USB Current-Limited Switch

in Pin-Compatible Package
General Description Features

MAX1607
The MAX1607 is a current-limited 60m switch with SO Package is Pin Compatible with TPS2014,
built-in fault blanking. Its accurate, preset 0.7A to 1.0A TPS2015, and TPS2041
current limit makes it ideal for USB applications. Its low
quiescent supply current (14A) and standby current Accurate Current Limit (0.7A min, 1.0A max)
(1A) conserve battery power in portable applications. Guaranteed 0.75A Short-Circuit Protection
The MAX1607 operates with inputs from +2.7V to
+5.5V, making it ideal for both 3V and 5V systems. 10ms Internal OC Blanking Timeout
An overcurrent signal (OC) notifies the microprocessor No Overcurrent (OC) Signal During Power-Up
that the internal current limit has been reached. A 10ms
overcurrent-blanking feature allows momentary faults 125m max High-Side MOSFET
(such as those caused when hot-swapping into a 500mA Continuous Current
capacitive load) to be ignored, thus preventing false
alarms to the host system. This blanking also prevents Short-Circuit and Thermal Protection with
an OC signal from being issued when the device is Overcurrent Logic Output
powering up.
1ms Start-Up Time
The MAX1607 has several safety features to ensure that
the USB port is protected. Built-in thermal-overload pro- Undervoltage Lockout
tection limits power dissipation and junction temperature.
The device also has accurate internal current-limiting 14A Quiescent Supply Current
circuitry to protect the input supply against overload. 1A max Standby Supply Current
The MAX1607 is a pin-compatible upgrade to Texas
Instruments TPS2014, TPS2015, and TPS2041 for USB +2.7V to +5.5V Supply Range
