Triple USB Switch with Autoreset and
Fault Blanking
General Description
The MAX1940 triple current-limited switch with auto-
reset supplies a guaranteed 500mA load per channel in
accordance with USB specifications. The MAX1940
operates from a 4V to 5.5V input supply and consumes
only 60µA of quiescent current when operating and only
3µA in standby. Selectable active-high/active-low con-
trol logic and independent shutdown controls for each
channel provide additional flexibility. An autoreset fea-
ture latches the switch off in the event of a short circuit,
saving system power. The switch reactivates upon
removal of the shorted condition.
The MAX1940 provides several safety features to pro-
tect the USB port. Built-in thermal-overload protection
turns off the switch when the die temperature exceeds
+160°C. Accurate internal current-limiting circuitry pro-
tects the input supply against both overload and short-
circuit conditions. Independent open-drain fault signals
(FAULTA,
FAULTB,
and
FAULTC)
notify the micro-
processor when a thermal-overload, current-limit,
undervoltage lockout (UVLO), or short-circuit fault
occurs. A 20ms fault-blanking feature enables the cir-
cuit to ignore momentary faults, such as those caused
when hot-swapping a capacitive load, preventing false
alarms to the host system. The fault-blanking feature
also prevents fault signals from being issued when the
device powers up the load.
The MAX1940 is available in a space-saving 16-pin
QSOP package and operates 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.
