Overvoltage-Protection Controllers with
Internal FET
General Description
The MAX4943–MAX4946/MAX4949 family of overvolt-
age-protection devices feature a low 80mΩ (typ) R
ON
internal FET and protect low-voltage systems against
voltage faults up to +28V. These devices also drive an
optional external pFET to protect down to -28V when
connected to a load with reverse current protection.
When the input voltage exceeds the overvoltage thresh-
old, the internal FET is turned off to prevent damage to
the protected components.
All switches feature a minimum 1.2A current-limit pro-
tection. During a short-circuit occurrence, the
MAX4944B and MAX4945B place the switch in a
latchoff state where the switch turns off and remains off.
For the autoretry devices, the switch turns off and con-
tinuously checks after a 15ms (typ) retry time.
The overvoltage thresholds (OVLO) are preset to 7.4V,
6.35V, 5.8V, 4.56V, or 8.9V. The undervoltage-lockout
(UVLO) thresholds are preset to 2.45V and 4.15V.
When the input voltage drops below the undervoltage-
lockout (UVLO) threshold, the devices enter a low-
current standby mode. (See the
Ordering Information/
Selector Guide
for more details on UVLO/OVLO).
All devices are offered in a small, 8-pin µDFN (2mm x
2mm) package and are specified for operation over the
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Pin Description
PIN
NAME
FUNCTION
Voltage Input. IN powers the charge pump required to turn on the internal switch. When the correct
adapter is plugged in, a 15ms (typ) debouncer prevents false turn-on of the internal switch. Bypass
IN to GND with a 1µF ceramic capacitor as close as possible to the device to enable ±15kV (HBM)
ESD protection on IN.
pFET Gate-Drive Output. GP pulls the external pFET gate down when the input is above ground.
Active-Low Open-Drain Adapter-Voltage Indicator Output.
ACOK
is driven low after the adapter
voltage is stable between V
UVLO
and V
OVLO
for 30ms (typ). Connect a pullup resistor from
ACOK
to
the logic I/O voltage of the host system.
Ground
Output Voltage. Output of internal switch. Short all pins together for proper operation.

Detailed Description
The MAX4943–MAX4946/MAX4949 overvoltage-protec-
tion devices feature a low R
ON
internal FET and protect
low-voltage systems against voltage faults up to +28V. If
the input voltage exceeds the overvoltage threshold, the
internal MOSFET is turned off to prevent damage to the
protected components. These devices also drive an
optional external pFET to protect down to -28V. If the
adapter voltage drops below ground, the pFET turns off
to prevent damage to the protected components due to
negative voltage exposure. The internal charge pump’s
15ms (typ) debounce time prevents false turn-on of the
internal switch during startup. An open-drain, active-low
logic output is available to signal that a successful
power-up has occurred.
