MAX4828ELT+T

Current Regulation/Management Overview

The MAX4828ELT+T is a current-limiting power distribution switch manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. (Maxim Integrated). It operates within an input voltage range of 2.3V to 5.5V and provides precise current limiting for 50mA or 100mA loads. The device features a compact 6-UDFN package, designed for efficient power management in portable electronics.

Current Regulation/Management Feature Summary

• Integrated current limiting functionality for load protection
• Operates with low supply voltages suitable for battery-powered systems
• Compact surface-mount packaging for space-constrained designs

Current Regulation/Management Applications

• Portable electronic devices requiring precise current control
• Low-power embedded systems needing load protection
• Battery-operated equipment with strict power management requirements

Current Regulation/Management Procurement Notes

Verify the specific current limit variant (50mA or 100mA) required for your application, as the part number suffix may denote different current thresholds. Confirm package availability and lead times directly with authorized distributors, as stock levels fluctuate. Ensure compatibility with your system's voltage range before procurement.

Current Regulation/Management Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits that require hardware-based overcurrent protection for low-voltage loads. Consider the trade-off between the 50mA and 100mA variants based on your maximum load current needs. Evaluate the thermal performance within the 6-UDFN package if high ambient temperatures are expected.

Current Regulation/Management Part Context

This part belongs to Maxim Integrated's family of power distribution switches, which integrate short-circuit protection and current limiting into a small footprint. These components are commonly used to protect downstream circuitry from faults while maintaining a minimal board area impact compared to discrete solutions.

Current Regulation/Management Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives within the same product family that offer similar current limits. Verify that any substitute maintains the 2.3V to 5.5V operating range and compatible package dimensions.
