Detailed Description
The MAX14527/MAX14528 overvoltage protection
devices feature a low R
ON
internal FET and protect low-
voltage systems against voltage faults up to +28V. If
the input voltage exceeds the overvoltage threshold,
the internal FET is turned off to prevent damage to the
protected components. The 15ms debounce time pre-
vents false turn-on of the internal FET during startup.
Device Operation
The MAX14527/MAX14528 have timing logic that
controls the turn-on of the internal FET. If V
IN
<
V
OVLO_THRESH
, the internal charge pump is enabled.
The charge-pump startup, after a 15ms debounce
delay, turns on the internal FET (see the
Functional
Diagram
). At any time, if V
IN
rises above V
OVLO_
THRESH
, OUT is disconnected from IN.

NAME
FUNCTION
1, 2
IN
Voltage Input. Bypass IN with a 1µF ceramic capacitor as close as possible to the device to obtain ±15kV
Human Body Model (HBM) ESD protection. Connect all the IN pins together for proper operation. IN is
protected to ±2kV HBM when IN is not bypassed with a capacitor to GND.
3
OVLO
External OVLO Adjustment. Connect OVLO to GND when using the internal threshold. Connect a resistor-
divider to OVLO to set a different OVLO threshold; this external resistor-divider is completely independent
from the internal threshold.
4, 5
I.C.
Internally Connected. Do not connect. Leave I.C. unconnected.
6
GND
Ground
7, 8
OUT
Output Voltage. Output of internal switch. Connect all the OUT outputs together for proper operation.

EP
Exposed Pad. Connect exposed pad to ground. For enhanced thermal dissipation, connect EP to a copper
area as large as possible. Do not use EP as a sole ground connection.
