MAX8535/MAX8536/MAX8585
Critical loads often employ parallel-connected power
supplies with redundancy in order to enhance system
reliability. The MAX8535/MAX8536/MAX8585 are highly
integrated but inexpensive MOSFET controllers that pro-
vide isolation and redundant power capability in high-reli-
ability systems. The MAX8535/MAX8585 are used in 12V
systems, and have an internal charge pump to drive the
gates of the n-channel pass elements to V
CC
+ 10V. The
MAX8536 is used in 3.3V and 5V systems, with a charge-
pump output of V
CC
+ 5V.
During startup, the MAX8535/MAX8536/MAX8585 moni-
tor the voltage drop across external MOSFETs. Once
V
CC
approaches or exceeds the bus voltage, the
MOSFETs are turned on. The MAX8535/MAX8536/
MAX8585 feature a dual-purpose TIMER input. A single
external resistor from TIMER to ground sets the turn-on
speed of the external MOSFETs. Optionally, the TIMER
input can be used as a logic-enable pin. Once the
device is turned on, the MAX8535/MAX8536/MAX8585
monitor the load, protecting against overvoltage, under-
voltage, and reverse-current conditions.
Overvoltage and undervoltage fault thresholds are
adjustable and can be disabled. The current-limit trip
points are set by the external MOSFETs’ R
DS(ON)
,
reducing component count. An open-drain logic-low
fault output indicates if an overvoltage, undervoltage, or
reverse-current fault occurs.
All devices come in a space-saving 8-pin µMAX
®
package and are specified over the extended -40°C to
+85°C temperature range.

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.
