FireWire Current Limiter and Low-Drop
ORing Switch Controller
General Description
The MAX5943 is a fully integrated power-management
IC for FireWire
®
applications. This device controls two
external power n-channel MOSFETs to regulate current
from the input power supply to the load and performs
low-voltage-drop, power-supply ORing. The MAX5943
operates over a 7.5V to 37V input range and provides
inrush and output current limit in addition to a diode
ORing function suitable for FireWire applications. The
MAX5943 FireWire/IEEE 1394™ protective circuit
(Figure 12) is UL
®
recognized.
The MAX5943 allows the safe insertion and removal of
FireWire peripherals into a live FireWire port by providing
inrush current control and an output current-limiting func-
tion. The ORing feature provides a very efficient way to
protect the FireWire port when connected to another
FireWire peripheral that sources a higher voltage. By turn-
ing off both external MOSFETS, the MAX5943 provides a
true bidirectional load disconnect. A low-current shut-
down mode disables the MAX5943, resulting in less than
10µA supply current. A pin-selectable input allows
latched or autoretry fault management after a fault.
The MAX5943A features a current-limit function that
actively limits the current drawn by the load with a pro-
grammable timeout. The MAX5943B–MAX5943E do not
actively limit the load current but provide a circuit-breaker
function. See the
Selector Guide
for the default and pro-
grammable circuit-breaker timeouts.
The MAX5943 operates over the -40°C to +85°C extended
temperature range and is available in a 16-pin QSOP
package.

.
The tristate (“floating”) logic condition will be entered if the pin current is within these limits.
R
TIM
is connected from TIM to GND. The maximum timeout period is enforced to prevent arbitrarily long operation in cur-
rent-limit mode. Therefore, the relationship between resistor value and timeout changes for large values of R
TIM
. See
Current-Limit Timeout vs. R
TIM
in the
Typical Operating Characteristics
for nominal values.
Note 8:
Parameter t
OFF
is a direct multiple of t
ILIM
(or t
CB
), so the limits for t
OFF
track the limits for t
ILIM
(or t
CB
).
Note 9:
If the ON voltage goes below V
ON_REF
- Hysteresis, then GATE2 goes low immediately to disconnect power from the load
quickly (within t
ON_OFF
).
