ON Semiconductor MAX6502UKP115-T Temperature Switch

The MAX6502UKP115-T from ON Semiconductor is a highly precise, programmable temperature switch designed to maintain system integrity by monitoring temperature thresholds in a variety of electronic applications. This compact and efficient component is housed in a space-saving SOT-23 package, making it ideal for applications where space is at a premium.

With a factory-set threshold temperature of 115°C, the MAX6502UKP115-T provides an active-high logic output when the monitored temperature exceeds the set point. This temperature switch does not require any external components, which simplifies design and reduces the overall bill of materials. Its low power consumption makes it suitable for battery-powered devices, while its wide operating voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V ensures compatibility with various circuits.

The MAX6502UKP115-T features a unique one-shot mode that prevents the output from oscillating when the temperature hovers around the threshold. This ensures a clean and reliable signal for the system to take appropriate action, such as enabling a cooling fan or shutting down the system to prevent overheating.

ON Semiconductor's commitment to quality means that the MAX6502UKP115-T is designed to meet stringent reliability standards. The temperature switch is robust against electrostatic discharge (ESD) events and is characterized for operation over a wide temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, making it suitable for harsh environments.

Applications for the MAX6502UKP115-T are diverse and include thermal management in computing devices, consumer electronics, industrial control systems, and portable equipment. Its quick response time and high accuracy ensure that it can effectively protect sensitive components from the dangers of excessive heat.

In summary, the MAX6502UKP115-T temperature switch from ON Semiconductor is a reliable, accurate, and easy-to-use solution for over-temperature protection in a wide range of electronic applications. Its small footprint, low power consumption, and robust design make it an excellent choice for designers looking to enhance the safety and longevity of their products.
