_______________Detailed Description
The MAX1693/MAX1694 P-channel MOSFET power
switches limit output current to 0.7A min to 1.0A max.
When the output current is increased beyond the current limit (I
LIMIT
), the current also increases through the
replica switch (I
OUT
/6500). The current-limit error amplifier compares the voltage to the internal 1.24V reference and regulates the current back to the I
LIMIT
.
These switches are not bidirectional; therefore, the
input voltage must be higher than the output voltage.
Continuous Short-Circuit Protection
The MAX1693/MAX1694 are foldback short circuit-protected switches. In the event of an output short-circuit
or current-overload condition, the current through the
switch is foldback-current limited to 500mA continuous
for the MAX1693. For the MAX1694, if the short circuit
lasts longer than 10ms, the switch is latched off.
Thermal Shutdown
The MAX1693/MAX1694 feature thermal shutdown. The
switch turns off and the FAULT output goes low immediately (no fault blanking) when the junction temperature exceeds +165°C. The MAX1694 remains latched
with the switch off and the FAULT output low. When the
MAX1693 cools 20°C, the switch turns back on. If the
fault short-circuit condition is not removed, the switch
will cycle on and off, resulting in a pulsed output.
FAULT
Indicator
The MAX1693/MAX1694 provide a fault output
(FAULT). A 100kΩ pull-up resistor from FAULT to IN
provides a logic control signal. This open-drain output
goes low when any of the following conditions occur:
• The input voltage is below the undervoltage-lockout
(UVLO) threshold.
• The die temperature exceeds the thermal shutdown
temperature limit of +165°C.
• The device is in current limit and the 10ms fault-
blanking period is exceeded.
Fault Blanking
The MAX1693/MAX1694 feature 10ms fault blanking.
Fault blanking allows current-limit faults, including
MAX1693/MAX1694
USB Current-Limited Switches

Pin Description
NAME FUNCTION
1, 3, 9 IN
Input. P-channel MOSFET source. Connect all IN pins together and bypass with a 1µF
ceramic capacitor to ground.
PIN
2, 4, 8, 10 OUT
Switch Output. P-channel MOSFET drain. Connect all OUT pins together and bypass with a
0.1µF capacitor to ground.
5
ON
Active-Low Switch On Input. A logic low turns the switch on.
6 GND Ground
7
FAULT
Fault-Indicator Output. This open-drain output goes low when the device is in thermal shutdown or undervoltage lockout or on a sustained (>10ms) current-limit condition. For the
MAX1694 only, this output latches low when asserted, and the power switch is turned off
until the latch is reset.
