Datasheet
General Description
The MAX1823 is a dual, current-limited switch with
autoreset specifically made for USB applications. The
autoreset feature latches the switch off if the output is
shorted, saving system power. The switch reactivates
when the short circuit is removed. Each channel is guar-
anteed to supply 720mA and meet USB specifications.
Low quiescent supply current (50µA) and standby current
(3µA) conserve battery power in portable applications.
The MAX1823 has multiple safety features to ensure
that the USB port is protected. Built-in thermal-overload
protection limits power dissipation and junction temper-
ature. Accurate internal current-limiting circuitry pro-
tects the input supply against both overload and
short-circuit conditions. Independent fault signals
(FAULTA and FAULTB) notify the microprocessor (µP)
when a thermal-overload, current-limit, undervoltage-
lockout (UVLO), or short-circuit fault occurs. A 20ms
fault-blanking feature ignores momentary faults, such
as those caused when hot swapping a capacitive load,
preventing false alarms to the host system. The
MAX1823A/MAX1823B also block reverse current (cur-
rent from OUT_ to IN_) while in shutdown.
The MAX1823 is available in a space-saving 10-pin
µMAX package. The MAX1823/MAX1823A are enabled
with an active-low signal, and the MAX1823B/MAX1823H
are enabled with an active-high signal. For a single ver-
sion of this device, refer to the MAX1946 data sheet. For
a triple version, refer to the MAX1940 data sheet.
