MAX16126/MAX16127
Load-Dump/Reverse-Voltage Protection Circuits
General Description
The MAX16126/MAX16127 load-dump/reverse-voltage
protection circuits protect power supplies from dam-
aging input voltage conditions, including overvoltage,
reverse-voltage, and high-voltage transient pulses. Using
a built-in charge pump, the devices control two exter-
nal back-to-back n-channel MOSFETs that turn off and
isolate downstream power supplies during damaging
input conditions, such as an automotive load-dump pulse
or a reverse-battery condition. Operation is guaranteed
down to 3V to ensure proper operation during automo-
tive cold-crank conditions. These devices feature a flag
output (FLAG) that asserts during fault conditions.
For reverse-voltage protection, external back-to-back
MOSFETs outperform the traditional reverse-battery
diode, minimizing the voltage drop and power dissipa-
tion during normal operation.
The MAX16126/MAX16127 use external resistors to
adjust the overvoltage and undervoltage comparator
thresholds for maximum flexibility.
The MAX16127 provides limiter-mode fault manage-
ment for overvoltage and thermal shutdown conditions;
whereas the MAX16126 provides switch-mode fault
management for overvoltage and thermal shutdown con-
ditions. In the limiter mode, the output voltage is limited
and
FLAG
is asserted low during a fault. In the switch
mode, the external MOSFETs are switched off and
FLAG
is asserted low after a fault. The switch mode is available
in four options: latch mode, 1 autoretry mode, 3 autoretry
mode, and always autoretry mode.
The MAX16126/MAX16127 are available in 12-pin TQFN
packages. These devices operate over the automotive
temperature range (-40NC to +125NC).

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional opera-
tion 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.
