Maxim introduces Family of Adjustable Current-Limit Switches

November 23rd, 2009, by pur, in Embedded Device, Mobile Devices, Programmable Logic, Semiconductor

MAX14523A/MAX14523B/MAX14523C are family of adjustable current-limit switches. These overcurrent limiters offer a ±10% accurate current limit that can be programmed from 250mA to 1500mA with an external resistor. The MAX14523A/B/C protect host devices against damage caused by faulty load conditions, and provide reverse-current blocking to prevent current from being dumped back into the source. These tiny devices have a very low shutdown current (0.5µA), making them ideal for cell phones, MP3 players, and other battery-powered applications. Packaged in a lead-free, 3mm x 3mm, 8-pin TDFN, the MAX14523A/B/C are fully specified over the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range…
