MAX16972/MAX16972A
3A Automotive Hi-Speed USB
Protectors with Apple iPhone/iPad
and USB 2.0 Charge Detection
General Description
Benefits and Features
● 900MHz Bandwidth USB 2.0 Data Switches
The MAX16972/MAX16972A provide high-ESD and
short-circuit protection for the low-voltage internal USB
data and USB power line in automotive radio, naviga-
tion, connectivity, and USB hub applications. The devices
support both Hi-Speed USB (480Mbps) and full-speed
USB (12Mbps) operation. In addition, the devices include
integrated circuitry to enable fast charging for consumer
devices that adhere to either the Apple method or the
Hi-Speed USB host-charger port-detection protocol and
support USB on-the-go (OTG).

• Short-to-Battery and Short-to-GND Protection on
Protected HVBUS Output
• Short-to-Battery and Short-to-HVBUS Protection
on Protected HVD+ and HVD- Outputs
Theshort-circuitprotectionfeaturesincludeshort-to-battery
on the protected HVBUS, HVD+, and HVD- outputs, as
well as short-to-HVBUS on the protected HVD+ and HVD-
outputs. The devices are capable of a short-to-battery
condition of up to +18V. Short-to-GND and overcurrent
protection are also provided on the HVBUS output to
protect the internal BUS power rail from overcurrent faults.
• Two 4.0Ω (typ) R
USB 2.0 Data Switches
ON
• Integrated Overcurrent and Short-Circuit Autoretry
• High ESD Protection (HVD+, HVD-, HVBUS)
• ±15kV Human Body Model
• ±15kV IEC 61000-4-2 Air Gap
• ±8kV IEC 61000-4-2 Contact
Each device features high-ESD protection to ±15kV Air-
Gap method and ±8kV Contact method on all protected
HVBUS, HVD+, and HVD- outputs.
• 20ms Fault-Blanking Timeout Period
● Automatic Transitioning of Charge Modes through
Intelligent State Machine for Seamless Device
Integration
Each device features two low 4.0Ω on-resistance Hi-Speed
USB switches, a current-limited low-voltage 31mΩ BUS
switch, and provides an integrated high-voltage external
power-switch controller. The BUS switch can start up into
high-capacitance noncompliant USB loads. The devices
also feature an enable input, a fault output, integrated
Apple iPhone /iPad fast-charging termination resistors,
and an integrated host-charger port-detection circuit that
adheres to the USB 2.0 battery-charging specification
version 1.2.
