MAX5995BETE+T

Overview

The MAX5995BETE+T is a low-voltage, dual hot-swap controller manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. under the Maxim Integrated brand. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1V to 13.2V and features two independent channels with adjustable current limiting. The device is housed in a 16-pin QSOP package and supports surface-mount installation. It functions across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, drawing a typical operating supply current of 1.2mA. Key capabilities include power-fail detection and a maximum power dissipation of 667mW.

Feature Summary

• Dual-channel architecture for independent hot-swap control
• Adjustable current limiting for precise load protection
• Integrated power-fail detection circuitry
• Low quiescent current operation

Applications

• Telecommunications equipment power distribution
• Industrial control system backplanes
• Embedded systems requiring safe insertion/removal

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E' indicates the commercial temperature grade and 'EE+' denotes the lead-free QSOP-16 package configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure design compatibility with the specified 1V to 13.2V input range and thermal requirements for the target application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel hot-swap protection is required for low-voltage applications. It is suitable for designs needing adjustable current limits and power-fail signaling. Consider the QSOP-16 package constraints and the -40°C to +85°C operating range against alternative packages or extended temperature variants if environmental conditions exceed these specifications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX5955 series of low-voltage hot-swap controllers. It provides robust protection for downstream circuits during live insertion events. The device integrates essential monitoring features to prevent bus collapse and ensure system reliability in multi-board architectures.
