MAX6496ATA+T - Overvoltage Protection Controller from Maxim Integrated

The MAX6496ATA+T is an advanced overvoltage protection controller designed by Maxim Integrated to safeguard low-voltage systems against high-voltage faults up to 72V. This compact, high-performance component is ideal for automotive, industrial, and other applications that require robust protection against voltage transients.

Operating from a supply voltage range of 6V to 72V, the MAX6496ATA+T is capable of protecting downstream circuitry from voltage spikes and surges, ensuring the reliability and longevity of electronic systems. Its low quiescent current makes it suitable for battery-powered devices where power efficiency is critical.

This overvoltage protection controller features an integrated MOSFET that can disconnect the load in the event of an overvoltage condition, thereby preventing potential damage. The MAX6496ATA+T also includes an overvoltage lockout (OVLO) feature that ensures the load remains disconnected until the input voltage falls below a safe threshold.

With its adjustable overvoltage protection threshold, the MAX6496ATA+T can be tailored to specific application requirements. Designers can set the desired protection level using external resistors, providing flexibility in various design scenarios.

The device is offered in a small 8-pin TDFN package, which is ideal for space-constrained applications. Its temperature range of -40°C to +125°C allows for operation in environments that experience extreme temperature variations, making it a versatile choice for harsh conditions.

Key features of the MAX6496ATA+T include:

• Wide operating voltage range of 6V to 72V
• Integrated MOSFET for load disconnection
• Adjustable overvoltage protection threshold
• Low quiescent current for power efficiency
• Overvoltage lockout (OVLO) feature
• Compact 8-pin TDFN package
• Extended temperature range of -40°C to +125°C

Whether used in automotive power systems, industrial controls, or portable devices, the MAX6496ATA+T from Maxim Integrated provides reliable overvoltage protection to maintain system integrity and prevent costly damage due to electrical transients.
