The MAX4923–MAX4926 overvoltage protection
(OVP) controllers protect low-voltage systems against
high-voltage faults of up to +28V with an appropriate
external pFET. When the input voltage exceeds the overvoltage
lockout (OVLO) threshold, or falls below the
undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold, these devices
turn off the pFET to prevent damage to protected components
and issue a flag to notify the processor of a fault
condition.
The typical overvoltage trip level is set to 7.18V
(MAX4923), 6.16V (MAX4924), 5.65V (MAX4925), and
4.46V (MAX4926). The undervoltage trip level is set to
2.44V (typ) for all devices.
The input (IN) is ESD protected to ±15kV HBM when
bypassed to ground with a 1µF ceramic capacitor. All
devices are offered in a small, 6-pin (1.5mm x 1.0mm)
µDFN package and are specified over the extended
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.
