General Description
The MAX4959/MAX4960 overvoltage protection controllers protect low-voltage systems against high-voltage faults of up to +28V. When the input voltage
exceeds the overvoltage lockout (OVLO) threshold,
these devices turn off an external pFET to prevent damage to the protected components. The undervoltage
lockout (UVLO) threshold holds the external pFET off
until the input voltage rises to the correct level. An additional safety feature latches off the pFET when an incorrect low-power adapter is plugged in.
The MAX4959/MAX4960 control an external battery
switchover pFET (P2) (see Figures 4 and 6) that switches
in the battery when the AC adapter is unplugged. The
undervoltage and overvoltage trip levels can be adjusted
with external resistors.
The input is protected against ±15kV HBM ESD when
bypassed with a 1µF ceramic capacitor to ground. All
devices are available in a small 10-pin (2mm x 2mm)
µDFN and 10-pin µMAX packages and are specified for
operation over the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature
range.

Detailed Description
The MAX4959/MAX4960 provide up to +28V overvoltage
protection for low-voltage systems. When the input voltage exceeds the overvoltage trip level, the MAX4959/
MAX4960 turn off an external pFET to prevent damage
to the protected components.
The MAX4959/MAX4960 feature a control bit (CB) pin
that controls an external battery-switchover function that
switches in the battery when the adapter is unconnected. The host system detects when the battery switchover
must take place and pulls CB high to turn on P2. The
load current is not interrupted during battery switchover
as the body diode of P2 conducts until the CB line is driven high (see the
MAX4959 Typical Operating Circuit 1
,
Figure 4).
An additional safety feature latches off pFET P1 when a
low-power adapter is plugged in. This protects the system from seeing repeated adapter insertions and
removals when an incorrect low-power adapter is
plugged in that cannot provide sufficient current.
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The MAX4959/MAX4960 have an adjustable undervoltage lockout threshold ranging from +5V to +28V. When
VINis less than the V
UVLO
, the device waits for a blank-
ing time, t
BLANK
, to see if the fault still exists. If the fault
does not exist at the end of t
BLANK
, P1 remains on. If
VINis less than V
UVLO
for longer than the blanking
time, the device turns P1 off and P1 does not turn on
again until VIN< 0.75V. See Figure 1.
Overvoltage Lockout (OVLO)
The MAX4959/MAX4960 have an adjustable overvoltage lockout threshold ranging from +6V to +28V. When
VINis greater than the V
OVLO
, the device turns P1 off
immediately. When V
IN
drops below V
OVLO,
P1 turns on
again after the debounce time has elapsed.
Device Operation
High-Voltage Adapter (V

)
If an adapter with a voltage higher than V

is
plugged in, the MAX4959/MAX4960 is in an OVP condition, so P1 is kept off or immediately turned off. There is

no blanking time for OVP, but the debounce time
applies once the IN voltage falls below V
OVLO
but
above V
UVLO
. When the voltage at IN is higher than
V
OVLO
, the CB pin does not control P1.
Correct Adapter (V
UVLO
< VIN< V
OVLO
)
In this case, when the adapter is plugged in, the device
goes through a 20ms (typ) debounce time and ensures
that the voltage at IN is between V
UVLO
and V
OVLO
before P1 is turned on. In this state, the CB pin controls
both P1 and P2.
Low-Power Adapter or Glitch Condition
If the adapter has the correct voltage but not enough
power (incorrect low-power adapter), the MAX4959/
MAX4960 protect pFET P1 from oscillation. When the
adapter is first plugged in, P1 is off so the voltage is correct. When P1 is turned on after the debounce time, the
low-power adapter is dragged down to below V
UVLO
.
The device waits for a 10ms blanking time to make sure
it is not a temporary glitch, and, if a fault still exists, it
latches off P1. P1 does not turn on again until the
adapter is unplugged (VIN<~0.75V) and plugged in
again. This feature can work without the battery present

only if the backup capacitor on VDDis large enough to
maintain power for greater than the 10ms blanking time.
The detection that the adapter is unplugged and
plugged in again is implemented by monitoring the V
IN
signal. The adapter is unplugged when VINdrops below
VIN=~ 0.75V, and it is plugged in when VINbecomes
greater than VIN=~ 0.75V. To ensure the monitoring of
this lower threshold, an external storage capacitor at the
VDDpin is necessary. When the input voltage VINdrops
below 4V, power for some internal VINmonitoring circuitry is supplied by the external capacitor at the VDDpin.
This capacitor is supplied by VINthrough a diode and is
internally limited to 5.5V.
Adapter Not Present (VIN< V
UVLO
)
When the input voltage VINdrops below 4.4V, P1 is
turned off automatically and P1 does not turn on again
until the adapter is unplugged (VIN<~0.75V) and
plugged in again. When the adapter is not present, P1 is
kept off with the gate-source resistor (which is internal for
the MAX4960 and external for the MAX4959), and the
CB pin controls the battery switchover pFET P2.

Applications Information
MOSFET Configuration and Selection
The MAX4959/MAX4960 are used with a single MOSFET configuration as shown in the
Typical Operating
Circuits
to regulate voltage as a low-cost solution.
The MAX4959/MAX4960 are designed with pFETs. For
lower on-resistance, the external MOSFET can be multiple pFETs in parallel. In most situations, MOSFETs with
R
DS(ON)
specified for a VGSof 4.5V work well. Also,
MOSFETs (with VDS≥ 30V) withstand the full +28V IN
range of the MAX4959/MAX4960.
Resistor Selection for
Overvoltage/Undervoltage Window
The MAX4959/MAX4960 include undervoltage and
overvoltage comparators for window detection (see
Figure 4). GATE1 is enhanced and after the debounce
time, the pFET is turned on when the monitored voltage
is within the selected window.
The resistor values R1, R2, and R3 can be calculated
as follows:
where R
TOTAL
= R1 + R2 + R3.
Use the following steps to determine the values for R1,
R2, and R3:
1) Choose a value for R
TOTAL
, the sum of R1, R2, and
R3. Because the MAX4959/4960 have very high
input impedance, R
TOTAL
can be up to 5MΩ.
2) Calculate R3 based on R
TOTAL
and the desired
V
OVLO
trip point:
3) Calculate R2 based on R
TOTAL
, R3, and the desired
V
UVLO
trip point:
4) Calculate R1 based on R
TOTAL
, R2, and R3:
R1 = R
TOTAL
– R2 – R3
Note that the ratio between the externally set OVLO and
UVLO threshold must not exceed:
4 [V
OVLO
/ V
UVLO]MAX
≤ 4)
VDDCapacitor Selection
VDDis regulated to +5V by a linear regulator. Since the
minimum external adjustable UVLO trip threshold is
+5V, the VDDrange is +5V to +28V and the value at
VDDis:
VDD= VIN– 0.8V where VIN= 5V to 5.8V
VDD= +5V where VIN> 5.8V
The capacitor at VDDmust be large enough to provide
power to the device for an external settable time,
t
HOLD
, when VINdrops to 0V. The capacitor value to
have a minimum time of t
HOLD
is:
C = (I
VDD
x t
HOLD
) / (VDD- VDDUVLO)
The worst case scenario is where VIN= +5V, VDD= V
IN
- 0.8V = +4.2V, I
VDD
= 10µA (max). For a t
HOLD
time of
20ms, C = (10µA x 20ms) / (4.2V - 2.2V) = 100nF.
Note: The capacitor must be greater than 100nF for the
internal regulator to be stable, and needs to have low
ESR and low leakage current, for example, a ceramic
capacitor.
IN Bypass Considerations
For most applications, bypass IN to GND with a 1µF
ceramic capacitor. If the power source has significant
inductance due to long lead length, take care to prevent overshoots due to the LC tank circuit, and provide
protection if necessary to prevent exceeding the +30V
absolute maximum rating on VIN.
The MAX4959/MAX4960 provide protection against voltage faults up to+28V, but this does not include negative
voltages. If negative voltages are a concern, connect a
Schottky diode from IN to GND to clamp negative input
voltages.
ESD Test Conditions
The MAX4959/MAX4960 are protected from ±15kV
Human Body Model ESD on IN when IN is bypassed to
ground with a 1µF ceramic capacitor.
Human Body Model
Figure 2 shows the Human Body Model and Figure 3
shows the current waveform it generates when discharged into a low impedance. This model consists of a
100pF capacitor charged to the ESD voltage of interest
that is then discharged into the device through a 1.5kΩ
resistor.
