MAX6602 is a five-channel temperature monitor from Maxim Integrated. It can monitor its own temperature as well as the temperatures of four external thermal diode-connected transistors. All temperature channels have programmable alert thresholds. Channels 1 and 4 also have programmable overtemperature thresholds. When the measured temperature of a channel exceeds the respective threshold, a status bit is set in one of the status registers. Two open-drain outputs, OVERT and ALERT, assert corresponding to these bits in the status register. The 2-wire serial interface supports the standard system management bus (SMBus™) protocols: write byte, read byte, send byte, and receive byte for reading the temperature data and programming the alarm thresholds. The MAX6602 is specified for a -40°C to +125°C operating temperature range and is available in a 16-pin TSSOP package.
The MAX6602 precision multichannel temperature monitor provides one local and up to four remote diode‑connected temperature‑sensing channels. Each channel has programmable alert thresholds, and channels 1 and 4 also support programmable over‑temperature limits. The device communicates via a standard 2‑wire SMBus interface and offers open‑drain ALERT and OVERT outputs for interrupt or shutdown functions.
The part operates from –40 °C to +125 °C, is supplied at 3.0 V–5.5 V, and is available in a 16‑pin TSSOP package. It includes software and hardware standby modes to reduce power consumption, and detailed configuration registers for alert masking, conversion control, and fault detection.
