Overvoltage Protectors with
External pFET
3–MAX4926
General Description
Features
The MAX4923–MAX4926 overvoltage protection
(OVP) controllers protect low-voltage systems against
high-voltage faults of up to +28V with an appropriate
external pFET. When the input voltage exceeds the over-
voltage lockout (OVLO) threshold, or falls below the
undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold, these devices
turn off the pFET to prevent damage to protected compo-
nents and issue a flag to notify the processor of a fault
condition.
o Overvoltage Protection Up to +28V
o Preset 7.18V, 6.16V, 5.65V, and 4.46V Typical
Overvoltage Trip Levels
o Preset 2.44V Typical Undervoltage Trip Level
o
2.5ꢀ ꢁccꢂrate OvervoltageꢃUndervoltage
Trip Levels
o Low 13µꢁ (typ) Sꢂpply Cꢂrrent
o Drives External pFET
The typical overvoltage trip level is set to 7.18V
(MAX4923), 6.16V (MAX4924), 5.65V (MAX4925), and
4.46V (MAX4926). The undervoltage trip level is set to
2.44V (typ) for all devices.
o 20ms ꢁdapter Deboꢂnce Time
o Faꢂlt Flag Indicator
The input (IN) is ESD protected to 15kV ꢀHM when
bypassed to ground with a 1µF ceramic capacitor. All
devices are offered in a small, 6-pin (1.5mm x 1.0mm)
µDFN package and are specified over the extended
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.
