Adjustable Overvoltage Protectors Deliver Superior Input Voltage Protection and Maximum Flexibility
Note to Editor:
- The MAX14527/MAX14528 are overvoltage protectors (OVPs) that protect low-voltage systems against voltage faults up to 28V.
- These OVPs integrate a low, 100mΩ (typ) RON MOSFET, thus eliminating the need for an external n-channel MOSFET.
- The MAX14527/MAX14528 are ideal for cell phones, media players, PDAs, and other portable applications requiring accurate overvoltage protection.

SUNNYVALE, CA—February 9, 2009—Maxim Integrated Products (NASDAQ: MXIM) introduces the MAX14527/MAX14528 overvoltage protectors (OVPs) designed to protect low-voltage systems against voltage faults up to 28V. These devices employ an internal low, 100mΩ (typ) RON MOSFET to prevent damage to circuitry from overvoltage conditions. This integration eliminates the need for an external n-channel MOSFET, thus saving board space and reducing cost. Additionally, the devices enhance design flexibility by allowing designers to adjust the overvoltage-protection threshold with optional external resistors to any voltage between 4V and 12V. The MAX14527/MAX14528 are ideal for cell phones, media players, PDAs, and other portable applications requiring accurate overvoltage protection.
These OVPs integrate thermal shutdown protection to prevent overcurrent damage, and they provide ±15kV ESD protection (Human Body Model) when the input is bypassed with a 1µF capacitor to ground. Packaged in a lead-free, 2mm x 2mm, 8-pin TDFN, the MAX14527/MAX14528 are fully specified over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range. Prices start at $0.90 (1000-up, FOB USA).
