General Description
The MAX4987AE/MAX4987BE are overvoltage protection
devices with built-in ESD protection for USB data lines.
These devices feature a low 100mΩ (typ) RONinternal
nFET switch and protect low-voltage systems against voltage faults up to +28V. When the input voltage exceeds
the overvoltage threshold or decreases below the undervoltage threshold, the internal nFET switch is turned off to
prevent damage to the protected components.
All switches feature a minimum 1.5A current-limit protection. During a short-circuit occurrence, the switch
operates in an autoretry mode where the internal nFET
switch is turned on to check if the fault has been
removed. The autoretry interval is 30ms, and if the fault
is removed, the nFET switch remains on.
The MAX4987AE/MAX4987BE feature low-capacitance
(3pF) ESD protection for USB data lines that allow
transmission of high-speed USB 2.0 signals.
The overvoltage threshold (OVLO) is preset to 6.15V.
The undervoltage thresholds (UVLO) are preset to 2.55V
(MAX4987AE) or 4.2V (MAX4987BE). When the input
voltage drops below the undervoltage (UVLO) threshold, the devices enter a low-current standby mode.
All devices are offered in a small 2mm x 3mm, 8-pin
TDFN package and operate over the -40°C to +85°C
extended temperature range.

MAX4987AE/MAX4987BE
Detailed Description
The MAX4987AE/MAX4987BE are overvoltage protection devices with integrated ESD protection for USB
data lines. These devices feature a low RONinternal
FET and protect low-voltage systems against voltage
faults up to +28V. If the input voltage exceeds the overvoltage threshold, the internal nFET switch is turned off
to prevent damage to the protected components. The
30ms debounce time prevents false turn-on of the internal nFET switch during startup. An open-drain activelow logic output is available to signal that a successful
power-up has occurred.
Device Operation
The MAX4987AE/MAX4987BE have an internal oscillator and charge pump that control the turn-on of the
internal nFET switch. The internal oscillator controls the
timers that enable the turn-on of the charge pump and
controls the state of the open-drain ACOK output. If V
IN
< V
UVLO
or if VIN> V
OVLO
, the internal oscillator
remains off, thus disabling the charge pump. If V
UVLO
<
VIN< V
OVLO
, the internal charge pump is enabled. The
charge-pump startup, after a 30ms internal delay, turns
on the internal nFET switch and asserts ACOK (see
Figure 1). At any time, if VINdrops below V
UVLO
or rises
above V
OVLO
, ACOK is pulled high and the charge
pump is disabled.
Internal nFET Switch
The MAX4987AE/MAX4987BE incorporate an internal
nFET switch with a 100mΩ (typ) on-resistance. The
nFET switch is internally driven by a charge pump that
generates a voltage above the input voltage. The
MAX4987AE/MAX4987BE is equipped with a 1.5A (min)
current-limit protection that turns off the nFET switch
within 5µs (typ) during an overcurrent fault condition.
Autoretry
The MAX4987AE/MAX4987BE have an overcurrent
autoretry function that turns on the nFET switch again
after a 30ms (typ) retry time (see Figure 2). If the faulty
load condition is still present after the blanking time, the
switch turns off again and the cycle is repeated. The fast
turn-off time and 30ms retry time result in a very low duty
cycle in order to keep power consumption low. If the
faulty load condition is not present, the switch remains on.
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The MAX4987AE has a 2.55V undervoltage-lockout
threshold (UVLO), while the MAX4987BE has a 4.15V
UVLO threshold. When VINis less than V
UVLO
, ACOK is
high impedance.

Overvoltage Lockout (OVLO)
The MAX4987AE/MAX4987BE have a 6.15V (typ) overvoltage threshold (OVLO). When VINis greater than
V
OVLO
, ACOK is high impedance.
ACOK
ACOK is an active-low open-drain output that asserts
low when V
UVLO
< VIN< V
OVLO
following the 30ms
(typ) debounce period. Connect a pullup resistor from
ACOK to the logic I/O voltage of the host system.
During a short-circuit fault, ACOK may deassert due to
VINnot being in the valid operating voltage range.
Thermal-Shutdown Protection
The MAX4987AE/MAX4987BE feature thermal-shutdown
circuitry. The internal nFET switch turns off when the
junction temperature exceeds T
SHDN
and immediately
goes into a fault mode. The device exits thermal shutdown after the junction temperature cools by +40°C (typ).
Applications Information
IN Bypass Capacitor
For most applications, bypass IN to GND with a 1µF
ceramic capacitor as close to the device as possible to
enable ±15kV HBM ESD protection on IN. If ±15kV HBM
ESD protection is not required, there is no capacitor
required at IN. 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 absolute maximum
rating on IN.
ESD Test Conditions
ESD performance depends on a number of conditions.
The MAX4987AE/MAX4987BE are specified for ±15kV
HBM ESD protection on the CD+, CD-, and IN pins
when IN is bypassed to ground with a 1µF ceramic
capacitor. The CD+ and CD- inputs are also protected
against ±15kV Air Gap and ±6kV contact IEC 61000-42 ESD events.
Human Body Model
Figure 3 shows the Human Body Model, and Figure 4
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.
IEC 61000-4-2
The IEC 61000-4-2 standard covers ESD testing and performance of finished equipment. It does not specifically
refer to integrated circuits. The MAX4987AE/ MAX4987BE

are specified for ±15kV Air-Gap Discharge and ±6kV
Contact Discharge IEC 61000-4-2 on the CD+ and CDpins.
The major difference between tests done using the
Human Body Model and IEC 61000-4-2 is a higher peak
current in IEC 61000-4-2, due to lower series resistance.
Hence, the ESD withstand voltage measured to IEC
61000-4-2 generally is lower than that measured using
the Human Body Model. Figure 5 shows the IEC 610004-2 model. The Contact Discharge method connects the
probe to the device before the probe is charged. The
Air-Gap Discharge test involves approaching the device
with a charged probe.
