MAX6664AEE

Thermal Management Overview

The MAX6664AEE+ is a board-mount temperature sensor and PWM fan controller manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features an 11-bit resolution digital output with ±1°C accuracy across a -40°C to +125°C operating range. The device supports 2-Wire, I2C, and SMBus interfaces and operates on a 3V to 5.5V supply voltage. Packaged in a 16-pin QSOP, it includes remote junction monitoring capabilities and a shutdown function for thermal management applications.

Thermal Management Feature Summary

• Integrates thermal monitoring with pulse-width modulation fan control functionality
• Provides high-accuracy digital temperature sensing via standard serial communication protocols
• Supports remote junction temperature measurement for precise thermal regulation

Thermal Management Applications

• Server and storage system thermal management
• Industrial equipment cooling control
• Telecommunications infrastructure temperature monitoring

Thermal Management Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix designation, as the provided model lacks the '+' symbol often indicating RoHS compliance in Maxim product lines. Confirm availability status through authorized distributors, as supply constraints may affect lead times. Ensure the QSOP-16 package matches your PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement decisions.

Thermal Management Selection Notes

Select this component when simultaneous temperature monitoring and active fan speed control are required within a single integrated circuit. The 11-bit resolution offers sufficient precision for most industrial and commercial thermal applications. Verify interface compatibility with your host microcontroller or system bus before integration.

Thermal Management Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX666x series of thermal monitors and fan controllers from Analog Devices/Maxim Integrated. These devices are designed to replace discrete thermal management solutions, reducing board space and complexity. The series typically includes variants with different pin counts and interface options to suit various system architectures.

Thermal Management Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the MAX666x family, such as the MAX6663 or MAX6661, which share similar functionalities but may differ in pin configuration or interface support. Ensure any replacement maintains compatibility with the existing QSOP-16 footprint and electrical specifications.
