Remote-Junction Temperature-Controlled
Fan-Speed Regulator with SMBus Interface
MAX6660
General Description
The MAX6660 is a remote temperature sensor and fan-
speed regulator that provides a complete fan-control
solution. The remote temperature sensor is typically a
common-collector PNP, such as a substrate PNP of a
microprocessor, or a diode-connected transistor, typi-
cally a low-cost, easily mounted 2N3904 NPN type or
2N3906 PNP type.
The device also incorporates a closed-loop fan con-
troller that regulates fan speed with tachometer feed-
back. The MAX6660 compares temperature data to a
fan threshold temperature and gain setting, both pro-
grammed over the SMBus™ by the user. The result is
automatic fan control that is proportional to the remote-
junction temperature. The temperature feedback loop
can be broken at any time for system control over the
speed of the fan.
Fan speed is voltage controlled as opposed to PWM
controlled, greatly reducing acoustic noise and maxi-
mizing fan reliability. An on-chip power device drives
fans rated up to 250mA.
Temperature data is updated every 0.25s and is read-
able at any time over the SMBus interface. The
MAX6660 is accurate to 1°C (max) when the remote
junction is between +60°C to +100°C. Data is formatted
as a 10-bit + sign word with 0.125°C resolution.
The MAX6660 is specified for -40°C to +125°C and is
available in a 16-pin QSOP package.

Guaranteed by design. Not production tested.
The MAX6660 includes an SMBus timeout, which resets the interface whenever SMBCLK or SMBDATA has been low for
greater than 25ms. This feature can be disabled by setting bit 2 of the Fan Gain register at 16h/1Bh to a 1. When the timeout
is disabled, the minimum clock frequency is DC.
Note 5:
Note that a transition must internally provide at least a hold time in order to bridge the undefined region (300ns max) of
SMBCLK’s falling edge.

FUNCTION
MAX6660
Detailed Description
The MAX6660 is a remote temperature sensor and fan
controller with an SMBus interface. The MAX6660 con-
verts the temperature of a remote-junction temperature
sensor to a 10-bit + sign digital word. The remote tem-
perature sensor can be a diode-connected transistor,
such as a 2N3906, or the type normally found on the
substrate of many processors’ ICs. The temperature
information is provided to the fan-speed regulator and
is read over the SMBus interface. The temperature
data, through the SMBus, can be read as a 10-bit +
sign two’s complement word with a 0.125°C resolution
(LSB) and is updated every 0.25s.
The MAX6660 incorporates a closed-loop fan controller
that regulates fan speed with tachometer feedback. The
temperature information is compared to a threshold and
range setting, which enables the MAX6660 to automati-
cally set fan speed proportional to temperature. Full con-
trol of these modes is available, including being able to
open either the thermal control loop or the fan control
loop. Figure 1 shows a simplified block diagram.
rent is steered through the remote diode, where the for-
ward voltage is measured, and the temperature is com-
puted. The DXN pin is the cathode of the remote diode
and is biased at 0.65V above ground by an internal
diode to set up the ADC inputs for a differential mea-
surement. The worst-case DXP-DXN differential input
voltage range is 0.25V to 0.95V. Excess resistance in
series with the remote diode causes about +1/2°C error
per ohm. Likewise, 200mV of offset voltage forced on
DXP-DXN causes approximately 1°C error.
A/D Conversion Sequence
A conversion sequence is initiated every 250ms in the
free-running autoconvert mode (bit 6 = 0 in the
Configuration register) or immediately by writing a One-
Shot command. The result of the new measurement is
available after the end of conversion. The results of the
previous conversion sequence are still available when
the ADC is converting.
Remote-Diode Selection
Temperature accuracy depends on having a good-
quality, diode-connected small-signal transistor.
Accuracy has been experimentally verified for all
devices listed in Table 1. The MAX6660 can also direct-
ADC
The ADC is an averaging type that integrates over a
60ms period with excellent noise rejection. A bias cur-
