Ideal Diode, Reverse-Battery, and Overvoltage Protection

Switch/Limiter Controllers with External MOSFETs

MAX16914/MAX16915

General Description

The MAX16914/MAX16915 low-quiescent-current over-
voltage and reverse-battery protection controllers are
designed for automotive and industrial systems that
must tolerate high-voltage transient and fault conditions.
These conditions include load dumps, voltage dips, and
reversed input voltages. The controllers monitor the input
voltage on the supply line and control two external pFETs
to isolate the load from the fault condition. The external
pFETs are turned on when the input supply exceeds
4.5V and stay on up to the programmed overvoltage
threshold. During high-voltage fault conditions, the con-
trollers regulate the output voltage to the set upper
threshold voltage (MAX16915), or switch to high resis-
tance (MAX16914) for the duration of the overvoltage
transient to prevent damage to the downstream circuitry.
The overvoltage event is indicated through an active-low,
open-drain output, OV.
The reverse-battery pFET behaves as an ideal diode,
minimizing the voltage drop when forward biased. Under
reverse bias conditions, the pFET is turned off, prevent-
ing a downstream tank capacitor from being discharged
into the source.
Shutdown control turns off the IC completely, discon-
necting the input from the output and disconnecting
TERM from its external resistor-divider to reduce the
quiescent current to a minimum.

Both devices are available in a 10-pin FMAX
