Overvoltage Protection Controllers with
Low Standby Current
General Description
The MAX4843–MAX4846 overvoltage protection con-
trollers protect low-voltage systems against high-voltage
faults of up to 28V. When the input voltage exceeds the
overvoltage threshold, these devices turn off a low-cost,
external n-channel FET(s) to prevent damage to the pro-
tected components. An internal charge pump eliminates
the need for external capacitors and drives the FET gate
for a simple, robust solution.
The overvoltage trip level is set to 7.4V (MAX4843),
6.35V (MAX4844), 5.8V (MAX4845), or 4.65V
(MAX4846). When the input voltage drops below the
undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold, the devices
enter a low standby current mode (10µA). The
MAX4843/MAX4844/ MAX4845 have a UVLO threshold
of 4.15V, and the MAX4846 has a UVLO threshold of
2.5V. In addition to the single FET configuration, the
devices can be configured with back-to-back external
FETs to prevent currents from being back-driven into the
adapter.
An additional feature includes a ±15kV ESD-protected
input when bypassed with a 1µF capacitor to ground. All
devices are offered in a small (1.5mm x 1.0mm) 6-pin
µDFN package and are specified for operation over the
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.

FUNCTION
Voltage Input. IN is both the power-supply input and the overvoltage sense input. Bypass IN to GND with
a 1µF capacitor or larger.
Ground
Fault Indication Output. FLAG is asserted high during undervoltage lockout and overvoltage lockout
conditions. FLAG is deasserted during normal operation. FLAG is an open-drain output.
Gate-Drive Output. GATE is the output of an on-chip charge pump. When V
UVLO
< V
IN
< V
OVLO
, GATE is
driven high to turn on the external n-channel MOSFET(s).
No Connection. Not internally connected.
