Datasheet

General Description
The MAX6639 monitors its own temperature and one
external diode-connected transistor or the temperatures
of two external diode-connected transistors, typically
available in CPUs, FPGAs, or GPUs. The 2-wire serial
interface accepts standard System Management Bus
(SMBus) write byte, read byte, send byte, and receive
byte commands to read the temperature data and pro-
gram the alarm thresholds. Temperature data can be
read at any time over the SMBus, and three program-
mable alarm outputs can be used to generate inter-
rupts, throttle signals, or overtemperature shutdown
signals.
The temperature data is also used by the internal dual-
PWM fan-speed controller to adjust the speed of up to
two cooling fans, thereby minimizing noise when the
system is running cool, but providing maximum cooling
when power dissipation increases. Speed control is
accomplished by tachometer feedback from the fan, so
that the speed of the fan is controlled, not just the PWM
duty cycle. Accuracy of speed measurement is ±4%.
The MAX6639 is available in 16-pin QSOP and 16-pin thin
QFN 5mm x 5mm packages. It operates from 3.0V to 3.6V
and consumes just 500µA of supply current.
