MAX8535/MAX8536/MAX8585
Critical loads often employ parallel-connected power supplies with redundancy in order to enhance system reliability. The MAX8535/MAX8536/MAX8585 are highly integrated but inexpensive MOSFET controllers that provide isolation and redundant power capability in high-reliability systems. The MAX8535/MAX8585 are used in 12V systems, and have an internal charge pump to drive the gates of the n-channel pass elements to VCC + 10V. The MAX8536 is used in 3.3V and 5V systems, with a chargepump output of VCC + 5V. During startup, the MAX8535/MAX8536/MAX8585 monitor the voltage drop across external MOSFETs. Once V CC approaches or exceeds the bus voltage, the MOSFETs are turned on. The MAX8535/MAX8536/ MAX8585 feature a dual-purpose TIMER input. A single external resistor from TIMER to ...
