MAX16141AAAA/VY+T

OR Controllers, Ideal Diodes Overview

The MAX16141 is a hot-swap voltage controller designed for N+1 redundancy and ideal diode applications. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3.5V to 36V, supporting input protection voltages up to 60V. The device features a typical shutdown current of 5µA and utilizes an integrated charge pump to drive external N-channel MOSFETs with a gate voltage of V(IN) + 8V. It provides comprehensive system protection against reverse current, overcurrent, input overvoltage/undervoltage, and thermal conditions. The component is qualified to AEC-Q100 standards and functions reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C in a 16-TQFN package.
