MAX17526AATP+

Overview

The MAX17526AATP+ is a power load distribution switch featuring a low on-resistance internal N-channel FET. It operates with an input voltage range of 5.5V to 60V and supports up to 6A output current. The device includes adjustable input overvoltage and undervoltage protection, positive and negative input voltage protection, and overcurrent protection. It utilizes a 20-pin TQFN package with an exposed pad for thermal management.

Feature Summary

• Integrated power limiter with robust fault protection mechanisms
• Wide input-supply voltage range supporting industrial applications
• Low RON internal NFET for efficient power management

Applications

• Industrial Power Distribution Systems
• Control and Automation
• Motion Control Drives
• Human Machine Interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' if tape-and-reel packaging is required, as the base part number may denote tray packaging. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors or Analog Devices. Ensure the operating temperature range meets system requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component for high-voltage DC-DC load distribution where precise current limiting and fault protection are critical. The wide input voltage range accommodates various industrial bus voltages. Consider the thermal performance of the 20-TQFN package when designing PCB layouts for continuous high-current operation.

Part Context

This device belongs to the Himalaya family of power modules from Maxim Integrated, now part of Analog Devices. It is designed for robust power distribution in harsh environments. The part integrates control logic with power switching elements to provide comprehensive protection against electrical faults in complex systems.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible substitutes within the MAX17526 series or similar Himalaya power switches. Verify that alternative parts match the 60V input rating and 6A current capacity. Ensure replacement components support the same TQFN-EP-20 package footprint.
