Low-Cost, High-Reliability, 0.5V to 3.3V ORing
MOSFET Controllers
General Description
Critical loads often employ parallel-connected power
supplies with redundancy to enhance system reliability.
The MAX8555/MAX8555A are highly integrated, inex-
pensive MOSFET controllers that provide isolation and
redundant power capability in high-reliability systems.
The MAX8555/MAX8555A are used in 0.5V to 3.3V sys-
tems, and have an internal charge pump to drive the
gates of the N-channel pass elements to (V
CS+
+ 5V).
During startup, the MAX8555/MAX8555A monitor the
voltage drop across the external MOSFETs. Once V
CS+
approaches or exceeds the bus voltage (V
CS-
), the
MOSFETs are turned on. The MAX8555/MAX8555A fea-
ture a dual-purpose TIMER input. A single external
resistor from TIMER to ground sets the turn-on speed of
the external MOSFETs. Optionally, the TIMER input can
be used as a logic enable input. Once the external
MOSFET is turned on, these controllers monitor the
load, protecting the bus against overvoltage, undervolt-
age, and reverse-current fault conditions. The
MAX8555 is available with a 40mV reverse-current
threshold, while the MAX8555A is available with a 20mV
reverse-current threshold.
Overvoltage and undervoltage fault thresholds are
adjustable and can be disabled. The current-limit trip
points are set by the external MOSFETs’ R
DS(ON)
,
reducing component count. An open-drain, logic-low
fault output indicates if an overvoltage, undervoltage, or
reverse-current fault occurs. The MAX8555 and the
MAX8555A can shut down in response to a reverse-
current fault condition as quickly as 200ns.
Both devices come in space-saving 10-pin µMAX or
TDFN packages and are specified over the extended
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.

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.
