MAX1946 - Single USB Switch

General Description

The MAX1946 single current-limited switch with autoreset supplies a guaranteed 500mA load in accordance with USB specifications.

The MAX1946 operates from a 2.7V to 5.5V input supply and consumes only 40µA of quiescent current when operating and only 3µA in shutdown.

Key Features

  • to protect the USB port. Built-in thermal-overload protection turns off the switch when the die temperature exceeds +160°C. Accurate internal current-limiting circuitry protects the input supply against both overload and shortcircuit conditions. An open-drain fault signal, (FAULT), notifies the microprocessor (µP) when a thermal overload, current-limit, undervoltage lockout (UVLO), or short-circuit fault occurs. A 20ms fault-blanking feature enables the circuit to ignore momentary faults, such a.

19-2550; Rev 3; 2/10 www.DataSheet4U.com Single USB Switch with Autoreset and Fault Blanking in Tiny TDFN General Description The MAX1946 single current-limited switch with autoreset supplies a guaranteed 500mA load in accordance with USB specifications. The MAX1946 operates from a 2.7V to 5.5V input supply and consumes only 40µA of quiescent current when operating and only 3µA in shutdown. Selectable active-high/active-low control logic and shutdown control provide additional flexibility. An autoreset feature latches the switch off in the event of a short circuit, saving system power. The switch reactivates upon removal of the shorted condition. The MAX1946 provides several safety features to protect the USB port.
