MAXIM MAX6501/MAX6502/MAX6503/MAX6504 Temperature Switches Datasheet
The MAX6501 through MAX6504 are fully integrated temperature switches that assert a logic signal when their die temperature crosses a factory-programmed threshold. Operating from a +2.7V to +5.5V supply, these devices feature two on-chip voltage references and a comparator, requiring no external components. They typically consume 30µA of supply current.

What is the typical supply current?
The devices typically consume 30uA of supply current.
Do these switches require external components?
No, they require no external components and are fully integrated.
How is hysteresis selected on these temperature switches?
Connect the HYST pin to GND for +2 °C hysteresis or to VCC for +10 °C hysteresis.
What are the output configurations for MAX6501 versus MAX6502?
MAX6501 (and MAX6503) have an active‑low open‑drain output, while MAX6502 (and MAX6504) have an active‑high push‑pull output.
