MAX14922
High-Side Switch Controller with Current
Limiting
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX14922 is a high-side, n-channel FET controller
for implementing industrial high-side switches for switch-
ing ground-connected loads. The MAX14922 device con-
● +9V to +70V Operating Supply Range
● 5V / 50mA Integrated Linear Regulator
● -40°C to +125°C Ambient Temperature Operating
Range
trols an external nMOS power transistor, allowing low R
ON
high-side switch applications from a +9V to +70V supply
range.
● 16-TQFN Package, 3mm x 3mm, 0.5mm Pin Pitch
● Robust Design Features
• Ultra High-Speed Inductive Load Turn-Off by
Clamping to -70V
• Supply Independent Inductive Clamping
Fast inductive load turn-off can be achieved with use of a
high-voltage TVS diode enabling up to -70V (max) voltage
clamping. Ground-connected TVS diodes allow clamping
of exceptionally high inductive energies.
• Support of Low R

Load current is limited to a user-defined value through
a sense resistor. External FET overload protection is
achieved using an auto-retry timing feature, as defined by
• External FET Turn-On Propagation Delay < 20µs
• Active Current Limit Control During Overcurrent
● Fault Monitoring Diagnostic Features
• Overcurrent Detect Output

tionally using an external timing control.
• High Supply-Voltage Indication
• Flexible Supply or Load Voltage Monitor
• Undervoltage Lockout
• Thermal Warning and Shutdown Protection
• Device Ready Indication
The MAX14922 features an on-chip comparator enabling
monitoring of the high-side switch output or the supply in-
put voltage with a user-selected threshold. An integrated
charge pump enables high speed switching rates when
using low R
FETs in the 20kHz to 50kHz range.
