Overvoltage-Protection Controllers with
Status
FLAG
General Description
The MAX4838A/MAX4840A/MAX4842A are overvoltage-
protection ICs that protect low-voltage systems against
voltages of up to +28V. If the input voltage exceeds the
overvoltage trip level, the MAX4838A/MAX4840A/
MAX4842A turn off the low-cost external n-channel
FET(s) to prevent damage to the protected components.
An internal charge pump eliminates the need for external
capacitors and drives the FET gate for a simple,
robust solution.
The MAX4838A has a 7.4V overvoltage threshold, and
the MAX4840A has a 5.8V overvoltage threshold. The
MAX4842A has a 4.7V overvoltage threshold. The
MAX4838A/MAX4840A have an undervoltage-lockout
(UVLO) threshold of 3.25V, while the MAX4842A has a
UVLO of 2.5V. In addition to the single FET configura-
tion, the devices can be configured with back-to-back
external FETs to prevent currents from being back-dri-
ven into the adapter.
On power-up, the device waits for 50ms before driving
GATE high.
FLAG
is held low for an additional 50ms
after GATE goes high before deasserting. The
MAX4838A/MAX4840A/MAX4842A have an open-drain
FLAG
output. The
FLAG
output asserts immediately to
an overvoltage fault.
Additional features include a ±15kV (HBM) ESD-pro-
tected input (when bypassed with a 1µF capacitor) and
a shutdown pin (EN) to turn off the device.
All devices are offered in a small 6-pin SC70 and 6-pin
1.5mm x 1.0mm µDFN packages and are specified
over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range.

a 1µF capacitor or larger.
Ground
Fault Indication Output, Open-Drain, Active Low.
FLAG

GATE is driven high to turn on the external n-channel MOSFET(s).
No Connection. Not internally connected for µDFN package. Connected to ground for SC70
