1.2A, Current-Limited, High-Side
P-Channel Switch with Thermal Shutdown
General Description
The MAX893L 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-
ture.
The MAX893L’s maximum programmed current limit is
1.2A. The typical short-circuit current is 1.5 times the
programmed current; therefore, a 1.2A programmed
limit will result in a 1.8A short-circuit current limit. The
current limit through the switch is programmed with a
resistor from SET to ground. The quiescent supply cur-
rent is a low 13µA. When the switch is off, the supply
current decreases to 0.1µA.
The MAX893L 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.
