MAX6668/MAX6670
General Description
The MAX6668/MAX6670 remote-junction thermal
switches with an internal power transistor drive a cooling fan rated for supply voltages up to +12V and
250mA. These devices measure the temperature of an
external P-N junction (typically a diode-connected transistor) and turn on the fan power switch when the
remote temperature rises above a factory-programmed
threshold. Self-contained and requiring no software
development, the MAX6668/MAX6670 are simple
“drop-in” fan-control solutions for a variety of systems.
The MAX6670 features an open-drain WARN output
that goes active when the remote temperature exceeds
the factory-programmed fan activation threshold by
+15°C. The MAX6670 features an open-drain OT output
that goes active when the remote temperature exceeds
the factory-programmed threshold by +30°C. The
MAX6668/MAX6670 provide a fan-control input,
FORCEON, that allows the fan to be driven externally,
regardless of temperature.
Available temperature thresholds range from +40°C to
+75°C in 5°C increments. Hysteresis is preset to 8°C on
the MAX6668 or pin selectable to 4°C, 8°C, or 12°C
using a three-level logic input on the MAX6670.
Temperature threshold accuracy is ±1°C (typ) and
±2.2°C (max) for remote-junction temperatures from
+40°C to +75°C.
The MAX6668/MAX6670 operate from a +3V to +3.6V
power supply, and are specified over the automotive
temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). The MAX6668 is
offered in an 8-pin µMAX package and the MAX6670 is
available in a space-saving 10-pin µMAX package.

Temperature Warning Output. WARN is an open-drain output that goes low when
the sensed junction temperature is 15°C higher than the fan trip threshold.
Detailed Description
Overtemperature Alarm Outputs
The MAX6668/MAX6670 are simple fan controllers/drivers that turn on an internal power transistor when the
sensed temperature of an external P-N junction
exceeds a factory-set threshold. By connecting a small
(up to +12V/250mA nominal) cooling fan to FANOUT, a
simple on/off fan-control system is created. Do not connect the fan to a power supply of higher than 12V nominal, 15V maximum.
WARN Output (MAX6670 Only)
WARN is an active-low, open-drain digital output that
indicates when the external P-N junction’s temperature
exceeds 15°C above the fan trip threshold. The WARN
output serves as a warning that the system temperature
has continued to rise well above the fan activation temperature.
FANOUT Driver and FORCEON Controller
FANOUT Fan-Driver Output
FANOUT is an open-drain output that sinks greater than
250mA of current to turn on the fan, either when the fan
trip threshold is exceeded or the fan is forced on by driving FORCEON low.
FORCEON Fan-Control Input
Drive FORCEON low to turn on the fan when the
MAX6670’s remote-sensing junction temperature is less
than the fan trip threshold temperature. This overrides
the internal control circuitry and allows for an external
device to activate the fan.
4
OT Output (MAX6670 Only)
OT is an active-low, open-drain digital output that indicates when the external P-N junction’s temperature
exceeds 30°C above the fan trip threshold. OT serves
as a thermal shutdown output to the system in case of
excessive temperature rise.
Hysteresis Input
The temperature comparator has hysteresis to prevent
small temperature changes near the threshold temperature from causing the fan to turn on and off repeatedly
over short periods of time. The FANOUT pin goes
active and powers the fan when the external P-N junction’s temperature exceeds the factory-programmed

Applications Information
Remote-Diode Selection
The MAX6668/MAX6670 directly measure the die temperature of CPUs and other ICs that have on-board temperature-sensing diodes (see Typical Operating Circuit)
or they can measure the temperature of a discrete
diode-connected transistor. For best accuracy, the discrete transistor should be a small-signal device with its
collector and base connected together. Several satisfactory discrete sensing transistors are shown in Table 1.
The sensing transistor must be a small-signal type with
a relatively high forward voltage. Otherwise, the DXP
input voltage range may be violated. The forward voltage at the highest expected temperature must be
greater than 0.25V at 10µA, and at the lowest expected
temperature, forward voltage must be less than 0.95V
at 100µA. Do not use large power transistors. Also,
ensure that the base resistance is less than 100Ω. Tight
specifications for forward current gain (50 < BF < 150,
for example) indicate that the manufacturer has good
process controls and that the transistors have consistent VBE characteristics.
Noise-Filtering Capacitor
In noisy environments, high-frequency noise can be
attenuated using an external 2200pF capacitor located
at the DXP and DXN pins. Larger capacitor values may
be used for additional filtering, but do not exceed
3300pF; excessive capacitance increases error. Figure
2 shows the recommended DXP/DXN PC traces.
Bypassing and Layout
The location of the remote-sensing junction in the system affects the MAX6668/MAX6670s’ operation. When
using a discrete temperature-sensing transistor, place
the sensing junction close to major heat-generating
components, such as a high-speed CPU or a power
device.

To minimize noise and other errors, follow the guidelines below:
1) Place the MAX6668/MAX6670 as close as possible to
the remote diode. In a noisy environment, such as a
computer motherboard, this distance can be 10cm to
20cm (typ) or more as long as the worst noise
sources (such as CRTs, clock generators, memory
buses, and ISA/PCI buses) are avoided. In general,
minimize the distance to the remote-sensing junction.
2) Do not route the DXP/DXN traces next to the deflection coils of a CRT. Also, do not route the traces
across a fast memory bus, which can introduce
+30°C error or more, even with good filtering.
3) Route the DXP and DXN traces in parallel and in
close proximity to each other, away from any highvoltage traces, such as +12VDC. Avoid leakage currents from PC board contamination, since a 20MΩ
leakage path from DXP to GND causes about +1°C
error.
4) Connect guard traces to GND on either side of the
DXP/DXN traces (Figure 2). With guard traces in
place, routing near high-voltage traces is no longer
an issue.
5) Route through as few vias and crossunders as possible to minimize copper/solder thermocouple effects.
6) Use wide traces where possible. Narrow traces are
more inductive and tend to pick up radiated noise.
7) Do not use copper as an EMI shield. Only ferrous
materials such as steel work well. Placing a copper
ground plane between the DXP/DXN traces and
other traces carrying high-frequency noise signals
does not help reduce EMI.
The MAX6668/MAX6670s’ PGND is the ground return
for the fan driver. Bypass V DD to GND with a 1µF
capacitor located as close to VDD as possible. Add
additional bypass capacitors for long VDD and GND
lines.
_______________________________________________________________________________________

MAX6668/MAX6670
trip temperature. As the cooling fan operates, the circuit board temperature should decrease, which causes
the external P-N junction’s temperature to decrease.
When the P-N junction’s temperature is equal to the trip
threshold minus the hysteresis, the FANOUT pin turns
the fan off, removing power from the fan. For the
MAX6670, HYST is a three-level logic input for controlling the fan-drive comparator’s hysteresis. Connect
HYST to GND to select 4°C hysteresis, to VDD to select
12°C hysteresis, or leave floating to select 8°C hysteresis. The MAX6668 has a built-in hysteresis of 8°C. This
allows the amount of hysteresis to be matched to the
cooling and noise requirements of the system. Figure 1
shows the temperature trip threshold hysteresis.
