TC6501/2/3/4
General Description
The TC6501/2/3/4 are SOT-23 temperature switches
that require no external components and are available
with factory-programmed temperature thresholds. A
choice of factory-trimmed temperature trip points are
also available. Pin-selectable hysteresis of +2°C or
+10°C allows flexibility to the design of the application.
These parts typically consume only 17 µA of current
and operate over the entire -55°C to +135°C
temperature range, while offering accuracies of ±0.5°C
(typ).
The TC6501 and TC6503 have an open-drain, active-
low output, which targets microcontroller reset control.
The TC6502 and TC6504 have a CMOS, active-high
output designed to drive the logic level MOSFET that
turns on a fan or heater element.
The TC6501/TC6502 are designed for hot temperature
monitoring (+35°C to +125°C). These devices assert a
logic signal when the temperature goes above the
threshold. The TC6503/TC6504 are optimized for cold
temperature monitoring (-45°C to +15°C) and assert a
logic signal when the temperature goes below the
threshold.
The TC6501/2/3/4 are offered with five standard tem-
perature thresholds. Available in 5-Pin SOT-23A pack-
ages, these parts are ideal for applications requiring
high integration, small size, low power and low installed
cost.

TC6502
3.1
Ground
3.5
Connect the device ground pins directly to the PCB
ground and minimize the length of the connection. The
thermal resistance to the die is at a minimum at Pin 2.

(TC6502) (T
OVER
)
3.2
Hysteresis Input (HYST)
The voltage at T
OVER
is equal to a logic-high level if the
sensor detects a temperature greater than the factory-
programmed threshold temperature.
Either 2°C (GND) or 10°C (V
CC
) of hysteresis is
selected by connecting HYST to GND or V
CC
.
3.6

3.3
Supply Input (V

A 100 pF or greater decoupling capacitor from V

to
GND is recommended.
3.4
Open-Drain, Active-Low Output
(TC6501) (T
OVER
)
The voltage at the T
UNDER
pin is equal to a logic-low
level if the sensor detects a temperature that is less
than the factory-programmed threshold temperature.
Because this is an open-drain output, an external pull-
up resistor is required (a 100 kΩ pull-up resistor is
recommended). The voltage on this pin can be higher
than V
CC
, though the voltage must not exceed the
absolute maximum input voltage of 7.0V
The voltage at the T
OVER
pin is equal to a logic-low
level if the sensor detects a temperature that is greater
than the factory-programmed threshold temperature.
Because this is an open-drain output, an external pull-
up resistor is required (a 100 kΩ pull-up resistor is
recommended). The voltage on this pin can be higher

(TC6504) (T

)
The voltage at T
UNDER
is equal to a logic-high level if
the sensor detects a temperature less than the factory-
programmed threshold temperature.
