MAX5943 Datasheet | Maxim Integrated

19-3378; Rev 0; 8/04 .. FireWire Current Limiter and Low-Drop ORing Switch Controller General Description The MAX5943 is a fully integrated power-management IC for FireWire® applications. This device controls two external power n-channel MOSFETs to regulate current from the input power supply to the load and performs low-voltage-drop, power-supply ORing. The MAX5943 operates over a 7.5V to 37V input range and provides inrush and output current limit in addition to a diode ORing function suitable for FireWire applications. The MAX5943 allows the safe insertion and removal of FireWire peripherals into a live FireWire port by providing inrush current control and an output...
