1.2A, Current-Limited, High-Side
P-Channel Switch with Thermal Shutdown
General Description
The MAX890L smart, low-voltage, P-channel, MOSFET
power switch is intended for high-side load-switching
applications. This switch operates with inputs from
+2.7V to +5.5V, making it ideal for both +3V and +5V
systems. Internal current-limiting circuitry protects the
input supply against overload. Thermal-overload pro-
tection limits power dissipation and junction tempera-
tures.
The MAX890L’s maximum current limit is 1.2A. The cur-
rent limit through the switch is programmed with a
resistor from SET to ground. The quiescent supply cur-
rent is a low 10µA. When the switch is off, the supply
current decreases to 0.1µA.
The MAX890L is available in an 8-pin SO package.

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.
