+65V IEEE#802.3AF-COMPLIANT HOT-SWAP SWITCH TARGETS IP PHONES AND DATA TERMINAL EQUIPMENT REQUIRING DATA AND POWER ON THE SAME CABLE

SUNNYVALE, CA-September 12, 2001-Maxim introduces the MAX5910 and MAX5917, the industry’s first fully integrated +65V hot-swap switches targeted at the emerging IP phones, wireless LAN access nodes, and data terminal equipment (DTE) that require data and power on the same cable. The devices allow safe insertion and removal of the DTE cable from a live port without causing glitches on the power supply.

Dubbed the Simple Swapper, the devices require no design and no external components for most applications. Both devices include an internal 2.2Ω power FET. The MAX5917 complies with the IEEE802.3af power requirements. The MAX5910/MAX5917 limit the maximum load current to 240mA and 400mA, respectively. Both devices include a "zero-current" detection feature that detects a load disconnect. Other features include undervoltage lockout, ENABLE pin, error flag output, and thermal shutdown.

Operating at a +10V to +65V input voltage range, the MAX5910/ MAX5917 include error flag outputs that monitor four fault conditions: UVLO, power-not-good, zero-current detection, and thermal shutdown. If any fault condition occurs, the error flag outputs are asserted low, thereby providing an alert condition to the system microprocessor.

Rated for extended temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) operation, the MAX5910/MAX5917 are available in surface-mount 8-pin SO and 16-pin SO packages. Prices start at $1.83 (1000-up, FOB USA).
