Single USB Switch with Autoreset and
Fault Blanking in Tiny TDFN
General Description
The MAX1946 single current-limited switch with auto-
reset supplies a guaranteed 500mA load in accordance
with USB specifications. The MAX1946 operates from a
2.7V to 5.5V input supply and consumes only 40µA of
quiescent current when operating and only 3µA in shut-
down. Selectable active-high/active-low control logic
and shutdown control provide additional flexibility. An
autoreset feature latches the switch off in the event of a
short circuit, saving system power. The switch reacti-
vates upon removal of the shorted condition.
The MAX1946 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. An open-drain fault signal, (FAULT),
notifies the microprocessor (µP) when a thermal over-
load, current-limit, undervoltage lockout (UVLO), or
short-circuit fault occurs. A 20ms fault-blanking feature
enables the circuit 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 prevents fault signals from being
issued when the device powers up the load.
The MAX1946 is available in a space-saving 8-pin
(3mm x 3mm) TDFN 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.

Note 1:
All parts are 100% tested at T
A
= +25°C. Limits over the operating temperature range are guaranteed by design.
Note 2:
Short-circuit detect threshold is the output voltage at which the device transitions from short-circuit current limit to continuous
current limit.
