Product details
Overview
The MAX6513UT085 from Maxim Integrated is an active-high remote temperature switch that uses an external diode-connected transistor as a sensing element to monitor remote junction temperature, with a factory-programmed trip threshold of +85°C, ±5°C accuracy over -40°C to +85°C ambient, 5°C/10°C pin-selectable hysteresis, and CMOS output capable of directly driving a cooling fan in CPU thermal management systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6513UT085 datasheet, MAX6513UT085 pinout, MAX6513UT085 application, or MAX6513UT085 equivalent, this device serves as a precision, low-power, SOT23-packaged thermal protection solution for embedded computing, battery packs, and multichip modules where accurate remote diode-based temperature monitoring and immediate logic-level fan control are required.
Technical Context
The MAX6513UT085 integrates a precision bandgap reference, chopper-stabilized amplifier, current source, and comparator to measure forward voltage across an external P-N junction and compute temperature. It continuously steers bias currents through the remote diode and performs oversampled voltage integration for noise immunity.
Hysteresis is selected via the HYST pin (VDD = 10°C, GND = 5°C), preventing output chatter near the +85°C trip point; the active-high TOVER output asserts when temperature exceeds the threshold and deasserts only after falling below (85°C – hysteresis), ensuring stable fan activation/deactivation timing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Temperature Threshold | +85°C factory-programmed trip point - defines exact thermal shutdown or fan-on activation temperature |
| Accuracy | ±5°C over -40°C to +85°C ambient - guarantees worst-case trip error in industrial operating environments |
| Hysteresis | PIN-selectable 5°C or 10°C - prevents oscillation during slow temperature transitions near threshold |
| Supply Range | +3.0V to +5.5V - compatible with standard 3.3V and 5V logic rails without level-shifting |
| Supply Current | 400µA typical - enables always-on thermal monitoring in power-constrained systems |
| Response Time | <100ms - ensures rapid reaction to thermal events such as CPU load spikes |
| Output Type | Active-high CMOS - directly interfaces with gate of power FET for fan control without pull-up resistors |
Pinout & Package
The MAX6513UT085 is packaged in a 6-pin SOT23-6 (package code U6F-6), with exposed pad not present; footprint is 9 mm², lead pitch 0.95 mm, body dimensions 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.1 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Power supply input | Accepts +3.0V to +5.5V; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor to GND for noise suppression |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for supply, sensing, and output; must be low-impedance |
| HYST | Hysteresis selection input | CMOS-compatible; VDD = 10°C hysteresis, GND = 5°C hysteresis; must not float |
| TOVER | Active-high CMOS output | Drives high (VDD – 0.2V min) when T ≥ 85°C; sinks ≤0.2V at 1mA load; fan-control ready |
| DXN | Negative sense terminal | Connects to cathode of external diode/transistor; must be tied to GND |
| DXP | Positive sense terminal | Connects to anode of external diode/transistor; pairs with DXN for differential remote sensing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Remote junction temperature measurement | Uses external diode-connected transistor (e.g., MMBT3904) - enables precise die-temperature monitoring of CPUs and SoCs |
| Factory-trimmed trip threshold | +85°C with no user calibration needed - reduces BOM count and firmware complexity in thermal management |
| Series resistance immunity | <1°C error with ≤100Ω parasitic resistance in DXP/DXN lines - tolerates PCB trace resistance without compensation |
| Noise-immune sensing architecture | Oversampling + chopper stabilization - rejects EMI from switching regulators and digital noise without external filtering beyond 2200pF |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar remote temperature switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6511UT085 | Active-low CMOS output; identical threshold, accuracy, and package | Requires inverted logic interface (e.g., µP reset input); cannot directly drive high-side fan FET | Select when interfacing with microcontroller reset/interrupt pins expecting active-low assertion |
| LM75BIMM-3/NOPB | I²C digital output; ±2°C accuracy; no remote diode support; 8-pin VSSOP | Requires MCU firmware polling or interrupt handling; measures local ambient, not remote junction | Select when digital bus integration and higher accuracy are prioritized over simplicity and direct actuation |
Compared with MAX6511UT085, the MAX6513UT085 provides native active-high fan control without inversion logic; compared with LM75BIMM-3/NOPB, it delivers faster, autonomous analog switching with remote diode capability but lacks digital configurability.

FAQ
What is the factory-set temperature threshold for the MAX6513UT085?
The MAX6513UT085 has a factory-programmed temperature trip threshold of +85°C. This value is laser-trimmed during production and is not user-adjustable. The device asserts its active-high TOVER output when the measured remote junction temperature equals or exceeds +85°C, and deasserts only after temperature falls below (85°C – hysteresis), where hysteresis is set to either 5°C or 10°C via the HYST pin. This fixed threshold eliminates calibration overhead in thermal protection circuits.
Does the MAX6513UT085 require an external sensing element, and what type is recommended?
Yes, the MAX6513UT085 requires an external P-N junction sensing element - typically a diode-connected transistor such as the MMBT3904, SST3904, or KST3904-TF. These devices must have base shorted to collector to form a two-terminal diode. The MAX6513UT085 steers bias currents through this external junction and measures its forward voltage to compute temperature. Transistors with tight forward current gain specs ensure consistent VBE characteristics and optimal accuracy.
Can the MAX6513UT085 operate from a 3.3V supply, and what is its typical current draw?
Yes, the MAX6513UT085 operates from +3.0V to +5.5V, making it fully compatible with standard 3.3V logic rails. Its typical supply current is 400µA at +25°C ambient, with a maximum of 600µA across the full -40°C to +85°C operating range. This low quiescent current enables continuous thermal monitoring in power-sensitive applications such as battery-powered instrumentation or always-on embedded controllers without significant impact on system runtime.
How is hysteresis configured on the MAX6513UT085, and why is it important?
Hysteresis on the MAX6513UT085 is configured using the HYST pin: connect to VDD for 10°C hysteresis or to GND for 5°C hysteresis. This setting determines the temperature delta between output assertion (+85°C) and deassertion (85°C – hysteresis). Hysteresis prevents output chatter when temperature fluctuates near the trip point - critical for reliable fan control or shutdown sequencing. The HYST pin must never be left floating, as undefined logic levels may cause unpredictable hysteresis behavior.
What package options are available for the MAX6513UT085, and are they RoHS-compliant?
The MAX6513UT085 is offered in the 6-pin SOT23-6 package (package code U6F-6), with footprint dimensions 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.1 mm. Per Maxim's ordering information, the MAX6513UT085 variant is not RoHS/lead-free - it is leaded. A lead-free TDFN option exists under the MAX6513TTxxx series (e.g., MAX6513TT085), but that is a distinct part number with different package (6-pin TDFN, 3×3 mm) and marking code (+ACY). The MAX6513UT085 itself remains a leaded SOT23 device.
