MAX4772EUT+T

Current Regulation/Management Overview

The MAX4772EUT+T is a power distribution switch IC from Analog Devices, designed for low-voltage applications. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8 V to 5.5 V and features a single output channel. The device incorporates selectable current-limit thresholds, allowing configuration for either 200 mA or 500 mA protection levels via an external resistor. It exhibits a maximum on-resistance of 900 mOhms and supports fast switching with a typical turn-on time of 120 µs and turn-off time of 100 µs. Packaged in a compact SOT-23-6 surface-mount format, it functions reliably across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Current Regulation/Management Feature Summary

• Configurable current-limit protection with selectable 200 mA or 500 mA thresholds
• Low on-resistance for efficient power distribution
• Fast switching times for rapid load control

Current Regulation/Management Applications

• Portable electronics power management
• Battery-powered equipment load switching
• Peripheral circuit protection in consumer devices

Current Regulation/Management Procurement Notes

Verify the specific current-limit setting required for your application during procurement, as the MAX4772 allows selection between 200 mA and 500 mA thresholds. Confirm that the SOT-23-6 package aligns with your PCB layout constraints. Ensure compatibility with the 1.8 V to 5.5 V operating voltage range. Check for RoHS compliance status if mandated by your project specifications. Validate supplier authenticity through authorized channels to guarantee component integrity.

Current Regulation/Management Selection Notes

Select the MAX4772EUT+T when precise current limiting is necessary for protecting downstream loads in low-voltage systems. Consider this component if space efficiency is critical due to its small SOT-23-6 footprint. Evaluate the need for adjustable current limits versus fixed-limit alternatives. Assess thermal performance requirements given the on-resistance characteristics. Compare against other switches in the series for optimal cost-performance balance in portable designs.
