Working Principle of the MAX5904USA+

The MAX5904USA+ is a Hot Swap controller that provides a full-featured, single-chip solution for controlling AC/DC and other external power sources. It features a robust Hot Swap FET controller with intelligent fault protection, as well as a regulator and overvoltage protection (OVP) circuit. This device is designed to protect systems against overvoltage events and to respond quickly to changes in the external power. To accomplish these tasks, the MAX5904USA+ contains a Hot Swap FET, a current limit circuit, a voltage monitoring circuit, and a thermal shutdown circuit.

The Hot Swap FET is the main component of the MAX5904USA+ and is responsible for controlling the current flow into the system. The device incorporates an internal Power-OK comparator and P-channel MOSFET to ensure reliable and efficient power control. The MOSFET is designed to switch quickly and accurately to protect the system against overcurrent faults and changes in the external supply. The MAX5904USA+ also provides an adjustable current limit, allowing the designer to select the appropriate current limit for the application.

The voltage monitoring circuit of the MAX5904USA+ provides analog sensing of the supply voltage and monitors input voltage conditions. This information is used by the device to adjust the current limit, power up and down the system, and protect against overvoltage events. The overvoltage protection (OVP) circuit is designed to detect high input voltages and shut down the system to protect the system and the system components. Finally, the device also contains a thermal shutdown circuit which will shut down the power MOSFET if the device temperature exceeds a predetermined level.
