MAX16141AAF+

OR Controllers, Ideal Diodes Overview

The MAX16141AAF+ is a hot-swap voltage controller designed for N+1 redundancy and ORing applications. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3.5 V to 36 V, supporting input protection up to 60 V. The device features an integrated charge pump that drives external N-channel MOSFETs with a gate voltage of V(IN) + 8 V, minimizing conduction losses. Key electrical parameters include a typical shutdown current of 5 µA and a power supply current of 2.1 mA. It provides comprehensive fault protection including overcurrent, reverse current, overvoltage, undervoltage, and thermal shutdown, with configurable thresholds.
