MAX5968 - Circuit-Breaker And Ideal Diode Controller

General Description

The MAX5968 soft-switch and ideal diode controller protects systems with redundant DC-DC converter modules against failure of the converter by controlling external n-channel MOSFETs at the input and output of the converter.

Key Features

  • VariableSpeed/BiLevelK input circuit-breaker protection. The MAX5968 also integrates a 10-bit ADC that monitors converter input current, load voltage, and output MOSFET forward voltage. An analog input (ADCIN) is provided to monitor a temperature signal from the associated converter. The MAX5968 features two 10-bit circular buffers that contain a history of the 50 most recent input current and output load voltage digital conversion results. This data helps to diagnose and troubleshoot converter.

itoring Functions General Description The MAX5968 soft-switch and ideal diode controller protects systems with redundant DC-DC converter modules against failure of the converter by controlling external n-channel MOSFETs at the input and output of the converter. Input short-circuit and overload current protection is provided by means of a current-sense amplifier connected to a sense resistor that resides at the source of the external protection MOSFET. If a failure occurs at the input of the associated converter, the MAX5968 protects the input supply by pulling the gate of the input protection MOSFET low and disconnecting t
