Product details
Overview
The MAX6508UT0A32-T from Maxim Integrated is a dual-threshold, push-pull output temperature switch in SOT23-6 packaging, factory-programmed with TUNDER = -40°C and TOVER = +125°C, operating from +2.5V to +5.5V, delivering ±0.5°C typical threshold accuracy and 30µA typical supply current for thermal window monitoring in microprocessor systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6508UT0A32-T datasheet, MAX6508UT0A32-T pinout, MAX6508UT0A32-T application, or MAX6508UT0A32-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its push-pull OVER/OK outputs, pin-selectable 2°C/10°C hysteresis via S0, factory-set full-range trip points, and SOT23 footprint compatibility with space-constrained thermal management designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6508UT0A32-T implements a fully integrated BiCMOS temperature-sensing architecture with two factory-trimmed bandgap references-one positive and one negative temperature coefficient-whose intersection defines precise trip thresholds. It uses internal comparators to drive push-pull digital outputs without external components.
Its dual-output logic (OVER active-high, OK active-low) enables direct interface with microcontroller GPIOs or system control logic. Hysteresis is selected solely by the S0 pin (GND = 2°C, VCC = 10°C), while no S1 connection is used-consistent with MAX6507/MAX6508 architecture and confirmed in Pin Description Table.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.5V to +5.5V - supports direct connection to common logic rails without level-shifting. |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±0.5°C (typ) - ensures tight thermal window control across -40°C to +125°C ambient. |
| Supply Current | 30µA (typ) - enables always-on thermal monitoring with negligible impact on system power budget. |
| Hysteresis | 2°C or 10°C (pin-selectable via S0) - prevents output chatter near trip points under slow thermal transients. |
| Output Type | Push-pull (OVER high-active, OK low-active) - eliminates need for external pull-up resistors and simplifies PCB layout. |
| Package | SOT23-6 - surface-mount footprint compatible with automated assembly and high-density layouts. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +125°C - matches industrial and extended-temperature microprocessor environments. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6508UT0A32-T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 6-pin SOT23 package (package code U6SN+1), with 115°C/W thermal resistance and standard 0.95mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OK | Push-pull active-low output asserting when die temperature is between TOVER and TUNDER (-40°C to +125°C). |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for internal circuitry and output stage; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 3 | S0 | Hysteresis select input: GND = 2°C, VCC = 10°C - no internal pull-up/down; requires explicit biasing. |
| 4 | VCC | Positive supply input; requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND per layout guidelines. |
| 5 | N.C. | No internal connection - left unconnected; not usable as spare I/O or ground. |
| 6 | OVER | Push-pull active-high output asserting when die temperature exceeds TOVER (+125°C). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual factory-programmed thresholds | TUNDER = -40°C and TOVER = +125°C - enables full-range thermal window detection without calibration or trimming. |
| Pin-selectable hysteresis | 2°C or 10°C via single S0 pin - provides noise immunity tuning without additional components or firmware. |
| Push-pull output stage | Eliminates external pull-up resistors for both OVER and OK signals - reduces BOM count and board area. |
| Low quiescent current | 30µA typical supply current - allows continuous monitoring in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems. |
| No external components required | Self-contained sensing and logic - simplifies design validation and accelerates time-to-market for thermal protection circuits. |
Applications
| Microprocessor Thermal Monitoring | Fan Speed Control Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Mounted beneath a socketed CPU to monitor real-time die temperature during load transitions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-output thermal window detector providing OK (in-spec) and OVER (overheat) status signals to host controller. Use Value: Enables immediate fan activation at +125°C and safe operation confirmation below -40°C, preventing thermal runaway without software polling. | Use Scenario: Directly driving fan enable logic in embedded industrial controllers where discrete transistor stages are undesirable. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Push-pull OVER output serves as hardware-based fan trigger; OK output confirms nominal thermal zone. Use Value: Reduces component count by eliminating pull-up resistors and level shifters, improving reliability in high-vibration environments. |
| Power Supply Thermal Shutdown | Industrial PLC Temperature Guardbanding |
Use Scenario: Monitoring heatsink temperature in DC-DC converter modules to initiate graceful shutdown before MOSFET thermal failure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Hardware-level overtemperature latch using OVER signal to disable PWM controller enable pin. Use Value: Provides fail-safe, sub-100µs response to thermal excursions independent of firmware state or clock domain. | Use Scenario: Verifying ambient sensor housing remains within operational envelope (-40°C to +125°C) in outdoor automation cabinets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: OK output indicates valid operating range; persistent LOW on OK triggers diagnostic alert. Use Value: Detects enclosure seal failure or heater malfunction by identifying out-of-window conditions with ±0.5°C repeatability. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-threshold temperature switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6507UT0A32-T | Open-drain OVER/OK outputs; identical trip points (-40°C/+125°C) and S0 hysteresis selection. | Requires external pull-up resistors; suited for wired-OR bus configurations or mixed-voltage systems. | Select when interfacing with legacy 3.3V/5V open-drain buses or where output contention tolerance is needed. |
| LMT70AYPWR | Analog output temperature sensor (not switch); 0.1°C accuracy but requires ADC and firmware decision logic. | Enables programmable thresholds and dynamic adjustment; lacks hardware-level immediacy of MAX6508UT0A32-T. | Select when fine-grained thermal profiling is required, not binary window detection. |
Compared with MAX6507UT0A32-T, the MAX6508UT0A32-T eliminates pull-up resistors and reduces system latency; compared with LMT70AYPWR, it delivers deterministic, zero-software thermal fault response but lacks analog resolution.

FAQ
What are the exact factory-programmed temperature thresholds for MAX6508UT0A32-T?
The MAX6508UT0A32-T has TUNDER = -40°C and TOVER = +125°C, as indicated by the "0A32" suffix per Table 4 in the datasheet: "0A" maps to -40°C and "32" maps to +125°C. These are laser-trimmed during manufacturing and require no user configuration. The MAX6508UT0A32-T operates across the full industrial temperature range with ±0.5°C typical accuracy at these setpoints.
Does MAX6508UT0A32-T require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
No, the MAX6508UT0A32-T features push-pull outputs for both OVER and OK pins, eliminating the need for external pull-up resistors. This contrasts with open-drain variants like MAX6507UT0A32-T. The push-pull stage drives high or low actively, enabling direct connection to microcontroller inputs or logic gates without additional components - a key design advantage confirmed in the Pin Description and Typical Operating Circuits sections.
How is hysteresis configured on MAX6508UT0A32-T?
Hysteresis on the MAX6508UT0A32-T is configured exclusively via the S0 pin (Pin 3): connecting S0 to GND selects 2°C hysteresis, and connecting S0 to VCC selects 10°C hysteresis. S1 is not used in MAX6508 devices and remains unconnected. This single-pin control simplifies layout and avoids ambiguity - verified in Table 2 (Hysteresis Selection) and Pin Description.
What is the supply current consumption of MAX6508UT0A32-T across temperature?
The MAX6508UT0A32-T consumes 30µA typical supply current at +25°C and VCC = +5V, with maximum 60µA across -40°C to +125°C per Electrical Characteristics. Its supply current remains stable over voltage (2.5V–5.5V) and temperature, enabling predictable power budgeting in always-on thermal monitoring circuits - confirmed in Figure MAX6505/8-01 and the ICC specification row.
Can MAX6508UT0A32-T be used in place of MAX6505 or MAX6506 series parts?
No, the MAX6508UT0A32-T is not functionally interchangeable with MAX6505/MAX6506 parts. It implements a different architecture: dual-threshold window detection (OVER/OK) versus alarm/warning (ALARM/WARN) logic. Pinout differs (e.g., N.C. on Pin 5 vs. ALARM/WARN), and output polarity and behavior are incompatible. Substitution would require PCB redesign and firmware changes - confirmed in Pin Configurations and Detailed Description sections.
