Maxim's MAX14527/MAX14528 overvoltage protection ICs feature 100mohm (typ) RON internal FET and protect low-voltage systems against voltage faults up to +28V. When the input voltage exceeds the overvoltage threshold, the internal FET is turned off to prevent damage to the protected components.
The overvoltage protection threshold can be adjusted with optional external resistors to any voltage between 4V and 8V. With the OVLO input set below the external OVLO select voltage, the MAX14527/MAX14528 automatically choose the internal ±2.5% accurate trip thresholds. The internal overvoltage thresholds (OVLO) are preset to 5.75V typical (MAX14527) or 6.76V typical (MAX14528). The MAX14527/MAX14528 are also protected against overcurrent events with an internal thermal shutdown.
The MAX14527/MAX14528 are offered in a small, 8-pin TDFN-EP package and operate over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range.
