General Description
The MAX4826–MAX4831 family of switches has internal
current limiting to prevent host devices from being
damaged due to faulty load conditions. These analog
switches have a low 0.7Ωon-resistance and operate
from a +2.3V to +5.5V input voltage range. These
devices are available with guaranteed 50mA and
100mA current limits, making them ideal for load-
switching applications. In addition to the current-limit
fault flag (FFLG), an open-drain no-load flag indicator
(NOLD) notifies the system when the current through
the switch is less than 10mA (MAX4826–MAX4829), or
5mA (MAX4830/MAX4831).
When the switch is on and a load is connected to the
port, a guaranteed blanking time of 14ms ensures that
the transient voltages settle down. If, after this blanking
time, the load current is greater than the current limit,
the MAX4826/MAX4828/MAX4830 enter a latchoff state
where the switch is turned off, and FFLG is issued to
the microprocessor. The switch can be turned on again
by cycling the power or ON.
The MAX4827/MAX4829/MAX4831 have an autoretry
feature where the switch turns off after the blanking
time, and then continuously checks to see if the over-
load condition is present. The current-limit fault flag
(FFLG) is issued and remains low until after the fault
condition is removed. The switch remains on after the
overload condition disappears.
The MAX4826–MAX4831 operate over the extended
-40°C to +85°C temperature range, and are available in a
tiny space-saving, 1mm x 1.5mm, 6-pin µDFN package.

MAX4826–MAX4831
Detailed Description
The MAX4826–MAX4831 are forward-/reverse-current-
limited switches that operate from a +2.3V to +5.5V
input voltage range and guarantee a 50mA and 100mA
minimum current-limit threshold for different options.
The voltage drop across an internal sense resistor is
compared to two reference voltages to indicate a for-
ward- or reverse-current-limit fault. When the load cur-
rent exceeds the preset current limit for greater than
the fault-blanking time, the switch opens.
The MAX4827/MAX4829/MAX4831 have an autoretry
function that turns on the switch again after an internal
retry time expires. If the faulty load condition is still pre-
sent after the blanking time, the switch turns off again
and the cycle is repeated. If the faulty load condition is
not present, the switch remains on.
The MAX4826/MAX4828/MAX4830 do not have the
autoretry option, and the switch remains in latchoff mode
until ON or the input power is cycled from high to low
and then high again.
The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit prevents erro-
neous switch operation when the input voltage goes too
low during startup conditions.
Reverse-Current Protection
The MAX4826–MAX4831 limit the reverse current (VOUT
to VIN) from exceeding the maximum IREV value. The
switch is shut off and FFLG is asserted if the reverse-
current-limit condition persists for more than the blank-
ing time. This feature prevents excessive reverse cur-
rents from flowing through the device.
Switch-On/Off Control
Toggle ON high to enable the current-limited switches.
The switches are continuously on only if VIN exceeds
the UVLO threshold (typically 2V) and there is no fault.
When a forward-/reverse-current fault is present or the
die exceeds the thermal-shutdown temperature of
+150°C, OUT is internally disconnected from IN, and
the supply current decreases to 8µA (latchoff). The
switch is now operating in one of its off states. The
switch off state also occurs when driving ON low, thus
reducing the supply current (shutdown) to 0.01µA.
Table 1 illustrates the ON/OFF state of the MAX4826–
MAX4831 current-limit switches.

See the Autoretry section
Table 1. MAX4826–MAX4831 Switch Truth Table
FFLG
Indicator
The MAX4826–MAX4831 feature a current-limit fault
output, FFLG. Whenever a current-limit fault is activat-
ed, FFLG goes low and the switch turns off. FFLG is an
open-drain output transistor and requires an external
pullup resistor from FFLG to IN. During shutdown (ON
is low), the pulldown on the FFLG output is released to
limit power dissipation. FFLG goes low when any of the
following conditions occur:
• The die temperature exceeds the thermal shut-
down temperature limit of +150°C.
• The device is in current limit for more than the
fault-blanking period.
• VIN is below the UVLO threshold.
NOLD
Indicator
The MAX4826–MAX4831 feature a no-load flag output,
NOLD (Figure 1). This output is pulled low every time
the current coming out of the switch is less than 10mA
(MAX4826–MAX4829), or 5mA (MAX4830/MAX4831).
NOLD is an open-drain output transistor and requires
an external pullup resistor from NOLD to a supply up to
+5.5V. Current through the switch is intended to be
positive (from IN to OUT), and for currents that are
large in magnitude but negative in sign (OUT to IN),
NOLD asserts low. For options with the autoretry fea-
ture (MAX4827/MAX4829/MAX4831), the NOLD output
is high impedance during the tRETRY period when a for-
ward-current-limit condition is present. However, NOLD
is pulled low if a reverse current-limit condition is pre-
sent during the tRETRY period. A constant time filter is
present at the output of NOLD that gives a 60µs delay
when a no-load condition is asserted. Deassertion of
NOLD is not delayed. During shutdown (ON is low), the
pulldown on NOLD is released to limit power dissipation.
Autorety (MAX4827/MAX4829/MAX4831)
When the forward- or reverse-current-limit threshold is
exceeded, the tBLANK timer begins counting (Figure 2).
The timer resets if the overcurrent condition disappears

MAX4826–MAX4831
before tBLANK has elapsed. A retry time delay, tRETRY,
is started immediately after tBLANK has elapsed, and
during that time the switch is latched off. At the end of
tRETRY, the switch is turned on again. If the fault still
exists, the cycle is repeated. If the fault has been
removed, the switch stays on.
The autoretry feature saves system power in the case of
an overcurrent or short-circuit condition. During tBLANK,
when the switch is on, the supply current is at the cur-
rent limit. During tRETRY, when the switch is off, no cur-
rent flows through the switch. Instead of observing the
full load current, the switch sees the equivalent load
current, multiplied by the duty cycle or ISUPPLY = ILOAD
x tBLANK / (tBLANK + tRETRY). With a typical tBLANK =
37ms and typical tRETRY = 518ms, the duty cycle is 6%
which results in a 94% power savings, as opposed to
the switch being on the entire time. The duty cycle is
consistent across the process and devices.
Latchoff (MAX4826/MAX4828/MAX4830)
When the forward- or reverse-current-limit threshold is
exceeded, the tBLANK timer begins counting. The timer
resets if the overcurrent condition disappears before
tBLANK has elapsed. The switch is shut off if the over-
current condition continues up to the end of the blank-
ing time. Reset the switch by either toggling ON (Figure
3a), or cycling the input voltage below UVLO, typically
2V (Figure 3b).
Fault Blanking
The MAX4826–MAX4831 feature 14ms (min) fault blank-
ing. Fault blanking allows current-limit faults, including
momentary short-circuit faults that occur when hot swap-
ping a capacitive load. Fault blanking also ensures that
no fault is issued during power-up. When a load transient
causes the device to enter the current limit, an internal
counter starts. If the load-transient fault persists beyond
the fault-blanking timeout, FFLG asserts low. Load-tran-
sient faults less than tBLANK do not cause FFLG asser-
tion. Only current-limit faults are blanked.
A thermal fault and input voltage drops below the UVLO
threshold cause FFLG to assert immediately. These
faults do not wait for the blanking time.
Thermal Shutdown
The MAX4826–MAX4831 have a thermal-shutdown fea-
ture to protect the devices from overheating. The switch
turns off and FFLG goes low immediately (no fault
blanking) when the junction temperature exceeds
+150°C. The switches with the autoretry feature turn
back on when the device temperature drops approxi-
mately 15°C. The switches with the latchoff feature
require ON cycling.
Applications Information
Input Capacitor
To limit the input voltage drop during momentary output
short-circuit conditions, connect a capacitor from IN to
GND. A 0.1µF ceramic capacitor is adequate for most
applications; however, higher capacitor values further
reduce the voltage drop at the input and are recom-
mended for lower voltage applications.
Output Capacitance
Connect a 0.1µF capacitor from OUT to GND. This
capacitor helps prevent inductive parasitics from pulling
OUT negative during turn-off, thus preventing the
MAX4826–MAX4831 from tripping erroneously. If the
load capacitance is too large, current may not have
enough time to charge the capacitance, and the device
assumes that there is a faulty load condition. The maxi-
mum capacitive load value that can be driven from OUT
is obtained by the following formula:
Layout and Thermal Dissipation
To optimize the switch response time to output short-
circuit conditions, it is very important to keep 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).
IN and OUT pins must be connected with short traces
to the power bus.
During normal operation, the power dissipation is small
and the package temperature change is minimal. If the
output is continuously shorted to ground at the maxi-
mum supply voltage, the operation of the switches with
the autoretry option does not cause problems because
the total power dissipated during the short is scaled by
the duty cycle:
where,
VIN_MAX = 5.5V, IOUT_MAX = 240mA, tBLANK = 37ms,
and tRETRY = 518ms.
Attention must be given to the MAX4826/MAX4828/
MAX4830 where the latchoff condition must be manually
reset by toggling ON from high to low. If the latchoff time
duration is not sufficiently high, it is possible for the
device to reach the thermal shutdown threshold and
never be able to turn the device on until it cools down.
