200mA/500mA Selectable
Current-Limit Switches
General Description
The MAX4772/MAX4773 switches feature selectable
internal current limiting to prevent damage to host
devices due to faulty load conditions. The
MAX4772/MAX4773 include a logic input to select a
guaranteed 200mA or 500mA current limit, making them
ideal for SDIO and other load-switching applications.
These analog switches have a low 0.2Ω on-resistance
and operate from a 2.0V to 4.5V input voltage range.
When the switch is on and a load is connected to the
port, a guaranteed blanking time of 14ms ensures that
the transient voltage settles down. If, after this blanking
time, the load current is greater than the current limit,
the MAX4772 switch is turned off and issues a
FLAG
to
the microprocessor. The switch can be turned on again
by cycling the power or the ON input.
The MAX4773 has an autoretry feature where the switch
turns off and issues a
FLAG
to the microprocessor after
the blanking time and then continuously checks to see if
the overload condition is present. The switch remains
on after the overload condition disappears and
FLAG
deasserts.
The MAX4772/MAX4773 are available in tiny space-sav-
ing 6-pin SOT23 and 6-pin TDFN (3mm x 3mm) pack-
ages.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 1:
All parts are 100% tested at +25°C. Electrical limits across the full temperature range are guaranteed by design and corre-
lation.
Note 2:
Latch-off current does not include the current flowing into
FLAG.
Note 3:
TDFN parts are guaranteed by design.
Note 4:
The on-time is defined as the time taken for the current through the switch to go from 0mA to full load. The off-time is defined
as the time taken for the current through the switch to go from full load to 0mA.
Note 5:
Retry time is typically 15 times the blanking time (typ).

Active-High Switch-On Input. A logic high turns the switch on.
Fault Output. This open-drain output goes low when the device stays in forward or reverse current limit
for more than the blanking time period.
FLAG
is high impedance when a fault is not present or when
ON is low.
Current-Limit Threshold Selection. Connect to logic-low level or leave floating to select 200mA current-
limit threshold. Connect to logic-high level to select 500mA current-limit threshold.
