General Description
The MAX16010–MAX16014 is a family of ultra-small, low-
power, overvoltage-protection circuits for high-voltage,
high-transient systems such as those found in telecom
and industrial applications. These devices operate over
a wide 5.5V to 72V supply voltage range, making them
also suitable for other applications such as battery stacks,
notebook computers, and servers.
The MAX16010 and MAX16011 offer two independent
comparators for monitoring both undervoltage and over-
voltage conditions. These comparators offer open-drain
outputs capable of handling voltages up to 72V. The
MAX16010 features complementary enable inputs (EN/
EN), while the MAX16011 features an active-high enable
input and a selectable active-high/low OUTB output.
The MAX16012 offers a single comparator and an
independent reference output. The reference output can
be directly connected to either the inverting or noninvert-
ing input to select the comparator output logic.
The MAX16013 and MAX16014 are overvoltage-
protection circuits that are capable of driving two
p-channel MOSFETs to prevent reverse-battery and
overvoltage conditions. One MOSFET (P1) eliminates the
need for external diodes, thus minimizing the input volt-
age drop. The second MOSFET (P2) isolates the load or
regulates the output voltage during an overvoltage condi-
tion. The MAX16014 keeps the MOSFET (P2) latched off
until the input power is cycled.
The MAX16010 and MAX16011 are available in small
8-pin TDFN packages, while the MAX16012–MAX16014
are available in small 6-pin TDFN packages. These
devices are fully specified from -40°C to +125°C.

Pin Description
Detailed Description
The MAX16010–MAX16014 is a family of ultra-small,
low-power, overvoltage-protection circuits for high-
voltage, high-transient systems such as those found in
automotive, telecom, and industrial applications. These
devices operate over a wide 5.5V to 72V supply voltage
range, making them also suitable for other applications
such as battery stacks, notebook computers, and servers.
The MAX16010 and MAX16011 offer two independent
comparators for monitoring both undervoltage and over-
voltage conditions. These comparators offer open-drain
outputs capable of handling voltages up to 72V. The
MAX16010 features complementary enable inputs (EN/
EN), while the MAX16011 features an active-high enable
input and a selectable active-high/low OUTB output.
The MAX16012 offers a single comparator and an inde-
pendent reference output. The reference output can be
directly connected to either the inverting or noninverting
input to select the comparator output logic.
The MAX16013 and MAX16014 are overvoltage-
protection circuits capable of driving two p-channel
MOSFETs to prevent reverse-battery and overvoltage
conditions. One MOSFET (P1) eliminates the need for
external diodes, thus minimizing the input voltage drop.
While the second MOSFET (P2) isolates the load or
regulates the output voltage during an overvoltage condi-
tion. The MAX16014 keeps the MOSFET (P2) latched off
until the input power is cycled.
Voltage Monitoring
The MAX16010/MAX16011 include undervoltage and over-
voltage comparators for window detection (see Figure
1). OUT_ asserts high when the monitored voltage is
within the selected “window.” OUTA asserts low when the
monitored voltage falls below the lower (VTRIPLOW) limit of
the window, or OUTB asserts low if the monitored voltage
exceeds the upper limit (VTRIPHIGH). The application in
Figure 1 shows OUT_ enabling the DC-DC converter when
the monitored voltage is in the selected window.
The resistor values (R1R3) can be calculated as follows:



TOTAL

where RTOTAL = R1 + R2 + R3.
Use the following steps to determine the values for
R1–R3.
1) Choose a value for RTOTAL, the sum of R1, R2, and
R3. Because the MAX16010/MAX16011 have very
high input impedance, RTOTAL can be up to 5MΩ.
2) Calculate R3 based on RTOTAL and the desired upper
trip point:

3) Calculate R2 based on RTOTAL, R3, and the desired
lower trip point:
TH TOTAL

=
4) Calculate R1 based on RTOTAL, R3, and R2:
R1 = RTOTAL - R2 - R3
The MAX16012 has both inputs of the comparator avail-
able with an integrated 1.30V reference (REF). When
the voltage at IN+ is greater than the voltage at IN-, OUT
goes high. When the voltage at IN- is greater than the
voltage at IN+, OUT goes low. Connect REF to IN+ or
IN- to set the reference-voltage value. Use an external
resistive divider to set the monitored voltage threshold.

The MAX16013/MAX16014 can be configured as an
overvoltage switch controller to turn on/off a load (see
the Typical Application Circuit). When the programmed
overvoltage threshold is tripped, the internal fast compara-
tor turns off the external p-channel MOSFET (P2), pulling
GATE2 to VCC to disconnect the power source from the
load. When the monitored voltage goes below the adjusted
overvoltage threshold, the MAX16013 enhances GATE2,
reconnecting the load to the power source (toggle ENABLE
on the MAX16014 to reconnect the load). The MAX16013
can be configured as an overvoltage-limiter switch by
connecting the resistive divider to the load instead of VCC
(Figure 3). See the Overvoltage Limiter section.
Supply Voltage
Connect a 5.5V to 72V supply to VCC for proper opera-
tion. For noisy environments, bypass VCC to GND with
a 0.1μF or greater capacitor. When VCC falls below the
UVLO voltage, the following states are present (Table 1).
Hysteresis
Hysteresis adds noise immunity to the voltage monitors
and prevents oscillation due to repeated triggering when
the monitored voltage is near the threshold trip voltage.
The hysteresis in a comparator creates two trip points:
one for the rising input voltage (VTH+) and one for the
falling input voltage (VTH-). These thresholds are shown
in Figure 4.
Enable Inputs (EN or EN)
The MAX16011 offers an active-high enable input (EN),
while the MAX16010 offers both an active-high enable
input (EN) and an active-low enable input (EN). For the
MAX16010, drive EN low or EN high to force the output
low. When the device is enabled (EN = high and EN =
low) the state of OUTA and OUTB depends on the INA+
and INB- logic states.

For the MAX16011, drive EN low to force OUTA low,
OUTB low when LOGIC = low, and OUTB high when
LOGIC = high. When the device is enabled (EN = high),
the state of OUTA and OUTB depends on the INA+, INB-,
and LOGIC input (see Table 2).
For the MAX16013/MAX16014, drive EN low to pull
GATE2 to VCC, turning off the p-channel MOSFET (P2).
When the device is enabled (EN = high), GATE2 is pulled
to the greater of (VCC - 10V) or GND turning on the
external MOSFET (P2).
Applications Information
Input Transients Clamping
When the external MOSFET is turned off during an over-
voltage occurrence, stray inductance in the power path
may cause voltage ringing to exceed the MAX16013/
MAX16014 absolute maximum input (VCC) supply rating.
The following techniques are recommended to reduce the
effect of transients:
Minimize stray inductance in the power path using
wide traces, and minimize loop area including the
power traces and the return ground path.
Add a zener diode or transient voltage suppresser
(TVS) rated below VCC absolute maximum rating
(Figure 3).
Overvoltage Limiter
When operating in overvoltage-limiter mode, the MAX16013
drives the external p-channel MOSFET (P2), resulting in
the external MOSFET operating as a voltage regulator.
During normal operation, GATE2 is pulled to the greater
of (VCC - 10V) or GND. The external MOSFET’s drain
voltage is monitored through a resistor-divider between
the P2 output and SET. When the output voltage rises
above the adjusted overvoltage threshold, an internal
comparator pulls GATE2 to VCC. When the monitored
voltage goes below the overvoltage threshold, the
p-channel MOSFET (P2) is turned on again. This process
continues to keep the voltage at the output regulated to
within approximately a 5% window. The output voltage
is regulated during the overvoltage transients and the
MOSFET (P2) continues to conduct during the overvolt-
age event, operating in switched-linear mode.
Caution must be exercised when operating the MAX16013
in voltage-limiting mode for long durations due to the
MOSFET’s power-dissipation consideration (see the
MOSFET Selection and Operation section).
MOSFET Selection and Operation
(MAX16013 and MAX16014)
Most battery-powered applications must include reverse-
voltage protection. Many times this is implemented with a
diode in series with the battery. The disadvantage in using
a diode is the forward-voltage drop of the diode, which
reduces the operating voltage available to downstream
circuits (VLOAD = VBATTERY - VDIODE). The MAX16013
and MAX16014 include high-voltage GATE1 drive circuitry,
allowing users to replace the high-voltage-drop series diode
with a low-voltage-drop MOSFET device (as shown in the
Typical Operating Circuit and Figure 3). The forward-voltage
drop is reduced to ILOAD x RDS-ON of P1. With a suitably
chosen MOSFET, the voltage drop can be reduced to
millivolts.
In normal operating mode, internal GATE1 output
circuitry enhances P1 to a 10V gate-to-source (VGS) for 11V
< VCC < 72V. The constant 10V enhancement ensures P1
operates in a low RDS-ON mode, but the gate-source
junction is not overstressed during high-battery-voltage
applications or transients (many MOSFET devices specify
a ±20V VGS absolute maximum). As VCC drops below
10V, GATE1 is limited to GND, reducing P1 VGS to VCC
- GND. In normal operation, the P1 power dissipation is
very low:
P1 = ILOAD2 x RDS-ON
During reverse-battery applications, GATE1 is limited to
GND and the P1 gate-source junction is reverse biased.
P1 is turned off and neither the MAX16013/MAX16014
nor the load circuitry is exposed to the reverse-battery
voltage. Care should be taken to place P1 (and its internal
drain-to-source diode) in the correct orientation for proper
reverse-battery operation.
P2 protects the load from input overvoltage conditions.
During normal operating modes (the monitored voltage
is below the adjusted overvoltage threshold), internal

GATE2 output circuitry enhances P2 to a 10V gate-to-
source (VGS) for 11V < VCC < 72V. The constant 10V
enhancement ensures P2 operates in a low RDS-ON
mode, but the gate-to-source junction is not overstressed
during high-battery-voltage applications (many pFET
devices specify a ±20V VGS absolute maximum). As VCC
drops below 10V, GATE2 is limited to GND, reducing P2
VGS to VCC - GND. In normal operation, the P2 power
dissipation is very low:
P2 = ILOAD2 x RDS-ON
During overvoltage conditions, P2 is either turned com-
pletely off (overvoltage-switch mode) or cycled off-on-off
(voltage-limiter mode). Care should be taken to place
P2 (and its internal drain-to-source diode) in the correct
orientation for proper overvoltage-protection opera-
tion. During voltage-limiter mode, the drain of P2 is
limited to the adjusted overvoltage threshold, while the
battery (VCC) voltage rises. During prolonged overvoltage
events, P2 temperature can increase rapidly due to the
high power dissipation. The power dissipated by P2 is:
P2 = VDS-P2 x ILOAD
= (VCC - VOV-ADJUSTED) x ILOAD
where VCC ~ VBATTERY and VOV-ADJUSTED is the
desired load-limit voltage. For prolonged overvoltage
events with high P2 power dissipation, proper heatsinking
is required.
Adding External Pullup Resistors
It may be necessary to add an external resistor from VCC
to GATE1 to provide enough additional pullup capability
when the GATE1 input goes high. The GATE_ output
can only source up to 1μA current. If the source current
is less than 1μA, no external resistor may be necessary.
However, to improve the pullup capability of the GATE_
output when it goes high, connect an external resistor
between VCC and the GATE_. The application shows a
2MΩ resistor, which is large enough not to impact the
sinking capability of the GATE_ (during normal opera-
tion), while providing enough pullup during an overvoltage
event. With an 11V (worst case) VCC-to-gate clamp volt-
age and a sinking current of 75μA, the smallest resistor
should be 11V/75μA, or about 147kΩ. However, since the
GATE_ is typically low most of the time, a higher value
should be used to reduce overall power consumption.
