PLASTIC ENCAPSULATED DEVICES The MAX6656MEE is a temperature sensor and fan-speed controller manufactured by Maxim Integrated (now part of Analog Devices). Below are its key specifications, descriptions, and features based on factual information:
### **Specifications:**
- **Manufacturer:** Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices)
- **Part Number:** MAX6656MEE
- **Package:** 16-QSOP (QSOP-16)
- **Operating Voltage:** 3.0V to 5.5V
- **Temperature Measurement Range:** -55°C to +125°C
- **Accuracy:** ±1°C (typical) from +60°C to +100°C
- **Temperature Resolution:** 1°C
- **Fan Control:** PWM output for fan-speed regulation
- **Interface:** I²C/SMBus-compatible

### **Descriptions:**
The MAX6656MEE is a high-precision digital temperature sensor with an integrated fan-speed controller. It monitors the temperature of a remote diode-connected transistor (e.g., CPU diode) or its own internal sensor and adjusts fan speed via PWM output to maintain optimal thermal conditions. It communicates with a host system via the I²C/SMBus interface.
### **Features:**
- **Dual Temperature Monitoring:** Measures remote diode (e.g., CPU) and internal temperature.
- **PWM Fan Control:** Adjusts fan speed based on temperature readings.
- **Programmable Thresholds:** User-configurable temperature limits for fan control and alarms.
- **SMBus/I²C Interface:** Allows communication with a microcontroller or host system.
- **Overtemperature Alarm:** Configurable alert output for critical conditions.
- **Low Power Consumption:** Suitable for battery-powered or energy-efficient systems.
- **Compact Package:** 16-QSOP for space-constrained applications.
