General Description
The MAX1607 is a current-limited 60mΩswitch with
built-in fault blanking. Its accurate, preset 0.7A to 1.0A
current limit makes it ideal for USB applications. Its low
quiescent supply current (14µA) and standby current
(1µA) conserve battery power in portable applications.
The MAX1607 operates with inputs from +2.7V to
+5.5V, making it ideal for both 3V and 5V systems.
An overcurrent signal (OC) notifies the microprocessor
that the internal current limit has been reached. A 10ms
overcurrent-blanking feature allows momentary faults
(such as those caused when hot-swapping into a
capacitive load) to be ignored, thus preventing false
alarms to the host system. This blanking also prevents
an OC signal from being issued when the device is
powering up.
The MAX1607 has several safety features to ensure that
the USB port is protected. Built-in thermal-overload pro-
tection limits power dissipation and junction temperature.
The device also has accurate internal current-limiting
circuitry to protect the input supply against overload.
The MAX1607 is a pin-compatible upgrade to Texas
Instruments’ TPS2014, TPS2015, and TPS2041 for USB
applications. The same die is available in a space-sav-
ing 10-pin µMAX®package (MAX1693) and can be
used for next-generation designs. The MAX1694 is sim-
ilar to the MAX1693, but it has a built-in latch that turns
off the power switch in case of a long-term short-
circuit condition.
The MAX1607 is also offered in a 10-pin TDFN package
(not pin compatible with Texas Instruments TPS2014,
TPS2015, and TPS2041 for USB applications).

USB Current-Limited Switch

Detailed Description
The MAX1607 P-channel MOSFET power switch limits
output current to 0.7A min and 1.0A max. When the out-
put current is increased beyond the current limit (ILIMIT),
the current also increases through the replica switch
(IOUT / 6500). The current-limit error amplifier compares
the voltage to the internal 1.24V reference and regu-
lates the current back to the ILIMIT (Figure 1).
These switches are not bidirectional; therefore, the
input voltage must be higher than the output voltage.
Continuous Short-Circuit Protection
The MAX1607 is a short-circuit-protected switch. In the
event of an output short-circuit condition, the current
through the switch is foldback-current-limited to 500mA
continuous.
Thermal Shutdown
The MAX1607 has a thermal shutdown feature. The
switch turns off and the OC output goes low immediate-
ly (no overcurrent blanking) when the junction tempera-
ture exceeds +165°C. When the MAX1607 cools 20°C,
the switch turns back on. If the fault short-circuit condi-
tion is not removed, the switch will cycle on and off,
resulting in a pulsed output.
OC
Indicator
The MAX1607 provides an overcurrent output (OC). A
100kΩpull-up resistor from OC to IN provides a logic
control signal. This open-drain output goes low when
any of the following conditions occur:
•The input voltage is below the 2.4V undervoltage-
lockout (UVLO) threshold.
•The die temperature exceeds the thermal shutdown
temperature limit of +165°C.
•The device is in current limit for greater than 10ms.
OC
Blanking
The MAX1607 features 10ms overcurrent blanking.
Blanking allows brief current-limit faults, including
momentary short-circuit faults that occur when hot-
swapping a capacitive load, and also ensures that no
OC is issued during power-up. When a load transient
causes the device to enter current limit, an internal

counter starts. If the load fault persists beyond the
10ms overcurrent-blanking timeout, the OC output
asserts low. Ensure that the MAX1607 input is ade-
quately bypassed to prevent input glitches from trigger-
ing spurious OC outputs. Input voltage glitches less
than 150mV will not cause a spurious OC output. Load-
transient faults less than 10ms (typ) will not cause an
OC output assertion.
Only current-limit faults are blanked. Die overtempera-
ture faults and input voltage droops below the UVLO
threshold will cause an immediate OC output.
Applications Information
Input Capacitor
To limit the input voltage drop during momentary output
short-circuit conditions, connect a capacitor from IN to
GND. A 1µF ceramic capacitor will be adequate for
most applications; however, higher capacitor values will
further reduce the voltage drop at the input (Figure 2).
Output Capacitor
Connect a 0.1µF capacitor from OUT to GND. This
capacitor helps to prevent inductive parasitics from
pulling OUT negative during turn-off.
Layout and Thermal Dissipation
Important: Optimize the switch response time to output
short-circuit conditions by keeping all traces as short
as possible to reduce the effect of undesirable parasitic
inductance. Place input and output capacitors as close
as possible to the device (no more than 5mm away). All
IN and OUT pins must be connected with short traces
to the power bus. Wide power-bus planes will provide
superior heat dissipation through the MAX1607’s IN
and OUT pins.
Under normal operating conditions, the package can
dissipate and channel heat away. Calculate the maxi-
mum power dissipation as follows:
P = (ILIMIT)2✕RON
where ILIMIT is the preset current limit (1.0A max) and
RON is the on-resistance of the switch (125mΩmax).
When the output is short circuited, foldback-current lim-
iting activates and the voltage drop across the switch
equals the input supply. The power dissipated across
the switch increases, as does the die temperature. If
the fault condition is not removed, the thermal-over-
load-protection circuitry activates (see Thermal
Shutdown section). Wide power-bus planes connected
to IN and OUT and a ground plane in contact with the
device will help dissipate additional heat.
