General Description
Critical loads often employ parallel-connected power
supplies with redundancy in order to enhance system
reliability. The MAX8535/MAX8536/MAX8585 are highly
integrated but inexpensive MOSFET controllers that pro-
vide isolation and redundant power capability in high-reli-
ability systems. The MAX8535/MAX8585 are used in 12V
systems, and have an internal charge pump to drive the
gates of the n-channel pass elements to V
CC
+ 10V. The
MAX8536 is used in 3.3V and 5V systems, with a charge-
pump output of V
CC
+ 5V.
During startup, the MAX8535/MAX8536/MAX8585 moni-
tor the voltage drop across external MOSFETs. Once
V
CC
approaches or exceeds the bus voltage, the
MOSFETs are turned on. The MAX8535/MAX8536/
MAX8585 feature a dual-purpose TIMER input. A single
external resistor from TIMER to ground sets the turn-on
speed of the external MOSFETs. Optionally, the TIMER
input can be used as a logic-enable pin. Once the
device is turned on, the MAX8535/MAX8536/MAX8585
monitor the load, protecting against overvoltage, under-
voltage, and reverse-current conditions.
Overvoltage and undervoltage fault thresholds are
adjustable and can be disabled. The current-limit trip
points are set by the external MOSFETs’ R
DS(ON)
,
reducing component count. An open-drain logic-low
fault output indicates if an overvoltage, undervoltage, or
reverse-current fault occurs.
All devices come in a space-saving 8-pin µMAX
®
package and are specified over the extended -40°C to
+85°C temperature range.
