or MAX6501UKP085-T equivalent, key selection criteria include trip-point precision, open-drain drive capability into µP reset logic, hysteresis configuration flexibility, low quiescent current for battery-sensitive designs, and SOT23-5 footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX6501UKP085-T uses dual on-chip temperature-dependent voltage references-one with positive and one with negative temperature coefficient-to define its +85°C trip point via their intersection. Its internal comparator drives an open-drain output stage that sinks up to 1.2mA at VCC > 2.7V, with guaranteed VOL ≤ 0.3V under that condition.
Hysteresis is selected by biasing the HYST pin to GND (2°C) or VCC (10°C); this prevents output oscillation near threshold and is confirmed functional across the full -55°C to +125°C operating range. The device incorporates a power-on reset circuit ensuring defined output state for 50µs at startup.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.7V to +5.5V - supports direct connection to common logic rails without regulation. |
| Temperature Threshold | +85°C - factory-trimmed hot-trip point, accurate to ±0.5°C (typ) over full operating range. |
| Output Type | Active-low, open-drain - compatible with µP reset inputs; requires external pull-up resistor. |
| Supply Current | 30µA (typ) - enables use in always-on, battery-backed thermal monitoring circuits. |
| Hysteresis Options | 2°C (HYST = GND) or 10°C (HYST = VCC) - user-configurable to prevent chatter during slow thermal transients. |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded environments. |
| Package | SOT23-5 - compact 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint with Pin 2 optimized for lowest thermal resistance to die. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 package with exposed pad not electrically connected; Pin 2 provides lowest thermal resistance path to die and must be connected to ground plane for optimal thermal response.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 GND | Ground reference | Both pins are ground; connect together near chip; Pin 2 is thermally critical for die-to-PCB heat transfer. |
| 3 HYST | Hysteresis select input | CMOS-compatible digital input: tie to GND for 2°C hysteresis, VCC for 10°C; must not float. |
| 4 VCC | Positive supply | +2.7V to +5.5V supply input; decoupling capacitor recommended near pin. |
| 5 TOVER | Active-low open-drain output | Sinks current when die temperature exceeds +85°C; requires external pull-up (e.g., 100kΩ) to VCC or higher voltage. |

Use Value: Provides graded response-cooling first, then shutdown-without software intervention or timing dependencies. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar temperature switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM20BIMAX/NOPB | Analog output temperature sensor (0.5V–1.5V linear scale), not a switch; requires external comparator and reference. | Used where variable temperature feedback is needed-not suitable for direct reset assertion. | Select only if system already includes ADC/comparator and needs analog telemetry alongside switching. |
| TC74A0-5.0VAT | I²C digital output, ±2°C accuracy, 250µA supply current, +2.7V to +5.5V supply, SOIC-8 package. | Requires µC I²C interface and firmware polling; no autonomous reset assertion. | Choose when centralized thermal management with multiple sensors is preferred over distributed autonomous switches. |
Compared with LM20BIMAX/NOPB and TC74A0-5.0VAT, the MAX6501UKP085-T delivers autonomous, zero-software, sub-1ms response to thermal excursions with minimal external components-making it optimal for safety-critical reset and alarm functions where latency and reliability are paramount.

FAQ
What is the exact temperature trip point of the MAX6501UKP085-T?
The MAX6501UKP085-T has a factory-programmed hot-trip threshold of +85°C, with typical accuracy of ±0.5°C over the full -55°C to +125°C operating range. This value is laser-trimmed during manufacturing and does not require field calibration. The MAX6501UKP085-T asserts its open-drain output low when die temperature exceeds this point.
Does the MAX6501UKP085-T require external components to operate?
No, the MAX6501UKP085-T requires no external components for basic operation. It integrates both temperature references and a comparator internally. Only an external pull-up resistor (e.g., 100kΩ) on the TOVER pin is needed to interface with a microprocessor reset input. No capacitors, resistors, or trimming networks are necessary for threshold functionality.
How is hysteresis configured on the MAX6501UKP085-T?
Hysteresis on the MAX6501UKP085-T is set by the voltage applied to the HYST pin: connect HYST to GND for 2°C hysteresis or to VCC for 10°C hysteresis. The pin must not be left floating, as intermediate voltages increase supply current. This configuration is verified functional across the entire -55°C to +125°C operating temperature range of the MAX6501UKP085-T.
Can the MAX6501UKP085-T drive a microprocessor reset input directly?
Yes, the MAX6501UKP085-T's active-low open-drain TOVER output is designed specifically for direct interface with µP reset inputs. When the die temperature exceeds +85°C, TOVER pulls low and sinks up to 1.2mA (at VCC > 2.7V), meeting standard reset input requirements. A pull-up resistor to the µP's logic rail completes the interface-no buffer or level shifter is needed for the MAX6501UKP085-T.
What is the thermal resistance and self-heating impact of the MAX6501UKP085-T?
The MAX6501UKP085-T in SOT23-5 has a typical θJA of 140°C/W. With 30µA supply current and negligible output loading, self-heating is <0.01°C. Even under worst-case 1mA sink, power dissipation adds only ~0.3mW, causing a die temperature rise of ~0.042°C-well within the ±0.5°C accuracy spec. Pin 2's low thermal resistance ensures rapid thermal tracking of the monitored device.
