3.3.1.5. Application solution 5 – MM3488 solution

The MM3488 (MITSuMI) is a temperature switch IC that

changes the IC output level from “low” to “high” when the

temperature around the IC reaches the detection tempera-

ture. With the hysteresis function (5 °C, 10 °C, 15 °C), the IC

output level returns to “low” when the ambient temperature

drops to the temperature hysteresis selected after detection.

Detection temperature Tset

TH

can be selected in steps of

1.0 °C between 60 and 90 °C with rank expansion (available

as factory-trimmed value), with a detection temperature

accuracy of ±2.0 °C.

The very-small-outline package SSON-4B allows saving

space on the LED module, compensating for the higher

overall number of components with respect to the previous

solutions.

A noise rejection time t

noise

between 250 and 500 µs allows

debouncing the temperature signal, preventing unstable out-

put switching caused by possible noise.

In fi gure 21, a reference schematic is shown. Since the maxi-

mum operating voltage is limited to 5.5 V, a voltage regulator

is needed in order to supply the MM3488 via the LEDset

interface. The simplest solution is to clamp the supply volt-

age with a Zener diode (D

1

). In order to ensure a suffi cient

reverse current to the diode, a proper value of R

1

has to be

selected. A by-pass capacitor (C

1

) between pin 4 and ground

(pin 2) is recommended.

Since the IC output is only an open drain, a pull-up resistor

is needed.
