Product details
Overview
MAX6517UKP055+T from Maxim Integrated is an active-low, open-drain temperature switch with factory-programmed +55°C hot threshold, ±1.5°C max accuracy over -15°C to +65°C, 22µA typical supply current, and pin-selectable 2°C/10°C hysteresis - used for overtemperature protection in fan control and server thermal management.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6517UKP055+T datasheet, MAX6517UKP055+T pinout, MAX6517UKP055+T application, or MAX6517UKP055+T equivalent, key selection criteria include trip-point accuracy, open-drain output drive capability, analog OUT voltage linearity, hysteresis configuration, and SOT23 thermal response in still air.
Technical Context
The MAX6517UKP055+T integrates a BiCMOS analog temperature sensor, fixed voltage reference, and comparator to generate a logic signal when die temperature exceeds +55°C. Its TOVER output asserts low upon crossing the threshold, while the analog OUT pin provides a linear voltage (1.8015V − 10.62mV/°C × ΔT) for board-level calibration.
Hysteresis is controlled by the HYST pin: tied to VCC for 2°C or GND for 10°C, preventing output oscillation near trip point. The device operates from 2.7V to 5.5V and supports capacitive loads up to 1000pF without instability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V to 5.5V - compatible with 3.3V and 5V systems without level-shifting |
| Temperature Threshold | +55°C hot threshold - factory-trimmed, no external calibration required |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5°C max over -15°C to +65°C - ensures reliable trip timing in PC and server thermal zones |
| Supply Current | 22µA typical - enables always-on monitoring in battery-backed or low-power embedded systems |
| Hysteresis Options | 2°C (HYST = VCC) or 10°C (HYST = GND) - selectable per PCB layout, not software-configurable |
| Analog Output Range | 0.77V to 2.59V over -45°C to +125°C - supports ADC-based temperature verification during production test |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain TOVER - requires external 100kΩ pullup; tolerant of pullup voltages > VCC (≤5.5V) |
Pinout & Package
MAX6517UKP055+T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23 package (U5+2 outline), with 1.6mm × 1.6mm footprint and 0.95mm height - optimized for space-constrained thermal sensing on dense PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT | Analog temperature output - voltage proportional to die temperature; used for calibration and functional test |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - lowest thermal resistance path to die; must be connected directly to PCB ground plane |
| 3 | HYST | Hysteresis select input - logic-high (VCC) sets 2°C hysteresis; logic-low (GND) sets 10°C hysteresis |
| 4 | VCC | Power supply input - bypassed with 0.1µF capacitor to suppress noise-induced false trips |
| 5 | TOVER | Open-drain active-low overtemperature output - sinks current when T ≥ +55°C; pulled up externally to enable wired-OR alarm logic |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-programmed +55°C trip point | Eliminates need for external resistors or trimming; reduces BOM count and assembly steps |
| Pin-selectable hysteresis | Enables single-footprint design for multiple thermal response profiles without changing layout |
| Analog OUT with ±2°C linearity | Allows post-assembly validation of thermal circuit functionality using standard ADC resources |
| Open-drain TOVER with >VCC tolerance | Permits direct interface to 3.3V microcontrollers even when VCC = 2.7V, simplifying mixed-voltage systems |
| 22µA supply current | Supports continuous monitoring in always-on subsystems without impacting system power budget |
Applications
| Fan Control | Server Overtemperature Alarm |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Thermal management in CPU cooling subsystems where airflow must activate before critical junction temperature is reached. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6517UKP055+T acts as dedicated hardware overtemperature detector, asserting TOVER low at +55°C to trigger fan PWM controller. Use Value: Prevents thermal throttling by initiating cooling 15–20°C below CPU Tjmax, extending component lifetime and maintaining performance stability. | Use Scenario: Rack-mounted server motherboard requiring fail-safe shutdown if ambient or VRM temperature exceeds safe operating limit. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6517UKP055+T serves as primary overtemperature indicator, driving interrupt input of baseboard management controller (BMC) via open-drain wire-OR bus. Use Value: Enables deterministic, hardware-level shutdown independent of firmware state - critical for data integrity during thermal fault conditions. |
| Notebook Battery Protection | RAID Controller Thermal Monitoring |
Use Scenario: Lithium-ion battery pack monitoring where cell temperature must stay below +55°C during fast charging. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6517UKP055+T monitors battery pack thermistor location; TOVER output disables charging FET gate driver upon threshold breach. Use Value: Meets IEC 62133 safety requirements by providing autonomous, analog-sensed cutoff without MCU intervention. | Use Scenario: High-density storage array where SAS/SATA controller ICs require localized thermal supervision to prevent data corruption. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6517UKP055+T is mounted adjacent to RAID controller ASIC; analog OUT verifies thermal gradient across die, while TOVER triggers throttling logic. Use Value: Correlates analog voltage slope with thermal transient response, enabling predictive throttling before error-correcting code (ECC) failure thresholds are exceeded. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar temperature switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6517UKP065+T | +65°C trip threshold vs. +55°C; identical pinout, supply range, and hysteresis options | Suitable for higher-temperature environments (e.g., industrial enclosures) where +55°C is too conservative | Select when thermal margin must accommodate ambient rise above 45°C or extended operation under load |
| LM75BIMM/NOPB | I²C digital interface, ±2°C accuracy, no analog output, 3.0V–5.5V supply, SO-8 package | Requires MCU firmware support and I²C routing; lacks hardware alarm assertion without polling | Choose only when system already uses I²C sensors and software-controlled threshold adjustment is preferred over fixed hardware trip |
Compared with MAX6517UKP055+T, the +65°C variant offers higher thermal headroom in less thermally constrained designs, while the LM75BIMM/NOPB trades autonomous hardware response for programmability and multi-sensor integration - neither is pin-compatible, but both serve discrete overtemperature detection roles.

FAQ
What is the exact temperature trip point of the MAX6517UKP055+T?
The MAX6517UKP055+T has a factory-programmed hot-temperature threshold of +55°C, with accuracy guaranteed to ±1.5°C maximum over the -15°C to +65°C range. This value is laser-trimmed during manufacturing and does not require external calibration. The trip point remains stable across the full operating supply range (2.7V to 5.5V) and temperature range (-55°C to +125°C).
How does the hysteresis setting affect the behavior of the MAX6517UKP055+T?
The MAX6517UKP055+T uses the HYST pin to select between 2°C and 10°C hysteresis: connect HYST to VCC for 2°C, or to GND for 10°C. With 2°C hysteresis, the device deasserts TOVER when temperature falls to +53°C after tripping at +55°C; with 10°C, it deasserts at +45°C. This prevents output chatter near the threshold and is configured at power-up - no runtime change is possible.
Can the MAX6517UKP055+T be used for undertemperature detection?
No - the MAX6517UKP055+T is specifically configured for hot-threshold operation (+55°C). It asserts TOVER low when temperature exceeds +55°C and remains asserted until temperature drops below (55°C − THYST). For cold-threshold detection (e.g., below 0°C), a different variant such as MAX6517UKN005+T must be selected, as trip polarity and internal reference are factory-set per part number.
What is the function of the OUT pin on the MAX6517UKP055+T?
The OUT pin on the MAX6517UKP055+T provides an analog voltage proportional to die temperature, ranging from 0.77V at -45°C to 2.59V at +125°C. Its transfer function follows VOUT = 1.8015V − 10.62mV/°C × (T − 30°C), enabling board-level temperature verification using an ADC. This pin is not used for logic output - TOVER handles that function.
Does the MAX6517UKP055+T require external components to operate?
The MAX6517UKP055+T requires only a 0.1µF bypass capacitor on VCC and a 100kΩ pullup resistor on TOVER to function as a standalone temperature switch. No external resistors, capacitors, or trimming components are needed for threshold setting or hysteresis selection - all are factory-programmed and pin-configured. The analog OUT pin may interface directly with an ADC without buffering.
