Current-Limited, High-Side
P-Channel Switches with Thermal Shutdown
The MAX891L/MAX892L P-channel MOSFET power
switches limit output current to a user-programmed
level. When the output current is increased beyond
the set current level, the current is also increased
through the replica switch (I

These switches are not bidirectional; therefore, the
input voltage must be higher than the output voltage.

The MAX891L/MAX892L are short-circuit-protected
switches. In the event of an output short circuit or cur-
rent-overload condition, the current through the switch is
limited by the internal current-limiting error amplifier to
