switches feature internal current limiting to prevent
damage to host devices due to faulty load conditions.
These analog switches have a low 0.2Ω on-resistance
and operate from a 2.3V to 5.5V input voltage range.
They are available with guaranteed 100mA, 200mA, and
300mA current limits, making them ideal for SDIO and
other load switching applications.
When the switch is on and a load is connected to the
port, a guaranteed blanking time of 14ms ensures that
the transient voltages settle down. If after this blanking
time the load current is greater than the current limit,
the MAX4914B/MAX4915B/MAX4917B latchoff versions
enter a latchoff state where the switch is turned off and
FLAG
is issued to the microprocessor. The switch can be
turned on again by cycling the power or the ON pin.
The MAX4915A/MAX4917A have an autoretry feature
where the switch turns off after the blanking time and
then continuously checks to see if the overload condition
is present. The switch turns on and remains on after the
overload condition disappears and
FLAG
deasserts.
The MAX4914B is available in the tiny 6-pin μDFN
(2mm x 2mm) package, while the MAX4915A/B and
MAX4917A/B are available in both 6-pin μDFN (2mm x
2mm) and space-saving 5-pin SOT23 packages. These
devices operate over the -40°C to +85°C extended
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 +25°C. Limits across the full temperature range are guaranteed by design and correlation.
Note 2:
Latchoff current does not include the current flowing into
FLAG.
Note 3:
The on-time is defined as the time taken for the current through the switch to go from 0mA to 10mA. The off-time is defined
as the time taken for the current through the switch to go from 10mA to 0mA.
Note 4:
Retry time is typically 15 times the blanking time.
