The MAX1838 is a dual, current-limited switch with
auxiliary inputs designed for USB applications. It has
two independent channels, each with its own fault-
blanking and autoreset function. Each channel has an
error flag output to notify the USB controller when the
current limit, short circuit, undervoltage lockout, or ther-
mal shutdown threshold is reached. A single input
enables both channels. The MAX1838 supplies the out-
puts from one of two inputs, IN or AUX, selected by
SEL (Table 1).

Current-Limit Adjust for Channel A. When operating from auxiliary input, adjust the current limit by
connecting a resistor from ADJA to GND as shown in Programmable Current Limit.
Fault Indicator Output for Channel A. This open-drain output goes low when channel A is in
thermal shutdown or undervoltage lockout or in a sustained (>20ms) current-limit or short-circuit
condition.

The MAX1838 operates from 4V to 5.5V input voltage
range and guarantees a 500mA (min) output current. A
0.9A built-in current limit limits the current in the event
of a heavy overload condition. When powering the
switches from the auxiliary input, each channel has an
adjustable current limit. The MAX1838 has independent
thermal shutdown for each channel in the event of a
prolonged overload or short-circuit condition. The
autoreset function monitors the overload and automati-
cally turns the switch on when the overload is removed.
Use of internal, low-R
MAX1838 to provide four switches in the small 16-pin
QSOP package. Internal micropower charge pumps
generate the gate drive of these high-side switches.
Separate current limiting and thermal shutdown circuits
permit each switch to operate independently, improv-
ing system robustness.
The MAX1838 operates in one of three modes (Table 1).
The device receives its supply current from the AUX
input. When V
lockout voltage, the MAX1838 shuts down to prevent
erroneous switch operation.
