Product details
Overview
MAX6508UT9155+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual-threshold, push-pull output temperature switch in SOT23-6 packaging, factory-programmed with TUNDER = +91°C and TOVER = +55°C (window mode), operating from +2.5V to +5.5V, delivering ±0.5°C typical threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, and consuming 30µA typical supply current for microprocessor thermal monitoring and fan control.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6508UT9155+T datasheet, MAX6508UT9155+T pinout, MAX6508UT9155+T application, or MAX6508UT9155+T equivalent, key selection criteria include push-pull OVER/OK logic polarity, pin-selectable 2°C/10°C hysteresis via S0, factory-set window thresholds, SOT23 thermal coupling capability, and absence of external components for trip-point configuration.
Technical Context
The MAX6508UT9155+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 TOVER and TUNDER. It operates in temperature-window mode: OK asserts high when die temperature is strictly between +55°C and +91°C; OVER asserts high above +91°C.
Hysteresis is controlled solely by the S0 pin: grounded for 2°C, tied to VCC for 10°C-applied identically to both OVER and OK outputs. No internal hysteresis is applied to the warning threshold since the device lacks WARN functionality (exclusive to MAX6505/MAX6506).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.5V to +5.5V - supports direct interface with 3.3V and 5V logic rails without level-shifting. |
| Threshold Accuracy (typ) | ±0.5°C - enables precise thermal margining in CPU/GPU thermal management without calibration. |
| Supply Current (typ) | 30µA - minimizes self-heating (<0.3°C die rise) and eliminates need for power-gating in always-on monitoring. |
| Factory-Set Thresholds | TUNDER = +55°C, TOVER = +91°C - defines a 36°C operational window optimized for industrial-grade processor thermal envelope control. |
| Output Type | Push-pull (active-high OVER, active-low OK) - drives logic inputs directly without pull-up resistors or external buffering. |
| Hysteresis Selection | Pin-selectable 2°C or 10°C via S0 - prevents output chatter during slow thermal transients near trip points. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and telecom base station environments. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6508UT9155+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 6-pin SOT23 package (package code U6SN+1), with 1.3mm × 0.8mm footprint and 1.0mm height, optimized for PCB space-constrained thermal sensing adjacent to heat sources.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OK | Push-pull active-low output: low = temperature within window (+55°C < T < +91°C); high = out-of-window condition. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for internal bandgap references and output stage; must be low-impedance connection to minimize thermal measurement error. |
| 3 | S0 | Hysteresis select input: GND = 2°C hysteresis, VCC = 10°C hysteresis - no pull-up/down required; direct MCU GPIO control possible. |
| 4 | VCC | Power supply input (+2.5V to +5.5V); requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor to suppress supply noise affecting threshold stability. |
| 5 | N.C. | No internal connection - left unconnected; no routing or stubs permitted to avoid parasitic coupling. |
| 6 | OVER | Push-pull active-high output: high = die temperature > +91°C; used for immediate thermal shutdown signaling without external inversion. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual factory-programmed thresholds | +55°C (TUNDER) and +91°C (TOVER) - eliminates trimming circuitry and reduces BOM count in volume thermal monitor designs. |
| Push-pull output stage | Drives CMOS/TTL loads directly - removes need for external pull-ups, simplifies layout, and improves noise immunity vs. open-drain alternatives. |
| Pin-selectable hysteresis | 2°C or 10°C via single S0 pin - enables adaptive response to system thermal ramp rates without firmware or hardware changes. |
| ±0.5°C typical threshold accuracy | Validated across full –40°C to +125°C range - ensures reliable trip-point behavior in uncontrolled ambient environments without recalibration. |
| No external components required | Zero external passives for trip-point definition - reduces assembly cost, improves long-term reliability, and accelerates time-to-market. |
Applications
| Microprocessor Thermal Monitoring | Fan Speed Control Interface |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Real-time die temperature tracking of x86 or ARM-based processors in embedded industrial controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-threshold window comparator providing independent OVER (shutdown) and OK (in-spec operation) signals to host controller. Use Value: Enables dynamic fan speed staging: OK signal maintains baseline cooling; OVER triggers immediate 100% fan duty cycle or system reset before thermal throttling occurs. |
Use Scenario: Closed-loop thermal management in network switch chassis with multiple ASICs and power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Local temperature window detector feeding fan controller PWM input; OVER acts as emergency override signal. Use Value: Eliminates software polling latency - hardware-level response (<100µs) to overtemperature events ensures fan reacts before junction exceeds safe limits. |
| Industrial Motor Drive Protection | Telecom Power Amplifier Monitoring |
|
Use Scenario: IGBT module temperature supervision in servo drive inverters operating at 85°C ambient. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone thermal watchdog asserting OVER when heatsink temperature exceeds +91°C, independent of main controller health. Use Value: Provides fail-safe shutdown path even during MCU lockup - critical for functional safety compliance (IEC 61800-5-2). |
Use Scenario: GaN FET bias temperature regulation in 5G mmWave power amplifiers with tight thermal margins. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Window-mode sensor confirming PA operates within optimal efficiency band (+55°C to +91°C); OK enables RF transmission. Use Value: Prevents RF performance degradation by disabling transmit path when temperature drifts outside linear gain region - improves EVM and ACLR. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6507UT9155+T | Open-drain OVER and OK outputs; identical thresholds and hysteresis selection. | Requires external pull-up resistors; compatible only where bus-sharing or wired-OR logic is needed. | Select when interfacing with shared interrupt lines or legacy 3.3V systems with weak pull-ups. |
| LTC2992IMS#PBF | 12-bit digital temperature sensor with I²C interface, programmable thresholds, and voltage monitoring - not pin-compatible. | Provides continuous temperature readback and multi-channel sensing; higher cost and firmware dependency. | Select when real-time temperature telemetry, logging, or multi-zone monitoring is required beyond simple window detection. |
Compared with MAX6507UT9155+T, the MAX6508UT9155+T eliminates external pull-ups and simplifies board layout; compared with LTC2992IMS#PBF, it delivers deterministic sub-100µs response without MCU involvement - essential for safety-critical thermal cutoffs.

FAQ
What is the exact temperature window programmed into MAX6508UT9155+T?
The MAX6508UT9155+T is factory-programmed with TUNDER = +55°C and TOVER = +91°C, establishing a 36°C operational window. This configuration is confirmed by the "9155" suffix per Maxim's Table 4 hex-code mapping: "91" = +91°C (TOVER), "55" = +55°C (TUNDER). The device asserts OK only when temperature is strictly between these two points.
Does MAX6508UT9155+T require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
No. The MAX6508UT9155+T features push-pull output drivers on both OVER and OK pins, enabling direct connection to CMOS/TTL inputs without external pull-up resistors. This eliminates BOM items, reduces PCB area, and improves noise immunity compared to open-drain variants like MAX6507UT9155+T.
How is hysteresis configured on MAX6508UT9155+T, and what values are supported?
Hysteresis on MAX6508UT9155+T is set exclusively via the S0 pin: grounding S0 selects 2°C hysteresis, while tying S0 to VCC selects 10°C hysteresis. This applies identically to both OVER and OK outputs. S1 is unused (N.C.) in MAX6508 devices and must remain unconnected.
Can MAX6508UT9155+T be used in automotive under-hood applications?
Yes. The MAX6508UT9155+T is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C and packaged in a qualified SOT23-6 (U6SN+1) with RoHS-compliant finish. Its ±0.5°C typical threshold accuracy and 30µA supply current make it suitable for engine control unit (ECU) thermal monitoring and power module supervision where passive reliability and minimal self-heating are critical.
What is the function of Pin 5 (N.C.) on MAX6508UT9155+T, and how should it be handled?
Pin 5 on MAX6508UT9155+T is designated N.C. (No Connection) - it has no internal connection and must remain unconnected on the PCB. Routing traces to or placing solder pads on this pin may introduce parasitic capacitance or noise coupling; best practice is to omit the pad entirely or leave it floating with no copper attachment.
