MAX14691–MAX14693
High-Accuracy, Adjustable Power Limiter
General Description
The MAX14691–MAX14693 adjustable overvoltage,
undervoltage, and overcurrent protection devices guard
systems against overcurrent faults in addition to positive
overvoltage and reverse-voltage faults. When used with
an optional external p-channel MOSFET, the devices
also protect downstream circuitry from voltage faults up
to ±60V. The devices feature a low, 31mΩ, on-resistance
integrated FET.
During startup, the devices are designed to charge large
capacitances on the output in a continuous mode for
applications where large reservoir capacitors are used
on the inputs to downstream devices. Additionally, the
devices feature a dual-stage, current-limit mode in which
the current is continuously limited to 1x, 1.5x, and 2x
the programmed limit, respectively, for a short time after
startup. This enables faster charging of large loads during
startup.
The MAX14691–MAX14693 also feature reverse-current
and overtemperature protection. The devices are avail-
able in a 20-pin (5mm x 5mm) TQFN package and oper-
ate over the -40ºC to 125ºC temperature range.
