General Description
The MAX4995A/MAX4995AF/MAX4995AL/MAX4995B/
MAX4995C programmable current-limit switches feature
internal current limiting to prevent damage to host
devices due to faulty load conditions. These analog
switches feature a low 130mΩ (typ) on-resistance and
operate from a +1.7V to +5.5V input voltage range. The
current limit is adjustable from 50mA to 600mA, making
these devices ideal for SDIO (secure digital input/out-
put) and other load-switching applications.
Each device in the family handles an overcurrent event
differently depending on the option selected. The
MAX4995A/MAX4995AF/MAX4995AL go into an autoretry
mode, the MAX4995B latches off the switch, and the
MAX4995C places the device in a continuous current-limit
mode. Additional safety features include thermal shut-
down to prevent overheating and reverse-current blocking
to prevent current from being driven back into the source.
The MAX4995A/MAX4995AF/MAX4995AL/MAX4995B/
MAX4995C are available in a tiny 10-pin, 1.4mm x 1.8mm
UTQFN package and operate over the -40°C to +125°C
extended temperature range.
