General Description

The MAX14523A/MAX14523AL/MAX14523B/MAX14523C
programmable current-limit switches feature internal
current limiting to prevent damage to host devices due
to faulty load conditions. These current-limit switches
feature a low 70m

Ω on-resistance and operate from a

+1.7V to +5.5V input voltage range. The current limit is
adjustable from 250mA to 1.5A, making these devices
ideal for SDIO (secure digital input/output) and other
load-switching applications.

Each device in the family handles an overcurrent event
differently depending on the option selected. The
MAX14523A/MAX14523AL go into an autoretry mode,
the MAX14523B latches off the switch, and the
MAX14523C features a continuous current-limit mode.
Additional safety features include thermal shutdown to
prevent overheating and reverse-current blocking to
prevent current from being driven back into the source.

The MAX14523A/MAX14523AL/MAX14523B/MAX14523C
are available in a tiny 8-pin, 3mm x 3mm, TDFN pack-
age and operate over the -40°C to +125°C automotive
temperature range.
