Product details
Overview
MAX6665ASA40+ from Maxim Integrated is a factory-programmed thermal fan controller with integrated 250mA low-side power switch, +40°C activation threshold (±3°C max error), 1°C/4°C/8°C pin-selectable hysteresis, and dual overtemperature outputs (WARN at +15°C, OT at +30°C above threshold). It drives cooling fans rated up to 24V/250mA in notebook, server, and lab instrument thermal management systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6665ASA40+ datasheet, MAX6665ASA40+ pinout, MAX6665ASA40+ application, or MAX6665ASA40+ equivalent, this page delivers verified thermal trip accuracy, FANOUT drive capability, hysteresis configuration logic, WARN/OT timing relationships, and SO-EP package thermal performance data essential for fail-safe fan control design.
Technical Context
The MAX6665ASA40+ implements a die-temperature-sensing comparator with factory-trimmed +40°C trip point and programmable hysteresis via HYST pin voltage level (floating = 1°C, GND = 4°C, VDD = 8°C). Its internal N-channel MOSFET switches the FANOUT pin low to sink up to 250mA, while FANON provides active-high push-pull fan-status feedback.
WARN and OT are open-drain outputs with 2°C hysteresis, activated at fixed offsets (+15°C and +30°C) relative to the FANOUT threshold. FORCEON enables external override of thermal control by forcing FANOUT active regardless of die temperature, supporting system-initiated cooling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Fan Activation Threshold | +40°C ±3°C max error - ensures precise thermal trigger point for cooling initiation in high-reliability systems |
| FANOUT Drive Capability | 250mA continuous sink at VFANOUT < 0.6V - directly drives common 5–24V DC fans without external transistor |
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.7V to +5.5V - compatible with 3.3V and 5V logic rails; fan supply independent (4.5–24V) |
| Quiescent Current | 65µA typical - minimizes standby power impact in always-on thermal monitoring applications |
| Hysteresis Options | 1°C (HYST floating), 4°C (HYST = GND), 8°C (HYST = VDD) - configurable to match system thermal inertia and acoustic requirements |
| WARN/OT Trigger Offsets | +15°C (WARN), +30°C (OT) above threshold - provides staged thermal warning and hard shutdown signals |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - supports deployment near high-power ICs in industrial and computing environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX6665ASA40+ is housed in an 8-pin SOIC with exposed paddle (SO-EP), optimized for thermal dissipation and PCB ground-plane integration. The exposed paddle is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to the PCB ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Ground reference | Common return for internal circuitry and FANOUT current path; connects to exposed paddle |
| 2 FORCEON | Active-low fan override input | Drives FANOUT active regardless of temperature when pulled low; high = normal thermal control |
| 3 HYST | Hysteresis selection input | Floating = 1°C, GND = 4°C, VDD = 8°C - sets turn-off temperature offset to prevent fan oscillation |
| 4 FANON | Active-high fan status output | Push-pull signal indicating FANOUT is actively sinking current (fan ON) |
| 5 OT | Active-low overtemperature output | Open-drain signal asserted when die temp ≥ +70°C; requires external pullup for system shutdown logic |
| 6 WARN | Active-low warning output | Open-drain signal asserted when die temp ≥ +55°C; used for early thermal alert before shutdown |
| 7 VDD | Logic supply input | +2.7V to +5.5V supply; bypass with 1µF capacitor close to pin to suppress ground bounce from fan switching |
| 8 FANOUT | Low-side fan driver output | N-channel MOSFET drain; connects to fan cathode/low side; sinks up to 250mA to GND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 250mA fan switch | Eliminates need for external MOSFET and gate driver, reducing BOM count and layout area in compact thermal subsystems |
| Factory-programmed +40°C threshold | Guarantees consistent thermal response across production units without calibration or trimming components |
| Dual open-drain overtemperature outputs | Enables hierarchical thermal response: WARN for system throttling, OT for immediate power-down or reset assertion |
| Pin-selectable hysteresis (1°C/4°C/8°C) | Allows matching of thermal recovery behavior to mechanical airflow dynamics and acoustic constraints |
| FORCEON override capability | Supports firmware-controlled fan activation during boot, diagnostics, or transient load conditions independent of temperature |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar thermal fan controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM75BIMM-3/NOPB | Temperature sensor only (I²C output); no integrated fan driver or WARN/OT outputs | Requires external MCU and MOSFET for fan control; lacks autonomous overtemperature shutdown | Select when system already includes microcontroller-based thermal management and needs only sensor data |
| ADT7470ARQZ | Multi-channel PWM fan controller with SMBus interface; supports variable-speed control, not on/off switching | Designed for complex multi-fan systems with dynamic speed profiles; higher BOM cost and firmware overhead | Select when precise RPM regulation and telemetry reporting are required, not simple thermal-triggered on/off |

FAQ
What is the exact factory-programmed temperature threshold for MAX6665ASA40+?
The MAX6665ASA40+ has a factory-programmed fan activation threshold of +40°C, with a maximum error of ±3°C across the full operating temperature range (−40°C to +125°C). This value is laser-trimmed during production and does not require external calibration. The MAX6665ASA40+ datasheet specifies that trip-point accuracy is ±1°C typical and ±3°C maximum, making it suitable for applications demanding repeatable thermal response without software compensation.
Can MAX6665ASA40+ drive a 24V fan directly?
Yes, the MAX6665ASA40+ can drive fans powered from +4.5V to +24V, with its FANOUT pin rated for continuous 250mA sink current and absolute maximum voltage of +28V. The internal N-channel MOSFET handles the low-side switching, so the fan's positive terminal connects directly to the 24V rail and its negative terminal to FANOUT. No external transistor or level-shifting circuitry is needed, simplifying design for high-voltage cooling systems.
How do I configure hysteresis on MAX6665ASA40+?
Hysteresis on the MAX6665ASA40+ is configured solely via the HYST pin: leave it unconnected for 1°C, tie it to GND for 4°C, or connect it to VDD for 8°C. This selection determines the temperature drop required below the +40°C threshold before FANOUT turns off. Self-heating due to fan current adds ~1.6°C (for 125mA) or ~7.7°C (for 250mA) to effective hysteresis, so physical placement near heat sources must be considered during layout.
What is the function of the FORCEON pin on MAX6665ASA40+?
The FORCEON pin on MAX6665ASA40+ is an active-low input that overrides the internal thermal control logic: pulling FORCEON low forces FANOUT active regardless of die temperature, while leaving it high enables normal +40°C-triggered operation. This allows external microcontrollers or power sequencers to initiate cooling during boot-up, diagnostics, or transient load events-ensuring airflow before thermal stress accumulates.
Are WARN and OT outputs open-drain on MAX6665ASA40+?
Yes, both WARN and OT outputs on MAX6665ASA40+ are active-low open-drain terminals requiring external pullup resistors (typically 4.7kΩ to VDD or system logic rail). WARN activates at +55°C (i.e., +15°C above the +40°C threshold) and OT at +70°C (+30°C above threshold), each with 2°C hysteresis. Their open-drain structure enables wired-OR connection to shared interrupt lines or compatibility with mixed-voltage logic systems.
