MAX6625/MAX6626
9-Bit/12-Bit Temperature Sensors with
Serial Interface in a SOT23
I2C-Compatible
General Description
The MAX6625/MAX6626 combine a temperature sensor, a
programmable overtemperature alarm, and an I2C-compatible
serial interface into single compact packages. They convert
their die temperatures into digital values using internal analogto-digital converters (ADCs). The result of the conversion is
held in a temperature register, readable at any time through
the serial interface. A dedicated alarm output, OT, activates
if the conversion result exceeds the value programmed in
the high-temperature register. A programmable fault queue
sets the number of faults that must occur before the alarm
activates, preventing spurious alarms in noisy environments.
OT has programmable output polarity and operating modes.
The MAX6625/MAX6626 feature a shutdown mode that
saves power by turning off everything but the power-on
reset and the I2C-compatible interface. Four separate
addresses can be configured with the ADD pin, allowing
up to four MAX6625/MAX6626 devices to be placed on
the same bus. The MAX6625P/MAX6626P OT outputs
are open drain, and the MAX6625R/MAX6626R OT outputs
include internal pullup resistors.
The MAX6625 has a 9-bit internal ADC and can function
as a replacement for the LM75 in most applications. The
MAX6626 has a 12-bit internal ADC. Both devices come
in the space-saving 6-pin SOT23 package, or the 6-pin
TDFN package.

9-Bit/12-Bit Temperature Sensors with

I2C-Compatible
Detailed Description
The MAX6625/MAX6626 continuously convert their die
temperatures into digital values using their self-contained
delta-sigma ADCs. The resulting data is readable at
any time through the I2C-compatible serial interface. A
dedicated alarm output asserts if the result exceeds the
value in the programmable high-temperature register. A
programmable fault queue sets the number of faults that
must occur before the alarm asserts, preventing spurious
alarms in noisy environments. The alarm output polarity is
selectable and deasserts based on either of two operating
modes, comparator or interrupt. In comparator mode, the
OT output deasserts if the temperature conversion result
falls below the programmable low-temperature register
value (subject to the fault queue conditions) providing
adjustable hysteresis. In interrupt mode, the OT output
deasserts when any register is read through the serial
interface. Each conversion cycle takes about 130ms. At
power-up, the temperature register is set to 8000h until
the first conversion is completed.
The MAX6625/MAX6626 feature a shutdown mode,
accessible through the serial interface, that saves power
by turning off everything but the power-on reset and the
I2C-compatible interface. While in shutdown mode, the

temperature register is set to 8000h. The device functions as a slave on the I2C-compatible bus supporting
Write Byte, Write Word, Read Byte, and Read Word
commands. Four separate addresses can be configured
with the ADD pin, allowing up to four MAX6625/MAX6626
devices to be placed on the same bus. Figure 2 shows the
functional diagram of the MAX6625/MAX6626.
Serial interface
I2C-Compatible Operation
The MAX6625/MAX6626 are readable and programmable through their I2C-compatible serial interface. Figures 3
and 4 show the timing details of the clock (SCL) and data
(SDA) signals. The device functions as a slave on the
I2C-compatible bus and supports Write Byte, Write Word,
Read Byte, and Read Word commands.
Addressing
Four separate addresses can be configured with the ADD
pin, allowing up to four MAX6625/MAX6626s to be placed
on the same bus. The address is selected by connecting
the ADD pin to either of four places: GND (address 0), VS
(address 1), SDA (address 2), or SCL (address 3). Table
1 shows the full I2C-compatible address for each state.

Control Registers
Five registers control the operation of the MAX6625/
MAX6626 (Figure 5 and Tables 2 through 7). The pointer
register should be the first addressed and determines
which of the other four registers are acted on. The other
four are the temperature, configuration, high-temperature
(THIGH), and low-temperature (TLOW) registers. The
temperature register is 9 bits for the MAX6625 and 12
bits for the MAX6626, read only, and contains the latest
temperature data. The register length is 16 bits with the
unused bits masked to zero. The digital temperature data
contained in the temperature register is in °C, using a
two’s-complement format with 1 LSB corresponding to
0.5°C for the MAX6625 and 0.0625°C for the MAX6626
(Table 8).
The configuration register is 8 bits, read/write, and contains the fault queue depth, the temperature alarm polarity
select bit, the interrupt mode select bit, and the shutdown
control bit. The high-temperature register is 9 bits, read/
www.maximintegrated.com
write, and contains the value that triggers the overtemperature alarm. The low-temperature register is 9 bits, read/
write, and contains the value to which the temperature
must fall before the overtemperature alarm is deasserted,
if in comparator mode.
Temperature Conversion
An on-chip bandgap reference produces a signal proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT), as well as
the temperature-stable reference voltage necessary for
the analog-to-digital conversion. The PTAT signal is
digitized by the on-board ADC to a resolution of 0.5°C
for the MAX6625, and 0.0625°C for the MAX6626. The
resulting digital value is placed in the temperature register. The temperature conversion runs continuously and
asynchronously from the I2C-compatible interface at a
rate of 133ms per conversion. When the temperature
register is read, the most recently completed conversion
result is provided and the currently active conversion is
aborted. When the bus transaction is finished by an I2Ccompatible stop condition conversions resume.
Overtemperature Alarm
The dedicated overtemperature output pin, OT, has
programmable polarity and two modes: comparator
and interrupt. Polarity and mode are selected through
the configuration register, and alarm activity is governed by a fault queue. Fault queue depth is also
selected through the configuration register (Tables 5
and 6). The MAX6625P/MAX6626P OT output is open

alarm operation and reset details.
Fault Queue
A programmable fault queue on the MAX6625/MAX6626
eliminates spurious alarm activity in noisy environments.
The queue sets the number of consecutive out-of-tolerance temperature readings that must occur before the
OT alarm output is toggled. An out-of-tolerance reading
is above THIGH or below TLOW. The fault queue depth
defaults to one at power-up and may be programmed
to one, two, four, or six consecutive conversions. Any
time the conversion result is in tolerance, and OT is not
asserted, the queue is cleared, even if it contains some
out-of-tolerance counts. Additionally, the fault queue
automatically clears at power-up, in shutdown, or if a
master writes to any of the THIGH, TLOW, or configuration registers. Whenever the fault queue is cleared, OT
is deasserted.
For example, the fault queue is set to four, two consecutive out-of-tolerance readings have occurred, and the
master writes to the TLOW register. The fault queue is
cleared and begins to look for four new consecutive outof-tolerance conversions.
Comparator Mode
In comparator mode, OT is asserted when the number
of consecutive conversions exceeding the value in the
THIGH register is equal to the depth of the fault queue. OT

deasserts when the number of consecutive conversions
less than the value in the TLOW register is equal to the
depth of the fault queue. THIGH minus TLOW is the effective hysteresis of the OT output.
For example, if THIGH is set to +100°C, TLOW is set to
+80°C, and the fault queue depth is set to four, OT does
not assert until four consecutive conversions exceed
+100°C. Then, OT does not deassert until four consecutive conversions are less than +80°C.
Comparator mode allows autonomous clearing of an OT
fault without the intervention of a master and is ideal to
use for driving a cooling fan (Figure 7).
Interrupt Mode
In interrupt mode, the MAX6625/MAX6626 look for a
THIGH or a TLOW fault based on previous fault activity.
The OT pin asserts an alarm for an undertemperature
fault, as well as for an overtemperature fault, depending on certain conditions. If the fault queue is cleared at
power-up, the IC looks for a THIGH fault. After a THIGH
fault, the IC looks for a TLOW fault. After a TLOW fault, the
IC looks for a THIGH fault, and it bounces back and forth
if properly deasserted each time. Once either fault has
occurred, it remains active indefinitely until deasserted by
a read of any register, and the device then begins to look
for a fault of the opposite type. Also, if the fault queue is
cleared, OT is deasserted and the IC once again looks for
a THIGH fault. The activation of any fault is subject to the
depth of the fault queue.

Example 1: If THIGH is set to +100°C, TLOW is set to
+80°C, and the fault queue depth is set to four, OT does
not assert until four consecutive conversions exceed
+100°C. If the temperature is then read through the I2Ccompatible interface, OT deasserts. OT asserts again
when four consecutive conversions are less than +80°C.
Example 2: If THIGH is set to +100°C, TLOW is set to
+80°C, and the fault queue depth is set to four, OT does
not assert until four consecutive conversions exceed
+100°C. If the THIGH register is then changed to +120°C,
OT deasserts and the IC looks for a new THIGH fault.
Shutdown
The MAX6625/MAX6626 offer a low-power shutdown
mode. Enter shutdown mode by programming the shutdown bit of the control register high. In shutdown, the temperature register is set to 8000h and the ADC is turned off,
reducing the device current draw to 1μA (typ). After coming out of shutdown, the temperature register continues to
read 8000h until the first conversion result appears. The
fault queue is held in reset during shutdown.
Thermal Considerations
The MAX6625/MAX6626 supply current is less than
1mA when the I2C-compatible interface is active. When
used to drive high-impedance loads, the devices dissipate negligible power; therefore, the die temperature
is essentially the same as the package temperature.
The key to accurate temperature monitoring is good thermal contact between the MAX6625/MAX6626 package
and the monitored device or circuit. In some applications,
the 6-pin SOT23 package may be small enough to fit
underneath a socketed μP, allowing the device to monitor the μP’s temperature directly. Heat flows in and out of
plastic packages primarily through the leads. Short, wide
copper traces leading to the temperature monitor ensure
that heat transfers quickly and reliably. The rise in die
temperature due to self-heating is given by the following
formula:
ΔTJ = PD x θJA
where PD is the power dissipated by the MAX6625/
MAX6626, and θJA is the package’s thermal resistance.
The typical thermal resistance is +110°C/W for the 6-pin
SOT23 package. To limit the effects of self-heating, minimize the output currents. For example, if the MAX6625/
MAX6626 sink 4mA with the maximum OT VL specification of 0.8V, an additional 3.2mW of power is dissipated
within the IC. This corresponds to a 0.35°C rise in the die
temperature.
