channel outputs, auxiliary and main. A fault condition
occurs when the output voltage falls below the set
undervoltage threshold or the output current reaches the
overcurrent threshold. When a fault occurs, all supplies
of the affected channel are disabled after a time period
t
DELAY
. All outputs are automatically restarted after a
time equal to t
RESTART
. This reset is built into all devices.
Current Limits
All supplies are protected against output overcurrent or
short-circuit conditions. The MAX5915/MAX5915A and
MAX5916/MAX5916A employ a “brickwall” current limit
on the +3.3V and +5V supplies and a current-foldback
scheme on the ±12V and +3.3V auxiliary supplies.
Brickwall
A brickwall current limit protects the +3.3V and +5V
main supplies by limiting the load current. The external
sense resistors and the current-limit threshold set the
brickwall current limits. A fault occurs when the load
current reaches the brickwall limit. The main outputs
shut down after t
DELAY
if the fault remains. The brick-
wall feature limits inrush current caused by positive
supply voltage steps.
Foldback
The ±12V and +3.3V auxiliary supplies employ an
internal current-foldback scheme. The MAX5915/
MAX5915A/MAX5916/MAX5916A gradually limit the load
current once the current-foldback threshold is reached. If
the overcurrent condition lasts longer than a fast tran-
sient, the output current is reduced to the foldback cur-
rent limit and remains at that level for t
DELAY
unless the
overcurrent condition is cleared. See the Typical
Operating Characteristics.

Input Undervoltage Lockout
UVLO prevents these devices from turning on
internal/external MOSFETs until the input voltage exceeds
the lockout threshold. The UVLO protects the MOSFETs
from insufficient gate-drive voltage. Figure 2 shows that if
an input undervoltage condition exists for more than
t
DEG,UVLO
, the outputs are disabled and PGOOD_ goes
low immediately. The time delay t
DEG,UVLO
is negative
edge delayed and acts as a deglitch.
Fault Management
When a fault is detected on one of the main outputs, the
MAX5915/MAX5915A/MAX5916/MAX5916A disable the
channel outputs after t
DELAY
. A fault occurs when any of
the output voltages fall below their output undervoltage
threshold or any of the output currents exceed their out-
put overcurrent threshold. PGOOD_ pulls low if a fault
persists for more than t
RESP
. The channel with the fault is
disabled after t
DELAY
. The MAX5915/MAX5916 are avail-
able with a response time of 1.5ms (t
RESP
). The
MAX5915A/MAX5916A offer a response time of 100ns
(t
RESP2
). If the fault is removed before t
DELAY
, the chan-
nel remains on and PGOOD_ pulls high immediately.
Latched Fault Protection
The MAX5915/MAX5915A latch off the appropriate
channel’s main outputs. Toggling +12VIN or ON_
restarts the main outputs. Figure 3 outlines the logic for
the main and auxiliary shutdown control of the
MAX5915, while fault handling is shown in Figures 5
and 6.
Autoretry Fault Protection
The MAX5916/MAX5916A automatically restart the out-
puts after t
RESTART
. The MAX5915/MAX5915A/
MAX5916/MAX5916A handle faults on the auxiliary out-
puts by automatically restarting the appropriate chan-
nel. Figure 4 outlines the logic for the main and auxiliary
shutdown control of the MAX5916, while fault handling
is shown in Figures 6 and 7.
Output Overcurrent
External sense resistors monitor the current on the +5V
and +3.3V outputs, while the +3.3V auxiliary and ±12V
output currents are monitored internally. Figures 5, 6,
and 7 show overcurrent fault management for the
MAX5915/MAX5915A/MAX5916/MAX5916A.

Output Undervoltage
The output voltages on all supplies, except the -12V
supply, are monitored for undervoltage. Output under-
voltage fault management is identical to the output
overcurrent fault management. Figures 5, 6, and 7 can
be used to illustrate undervoltage faults on the
MAX5915/MAX5915A/MAX5916/MAX5916A.
Thermal Shutdown Control
The MAX5915/MAX5915A/MAX5916/MAX5916A feature
internal thermal protection. Two thresholds detect when
the device is overheated. If the first threshold is reached,
the channel that is in overcurrent shuts down. If the sec-
ond thermal threshold is reached, the entire device shuts
down. The device cannot be restarted until the thermal
condition is cleared. For the MAX5915, the main chan-
nels turn back on after +12VIN or ON_ is toggled. For the
MAX5916, the main channels turn back on after
t
RESTART
. The auxiliary channels for the MAX5915/
MAX5915A/MAX5916/MAX5916A restart after t
RESTART
.
PGOOD_ Operation
The MAX5915/MAX5915A/MAX5916/MAX5916A incor-
porate a PGOOD_ output to report when power is good
to a microprocessor or controller. PGOOD_ remains low
if the auxiliary outputs are not powered, for PCI and
compact PCI systems where the 3.3VAUX is not avail-
able. Connect 3.3VAUXIN to 3.3VIN and connect
AUXON_ to ON_ to allow PGOOD_ to transition high
when the main supplies are available. The open-drain
structure of PGOOD_ requires an external pullup resis-
tor (see the Functional Diagram). Figure 8 shows the
internal logic of the PGOOD_ output.
