Current-Limited, High-Side
P-Channel Switches with Thermal Shutdown
_______________General Description
The MAX891L/MAX892L smart, low-voltage, P-channel,
MOSFET power switches are intended for high-side
load-switching applications. These switches operate
with inputs from 2.7V to 5.5V, making them ideal for
both 3V and 5V systems. Internal current-limiting circuitry
protects the input supply against overload. Thermal-
overload protection limits power dissipation and junc-
tion temperatures.
The MAX891L/MAX892L’s maximum current limits are
500mA and 250mA, respectively. The current limit
through the switch is programmed with a resistor from
SET to ground. When the switch is on, the quiescent
supply current is a low 13µA. When the switch is off, the
quiescent current decreases to 0.1µA.
The MAX891L/MAX892L are available in 8-pin µMAX
packages.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
