General Description
The MAX1922 current-limited 70mΩ switch with built-in
fault blanking provides an accurate, preset 1.4A to 2.1A
current limit, making it ideal for dual USB applications.
Its low quiescent supply current (16µA) and standby
current (1µA) conserve battery power in portable appli-
cations. The MAX1922 operates with inputs from 2.7V
to 5.5V, making it ideal for both 3V and 5V systems.
An overcurrent signal (OC) notifies the microprocessor
that the internal current limit has been reached. A 10ms
overcurrent-blanking feature allows momentary faults
(such as those caused when hot-swapping into a
capacitive load) to be ignored, thus preventing false
alarms to the host system. This blanking also prevents
an OC signal from being issued when the device is
powering up.
The MAX1922 has several safety features to ensure that
the USB port is protected. Built-in thermal-overload pro-
tection limits power dissipation and junction tempera-
ture. The device also has accurate internal current-
limiting circuitry to protect the input supply against
overload.
The MAX1922 is offered in a space-saving 8-pin SO
package and a 10-pin TDFN package and operates over
the extended (-40°C to +85°C) temperature range.
