MAX25410AGTEA/V+

Specialized ICS Overview

The MAX25410AGTEA/V+ is an automotive USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) Type-C port protector in a 16-pin TQFN-EP package. It integrates protection switches for CC1, CC2, D+, and D- signals, alongside a VCONN switch with advanced fault management that requires no dedicated supply. The device supports high-speed data transmission with a 1GHz bandwidth on the D+/D- lines. Electrical specifications include a VCC supply range of 4.7V to 5.5V and an operating current of 1.5mA. It provides ±15kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protection and overvoltage tolerance up to 24V on protected pins.

Specialized ICS Feature Summary

• Integrated USB Type-C CC1/CC2 and D+/D- protection switches with 1GHz bandwidth

• Supports USB BC1.2 CDP/DCP modes, Apple 2.4A, Samsung 2A, and China YD/T 1591-2009
• High ESD protection: ±15kV ISO 10605 Air Gap and ±8kV Contact

Specialized ICS Applications

• Automotive radio and navigation systems
• Automotive connectivity modules
• Automotive USB hubs and multimedia boxes

Specialized ICS Procurement Notes

Verify the component grade as Automotive and qualification status as AEC-Q100. Confirm the package type is 16-TQFN (4x4mm) with an exposed pad. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the specific variant requirements for VCONN enable logic levels.

Specialized ICS Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring integrated USB-PD protection without external discrete components. The MAX25410A variant features active-low VCONN enable pins, differing from the active-high MAX25410. Consider the MAX25410B if VCONN functionality is not required to reduce cost.

Specialized ICS Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX25410 family of automotive USB PD protectors. It serves as a single-chip solution for protecting upstream hosts against downstream faults. The AGTEA/V+ designation indicates the specific pin configuration and RoHS compliance status within the product line.

Specialized ICS FAQ

How does the device handle VCONN overcurrent?

It uses dual-threshold overcurrent protection: a low threshold of 250mA with a 400µs debounce to allow E-marked cable startup, and a high threshold of 600mA with a 5µs debounce for immediate short-circuit protection.

What is the default mode for the MAX25410AGTEA/V+ upon startup?

If the CDP/DCP pin is logic-low, the device defaults to Hi-Speed Pass-Through (SDP) mode, which facilitates immediate role swap compatibility for USB On-the-Go and Apple CarPlay applications.

Does the device require a dedicated power supply for the VCONN switch?

No, the MAX25410AGTEA/V+ includes a VCONN switch that draws power from the main VCC supply, eliminating the need for a separate dedicated voltage rail.
