200mA/250mA/300mA Current-Limit Switches
General Description
The MAX4789鈥揗AX4794 family of switches feature
internal current limiting to prevent damage to host
devices due to faulty load conditions. These analog
switches have a low 0.2鈩?on-resistance and operate
from 2.3V to 5.5V input voltage range. They are avail-
able with guaranteed 200mA, 250mA, and 300mA cur-
rent limits, making them ideal for SDIO and other load
switching applications.
When the switch is on and a load is connected to the
port, a guaranteed blanking time of 14ms ensures that
the transient voltages settle down. If after this blanking
time the load current is greater than the current limit,
the MAX4789, MAX4791, and MAX4793 enter a latch-
off state where the switch is turned off and
FLAG
is
issued to the microprocessor. The switch can be turned
on again by cycling the power or the ON pin.
The MAX4790, MAX4792, and MAX4794 have an
autoretry feature where the switch turns off after the
blanking time and then continuously checks to see if
the overload condition is present. The switch remains
on after the overload condition disappears.
The MAX4789鈥揗AX4794 are available in 6-pin thin QFN
and tiny space-saving 4-pin SOT143 packages. The
MAX4789/MAX4791/MAX4793 are also available in a
tiny 5-pin SOT23 package. For lower current current-limit-
ing switches, refer to the MAX4785鈥揗AX4788 data sheet.
