The MAX1562ESA+ is a 3A programmable USB current limited switch with auto-reset and fault blanking in 8 pin NSOIC package. This single current limited switch provides up to 3A current to power up to eight USB ports. It consumes only 40µA of quiescent current when operating and only 3µA in shutdown mode. The auto-reset feature latches switch off if output is shorted thereby saving system power. The switch is reactivated when the short is removed. A fault blanking feature enables circuit to ignore momentary faults such as those caused when hot swapping capacitive load by preventing false alarms to the host system. The built-in thermal overload protection turns off switch when die temperature exceeds 160°C. Accurate internal current limiting circuitry protects input supply against both overload and short circuit conditions. An open drain fault signal (active-low FAULT) notifies microprocessor when thermal overload, current limit, undervoltage lockout (UVLO) or short circuit fault occurs.
