GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MAX16010–MAX16014 is a family of ultra-small, lowpower, overvoltage protection circuits for high-voltage, high-transient systems such as those found in automotive, telecom, and industrial applications. These devices operate over a wide 5.5V to 72V supply voltage range, making them also suitable for other applications such as battery stacks, notebook computers, and servers. The MAX16010 and MAX16011 offer two independent comparators for monitoring both undervoltage and overvoltage conditions. These comparators offer opendrain outputs capable of handling voltages up to 72V. The MAX16010 features complementary enable inputs (EN/EN), while The MAX16013 and MAX16014 are overvoltage protection circuits that are capable of driving two p-channel MOSFETs to prevent reverse-battery and overvoltage conditions. One MOSFET (P1) eliminates the need for external diodes, thus minimizing the input voltage drop. The second MOSFET (P2) isolates the load or regulates the output voltage during an overvoltage condition.
