MAX14727/MAX14728/
MAX14731
Dual-Input, Bidirectional Overvoltage
Protector with Automatic Path Control
General Description
Benefits and Features
● Protects Portable Devices with Dual-Input Power
• Wide Operating Input-Voltage Protection from 3V
to 28V
The
MAX14727/MAX14728/MAX14731
provide
protection to valuable consumer circuits against two
positive voltage faults up to +28V .An internal clamp also
DC
• 5A Continuous-Current Capability
• Integrated 73mΩ (typ) nMOSFET Switch
protects the devices from surges up to 100V. The
devices automatically select the input source, with
channel A being the primary supply.
● Allows Flexible and Precise Design in OVLO
Implementation
These devices feature reverse bias-blocking capabilities.
Unlike other overvoltage protectors, when the devices
are disabled, the voltage applied to OUT does not feed
back into either INA or INB. These devices also feature
two OTG enable pins (OTG_ENA, OTG_ENB) that allow
OUT voltage to supply the corresponding input when OUT
is higher than the output startup voltage.
• Wide Adjustable OVLO Threshold Range from 4V
to 14V
• OTG Enables Allow OUT Supply INA/INB
• Preset Accurate Internal OVLO Thresholds:
13.75V ±2% (MAX14727)
10V ±2% (MAX14728)
5.92V ±2% (MAX14731)
These overvoltage-protection devices feature high-voltage,
low on-resistance (73mΩ, typ) internal FETs, effectively
minimizing a voltage drop across the device. When
the input voltage exceeds the overvoltage threshold,
the internal FET is turned off to prevent damage to the
protected components. The devices also have thermal-
shutdown protection against overload conditions.
● Increases System Reliability Through Premium
Security
• Surge Immunity Over +100V
• Soft-Start to Minimize In-Rush Current
• Internal 15ms Startup Debounce
• Thermal Shutdown Protection
● Minimizes Board Space With Compact Package
The overvoltage-protection threshold can be adjusted with
optional external resistors to any voltage between 4V and
14V. The devices automatically choose the appropriate
internal trip thresholds when the overvoltage-lockout input
is set lower than the external OVLO select voltage. The
internal OVLO are preset to 13.75V (typ) (MAX14727),
10V (typ) (MAX14728), or 5.92V (typ) (MAX14731).
• 30-Bump, 2.6mm x 2.2mm WLP
Ordering Information appears at end of data sheet.
The devices are specified over the extended -40°C
to +85°C temperature range, and are available in a
30-bump, wafer-level package (WLP).
