The MAX4840EXT+T is an overvoltage protection controller with status FLAG in 6 pin SC-70 package. The device protects low voltage systems against voltages of up to 28V. If the input voltage exceeds overvoltage trip level, the MAX4840 turns off the low cost external N-channel FET to prevent damage to protected components. An internal charge pump eliminates the need for external capacitors and drives FET gate for a simple and robust solution. In addition to single FET configuration, the device can be configured with back to back external FETs to prevent currents from being back-driven into adapter. On power-up, the device waits for 50ms before driving GATE high. The active-low FLAG is held low for an additional 50ms after GATE goes high before deasserting. The MAX4840 has an open-drain active-low FLAG output. The active-low FLAG output asserts immediately to an overvoltage fault.
