MAX1693H

19-1518; Rev 2; 9/01 MAX1693/(MAX1693H)/MAX1694 USB Current-Limited Switches with Fault Blanking General Description The MAX1693/(MAX1693H)/MAX1694 are current-limited, 60mΩ switches with built-in fault blanking. Their accurate preset current limit of 0.7A to 1.0A makes them ideally suited for USB applications. Their low quiescent supply current (14µA) and shutdown current (1µA) conserve battery power in portable applications. The MAX1693/(MAX1693H)/MAX1694 operate with inputs from 2.7V to 5.5V, making them ideal for both 3V and 5V systems. A fault signal notifies the microprocessor that the internal current limit has been reached. A 10ms fault-blanking feature allows momentary faults (such as those caused when hot-swapping into a capacitive load) to be ignored, thus preventing false alarms to the host system. This fault blanking also prevents a fault signal from being issued when the device is powering up. In the MAX1693/(MAX1693H), an output overcurrent condition causes the sw...
