General Description
The MAX1812 is a dual current-limited switch specifi-
cally made for USB applications. Each channel is guar-
anteed to supply 500mA and meets USB specifications.
The MAX1812’s low quiescent supply current (45µA)
and shutdown current (3µA) conserve battery power in
portable applications.
The MAX1812 has multiple safety features to ensure
that the USB port is protected. Built-in thermal-overload
protection limits power dissipation and junction temper-
ature. The device also has accurate internal current-lim-
iting circuitry to protect the input supply against both
overload and short-circuit conditions. Independent fault
signals (FAULTA and FAULTB) notify the microproces-
sor when a thermal-overload, current limit, undervoltage
lockout, or short-circuit fault occurs. A 20ms fault-blank-
ing feature enables the circuit to ignore momentary
faults, such as those caused when hot-swapping a
capacitive load, thereby preventing false alarms to the
host system.
The MAX1812 is available in a space-saving 10-pin
µMAX package. For single versions of this device, refer
to the MAX1693, MAX1694, and MAX1607 data sheets.
