Micropower temperature switch for threshold monitoring
The MAX6502UKP075 is a micropower temperature switch from Analog Devices, designed to assert a logic output when the die temperature crosses a factory-trimmed threshold. It draws minimal quiescent current, making it suitable for thermal monitoring in battery-powered or always-on systems where the supply budget is tight. The part is listed under the Microcontrollers & Processors category, but its function is a dedicated temperature switch — it monitors its own local temperature and drives an open-drain output, not a general-purpose MCU core.
Active production and sourcing posture
Buyers with RoHS-10 exemption requirements or legacy BOMs that allow lead-bearing solder should confirm their assembly process can accept this status before specifying the part.
Package and supply chain fit
Shipped in Bulk packaging — no reel or tape-and-reel carrier. This suits prototype builds, lab evaluation, or low-volume production where pick-and-place feeders are not required. For higher volumes, check with the supplier whether tape-and-reel packaging is available under a different order code.
