General Description

The MAX16913/MAX16913A high-voltage high-side current-sense switches feature internal current limiting to prevent system damage due to fault conditions. The MAX16913/MAX16913A input voltage range extends from 5V to 18V, making them ideal for providing phantom power to remote radio-frequency low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) in automotive applications.

Features

♦ Switch Phantom Power-On/-Off Under µC Control

♦ Analog Current Measurement Output

♦ Adjustable Current Limiting (340mA Maximum)

♦ Detect Open-Load and Short-Circuit Conditions

♦ Provide Open-Drain Fault Signals (SC and OL)

♦ Overcurrent Blanking During Startup

♦ Thermal Shutdown

♦ AEC-Q100 Qualified (/V Versions Only)

♦ -40°C to +105°C Operating Temperature Range
