MAX16971AGEEB/V+

Overview

The MAX16971AGEEB/V+ is an automotive USB protector featuring integrated CD and DCP auto-detection. It provides high-ESD and short-circuit protection for low-voltage internal USB data and power lines in automotive radios. The device operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and holds AEC-Q100 qualification. It is housed in a 16-pin QSOP package with a 150-mil body width.

Feature Summary

• Integrates automatic detection for Charging Downstream Port (CDP) and Dedicated Charging Port (DCP) standards.
• Provides robust electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection for sensitive USB interfaces.
• Includes built-in short-circuit protection mechanisms for the USB power line.

Applications

• Automotive radio systems
• USB port protection in vehicle infotainment units
• Low-voltage internal USB data line protection

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to discontinuation status. Confirm AEC-Q100 qualification documentation matches specific lot requirements. Ensure compatibility with existing QSOP-16 footprint designs. Review datasheet for updated handling precautions regarding ESD sensitivity during assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring certified automotive-grade USB protection with automatic charging protocol detection. Consider the 16-pin QSOP package constraints for PCB layout. Evaluate thermal performance within the specified -40°C to +105°C operating range. Verify that the integrated protection features meet the specific ESD immunity requirements of the target system design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX16970/MAX16971 series designed for automotive environments. It serves as a specialized power management IC focused on interface protection rather than general voltage regulation. The series addresses the need for reliable USB connectivity in harsh automotive conditions while maintaining compliance with industry safety standards.

Replacement Considerations
