Product Details
For reverse-voltage protection, external back-to-back MOSFETs outperform the traditional reverse-battery diode, minimizing the voltage drop and power dissipation during normal operation.
The MAX16126/MAX16127 use external resistors to adjust the overvoltage and undervoltage comparator thresholds for maximum flexibility.
The MAX16127 provides limiter-mode fault management for overvoltage and thermal shutdown conditions; whereas the MAX16126 provides switch-mode fault management for overvoltage and thermal shutdown conditions. In the limiter mode, the output voltage is limited and active-low FLAG is asserted low during a fault. In the switch mode, the external MOSFETs are switched off and active-low FLAG is asserted low after a fault. The switch mode is available in four options: latch mode, 1 autoretry mode, 3 autoretry mode, and always autoretry mode.
The MAX16126/MAX16127 are available in 12-pin TQFN packages. These devices operate over the automotive temperature range (-40°C to +125°C).

Description
The MAX16126/MAX16127 evaluation kits (EV kits) demonstrate high overvoltage protection of the MAX16126/MAX16127 devices for automotive applications that must survive load-dump and high-voltage transient conditions. The fully assembled and tested surface-mount EV kit board provides two circuits: One full-featured solution and one minimum parts-count circuit. The full-featured solution exercises all the features of the devices and allows -60V to +90V protection beyond the 3V to 30V operating range. The minimum parts-count solution provides a cost-effective option using a small 3A, dual MOSFET and reduced 0 to +60V voltage range.
