Signal-Line Circuit Protectors
_______________General Description
The MAX366 and MAX367 are multiple, two-terminal circuit
protectors. Placed in series with signal lines, each two-ter-
minal device guards sensitive circuit components against
voltages near and beyond the normal supply voltages.
These devices are used at interfaces where sensitive cir-
cuits are connected to the external world and could
encounter damaging voltages (up to 35V beyond the sup-
ply rails) during power-up, power-down, or fault conditions.
The MAX366 contains three independent protectors and
the MAX367 contains eight. They can protect analog sig-
nals using either unipolar (4.5V to 36V) or bipolar (±2.25V
to ±18V) power supplies. Each protector is symmetrical.
Input and output terminals may be freely interchanged.
These devices are voltage-sensitive MOSFET transistor
arrays that are normally on when power is applied and
normally open circuit when power is off. With ±10V sup-
plies, on-resistance is 100Ω max and leakage is less than
1nA at +25°C.
When signal voltages exceed or are within approximately
1.5V of either power-supply voltage (including when
power is off), the two-terminal resistance increases dra-
matically, limiting fault current as well as output voltage to
sensitive circuits. The protected side of the switch main-
tains the correct polarity and clamps approximately 1.5V
below the supply rail. There are no “glitches” or polarity
reversals going into or coming out of a fault condition.

FUNCTION
MAX366/MAX367
* Inputs and outputs are names for convenience only; inputs and outputs are identical and interchangeable.
___________Background Information
When a voltage outside the supply range is applied to
most integrated circuits, there is a strong possibility they
will be damaged or “latch up” (that is, fail to operate prop-
erly even after the offending voltage is removed). If an
IC’s input or output pin is supplied with a voltage when the
IC’s power is off, and power is subsequently applied, the
device may act as an SCR and destroy itself and/or other
circuitry. Such “faults” are commonly encountered in
modular control systems where power and signals to inter-
connected modules may be interrupted and re-estab-
lished at random. They can happen during production
testing, maintenance, start-up, or a power “brownout.”
The MAX366/MAX367 are designed to protect delicate
input and output circuitry from overvoltage faults up to
±40V (with or without power applied), in devices such as
op amps, analog-to-digital/digital-to-analog converters,
and voltage references. These circuit protectors automati-
cally limit signal voltages and currents to safe levels with-
out degrading normal signal performance, even in very
high-impedance circuits. They are powered by the power
supply of the protected circuit and inserted into the signal
lines. There are no control lines, programming pins, or
adjustments.
Unlike shunt diode networks, these devices are low-
impedance FETs that become high impedance during a
fault condition, so fault current and power dissipation are
extremely low. Equally important, leakage current during
normal and fault conditions is extremely low. In addition,
unlike most discrete networks, these parts protect circuits
both when power is off and during power transitions.
_______________Detailed Description
Internal Construction
Figure 1 shows the simplified internal construction of
each protector inside the MAX366/MAX367. Each circuit
consists of two N-channel FETs and one P-channel FET.
All the FETs are enhancement types; that is, the N chan-
nels must have approximately 1.3V of positive gate volt-
age in order to conduct, and the P channel must have
approximately 2V of negative gate voltage in order to
conduct.
During normal operation, V+ is connected to a positive
potential and V- is connected to a negative potential.
Since their gates are tied to V+, transistors Q1 and Q3
conduct as long as their sources are at least 1.3V below
V+ (the N-channel gate threshold.) Transistor Q2’s gate
is tied to V-, so it conducts as long as its source is 2V or
more above V- (the P-channel gate threshold.)
