MAX5079 Datasheet (Maxim Integrated Products)

MAX5079, ORing MOSFET Controller

The MAX5079 ORing MOSFET controller replaces ORing diodes in high-reliability redundant, parallel-connected power supplies.

Despite their low forward-voltage drop, ORing Schottky diodes cause excessive power dissipation at high currents.

The MAX5079 allows for the use of low-on-resistance n-channel

MAX5079 Features

* include an OVP flag to facilitate shutdown of a failed power supply due to an overvoltage condition, and a PGOOD signal that indicates if VIN is either below the undervoltage lockout or VBUS is in an overvoltage condition. The MAX5079 operates over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range and is availab
