High-Voltage OVP with Battery Switchover
5/MAX4960
General Description
Features
The MAX4959/MAX4960 overvoltage protection con-
trollers protect low-voltage systems against high-volt-
age faults of up to +28V. When the input voltage
exceeds the overvoltage lockout (OVLO) threshold,
these devices turn off an external pFET to prevent dam-
age to the protected components. The undervoltage
lockout (UVLO) threshold holds the external pFET off
until the input voltage rises to the correct level. An addi-
tional safety feature latches off the pFET when an incor-
rect low-power adapter is plugged in.

The MAX4959/MAX4960 control an external battery
switchover pFET (P2) (see Figures 4 and 6) that switches
in the battery when the AC adapter is unplugged. The
undervoltage and overvoltage trip levels can be adjusted
with external resistors.

Ordering Information
The input is protected against ±±5kV ꢀHM EꢁS when
bypassed with a ±µF ceramic capacitor to ground. All
devices are available in a small ±0-pin (2mm x 2mm)
µSFN and ±0-pin µMAX packages and are specified for
operation over the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature
range.
