P-Channel Switch with Thermal Shutdown
The MAX890L P-channel MOSFET power switch limits
output current to a programmed level. When the output
current is increased beyond the programmed current
limit, or 1.2A (I
the replica switch (I
(Figure 1). The current-limit error amplifier compares
the voltage across R
ence and regulates the current back to the lesser of the
programmed limit (I
This switch is not bidirectional; therefore, the input volt-
age must be higher than the output voltage.
The MAX890L features internal current-limiting circuitry
with a maximum programmable value (I
For best performance, set the current limit (I
between 0.2 I
remains in effect throughout the input supply-voltage
range.
Program the current limit with a resistor (R
SET to ground (Figure 2) as follows:

The MAX890L is a short-circuit-protected switch. In the
event of an output short circuit or current-overload con-
dition, the current through the switch is limited by the
internal current-limiting error amplifier to 1.5 x I
When the fault condition is removed, the replica error
amplifier sets the current limit back to I
