Description
The MAX14626 current loop protector
Features
- a currentlimit switch to prevent damage to the sensor devices due to faulty current loop conditions. The current-limit switch features a 25Ω (typ) on-resistance and operates from a +2.3V to +36V input voltage range. The accurate current limit is set to 30mA, making the part ideal for protecting the sensor reading devices. The MAX14626 handles an overcurrent event in a continuous current-limit mode. Additional safety features include thermal shutdown to prevent overheating and reverse-input block.
