SMBus temperature switch — what it does
The MAX6695AUB-T is an SMBus temperature switch from Analog Devices, designed to monitor local or remote temperature and assert an alert when a programmed threshold is crossed. The part is listed as Active in the lifecycle, so it remains a current-production choice for new designs — no last-time-buy scramble.
Because the part is Active, there is no LTB clock running; it can be specified into production without an immediate end-of-life risk.
