MAX17616/A 7A Current Limiters

Analog Devices Inc. MAX17616/A 7A Current Limiters offer highly versatile and programmable protection boundaries for systems against input voltage faults and output overcurrent faults. Input-voltage faults (with positive polarity) are protected up to +80V (without reverse current protection) and +75V (with reverse current protection) by an internal nFET featuring low ON-resistance (20mΩ typical). The Analog Devices Inc. MAX17616/A devices feature programmable undervoltage-lockout (UVLO) thresholds by using external voltage dividers. The MAX17616 features a programmable overvoltage-lockout (OVLO) while MAX17616A offers a programmable output voltage clamp function through the OVFB pin that features an output voltage limiting regulation during input transient surge events. Input undervoltage and overvoltage protection (MAX17616)/output voltage clamp function (MAX17616A) can be programmed across the entire 3V to 80V operating range.
