The MAX4838A/MAX4840A/MAX4842A are overvoltage-

protection ICs that protect low-voltage systems against

voltages of up to +28V. If the input voltage exceeds the

overvoltage trip level, the MAX4838A/MAX4840A/

MAX4842A turn off the low-cost external n-channel

FET(s) to prevent damage to the protected components.

An internal charge pump eliminates the need for external

capacitors and drives the FET gate for a simple,

robust solution.

The MAX4838A has a 7.4V overvoltage threshold, and

the MAX4840A has a 5.8V overvoltage threshold. The

MAX4842A has a 4.7V overvoltage threshold. The

MAX4838A/MAX4840A have an undervoltage-lockout

(UVLO) threshold of 3.25V, while the MAX4842A has a

UVLO of 2.5V. In addition to the single FET configura-

tion, the devices can be configured with back-to-back

external FETs to prevent currents from being back-dri-

ven into the adapter.

On power-up, the device waits for 50ms before driving

GATE high. FLAG is held low for an additional 50ms

after GATE goes high before deasserting. The

MAX4838A/MAX4840A/MAX4842A have an open-drain

FLAG output. The FLAG output asserts immediately to

an overvoltage fault.

Additional features include a ±15kV (HBM) ESD-pro-

tected input (when bypassed with a 1µF capacitor) and

a shutdown pin (EN) to turn off the device.

All devices are offered in a small 6-pin SC70 and 6-pin

1.5mm x 1.0mm µDFN packages and are specified

over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range.
