MAX4838AELT+T

Power Management - Specialized Overview

The MAX4838AELT+T is an overvoltage protection controller from Analog Devices/Maxim Integrated, designed to safeguard low-voltage systems against transient voltages up to 28V. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.2V to 28V and features a typical supply current of 80µA. The component is housed in a surface-mount 6-WFDFN package and supports operation across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Power Management - Specialized Feature Summary

• Provides robust protection for low-voltage electronic systems against high-voltage transients
• Capable of withstanding input voltages up to 28V during fault conditions
• Designed for minimal power consumption with ultra-low standby current

Power Management - Specialized Applications

• Overvoltage protection controllers for industrial equipment
• Protection circuits for automotive electronics
• Power management systems requiring transient voltage suppression

Power Management - Specialized Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ELT' corresponds to the 6-WFDFN package and lead-free RoHS compliance when sourcing. Confirm that the '+T' designation indicates tape-and-reel packaging if reel quantities are required for automated assembly processes.

Power Management - Specialized Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring compact surface-mount solutions with high voltage tolerance. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -40°C to +85°C range and that the system voltage does not exceed the 28V absolute maximum rating.

Power Management - Specialized Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX4838–MAX4842 family of overvoltage protection ICs. These devices are engineered to protect sensitive loads by disconnecting them from the power source when excessive voltage is detected, ensuring system integrity in harsh electrical environments.

Power Management - Specialized Replacement Considerations

Consult official documentation for direct pin-compatible substitutes within the MAX4838 series. Verify package dimensions and thermal characteristics before replacing with other manufacturers' overvoltage protection controllers.
