Product details
Overview
The MAX14523BATA+T from Maxim Integrated is a programmable current-limit switch designed for load protection in portable and automotive power rails. It features latch-off fault response, 70mΩ on-resistance, 250mA–1.5A adjustable current limit, and operates from +1.7V to +5.5V - ideal for SDIO, USB, and notebook VGA port protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX14523BATA+T datasheet, MAX14523BATA+T pinout, MAX14523BATA+T application, or MAX14523BATA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include latch-off behavior under overcurrent, thermal shutdown at +170°C, reverse-current blocking, and TDFN-8 (3mm × 3mm) package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX14523BATA+T implements a fixed-blanking-time (10–25ms), latch-off fault response: when output current exceeds the SETI-programmed threshold for longer than tBLANK, the internal FET latches off and holds until ON is toggled or VIN is cycled. Its BiCMOS process enables precise ±10% current-limit accuracy across -40°C to +125°C.
It integrates reverse-current protection that blocks backflow to ≤2µA when VOUT > VIN + 140mV, and thermal shutdown triggers at +170°C (typ) with 15°C hysteresis. FLAG asserts open-drain low during latch-off, reverse-current trip, or thermal shutdown - requiring external pull-up.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Current Limit Range | 250mA to 1.5A, set by external resistor (RSETI = 563kΩ to 91.8kΩ); enables precise load tailoring without redesign. |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 70mΩ (typ) at VIN = 3.3V; minimizes dropout voltage (70mV at 1A) and power loss in battery-sensitive applications. |
| Fault Response Mode | Latch-off: output remains disabled after overcurrent until ON pin is toggled or supply cycled - prevents uncontrolled retry in persistent faults. |
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.7V to +5.5V; supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), USB 3.3V/5V, and automotive 3.3V/5V rails without level-shifting. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at +170°C (typ), with 15°C hysteresis; protects against sustained short-circuit power dissipation in enclosed environments. |
| Reverse-Current Blocking | Blocks backflow to ≤2µA when VOUT > VIN + 140mV; eliminates need for external blocking diode in bidirectional power domains. |
| Quiescent Current | 170µA (typ) in active state; ensures minimal standby drain in always-on subsystems like GPS or cellular baseband. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin TDFN-EP (3mm × 3mm, exposed pad), RoHS-compliant, automotive-grade (-40°C to +125°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 6 | N.C. | No internal connection; must be left floating or tied to GND - no signal routing or decoupling function. |
| 2 | FLAG | Open-drain fault indicator; pulls low during latch-off, reverse-current trip, or thermal shutdown - requires external pull-up for host MCU interrupt. |
| 3 | SETI | Current-limit programming node; resistor to GND sets ILIM (250mA–1.5A); grounding disables output and asserts FLAG. |
| 4 | OUT | Switched output; connects to protected load; bypass with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability. |
| 5 | IN | Power input; accepts +1.7V to +5.5V; bypass with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor to GND near pin to suppress transients. |
| 7 | ON | Active-high enable control; logic-high turns switch on; toggle required to reset latch-off condition after fault. |
| 8 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; primary return path for load current and internal circuitry. |
| EP | Exposed Pad | Internally connected to GND; must be soldered to large copper pour for thermal dissipation (θJA = 41°C/W). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Latch-off Fault Handling | Prevents uncontrolled cycling during persistent overloads - eliminates thermal stress and system instability seen in autoretry modes. |
| ±10% Accurate Current Limit | Guaranteed over full temperature range (-40°C to +125°C); reduces design margining and eliminates calibration in production test. |
| Reverse-Current Blocking | Eliminates need for discrete Schottky diode in shared-bus architectures (e.g., USB OTG, dual-power-source systems), saving board space and BOM cost. |
| Low 70mΩ RON | Enables <70mV dropout at 1A - critical for maintaining voltage compliance in low-voltage I/O rails (e.g., SDIO 1.8V/3.3V). |
| Thermal Shutdown with Hysteresis | +170°C trip / +155°C recovery ensures safe re-enabling after fault removal without oscillation or premature restart. |
Applications
| SDIO Port Protection | USB 2.0/3.0 Power Switching |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-limit switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX14523AATA+ | Autoretry fault response (not latch-off); same pinout, package, and RON; identical SETI programming interface. | Suitable where automatic recovery from transient faults is preferred (e.g., consumer USB hubs), but unsafe for persistent faults. | Select MAX14523AATA+ only if system-level fault handling relies on retry cycles rather than deterministic manual reset. |
| TCK127G,LF | Fixed 1.2A current limit (non-adjustable); 50mΩ RON; latch-off response; 6-pin SOT-26 package; no FLAG output. | Used in space-constrained designs where current threshold is fixed and fault status monitoring is not required. | Choose TCK127G,LF when board area is critical, current limit is invariant, and host MCU does not require real-time fault reporting. |
Compared with MAX14523AATA+, the MAX14523BATA+T provides deterministic latch-off for safety-critical fault containment; compared with TCK127G,LF, it offers programmable current limit and FLAG feedback - essential for adaptive power management in automotive and industrial systems.

FAQ
What fault response mode does the MAX14523BATA+T implement?
The MAX14523BATA+T implements a latch-off fault response: when output current exceeds the SETI-programmed threshold for longer than the blanking time (10–25ms), the internal FET latches off and remains disabled until the ON pin is toggled or VIN is cycled. This behavior is confirmed in the Functional Diagram and Pin Configuration sections of the official datasheet, distinguishing it from the autoretry (MAX14523A) or continuous-limit (MAX14523C) variants.
How is the current limit programmed on the MAX14523BATA+T?
The current limit on the MAX14523BATA+T is programmed using an external resistor (RSETI) connected between the SETI pin and GND. The relationship follows ILIM(mA) = 141400 / (RSETI(kΩ) − 2.48), supporting 250mA to 1.5A. Values are validated in Table 2 of the datasheet, with RSETI = 563.12kΩ yielding 250mA and 91.78kΩ yielding 1500mA. Capacitance >20pF on SETI must be avoided to prevent instability.
Does the MAX14523BATA+T provide reverse-current protection?
Yes, the MAX14523BATA+T provides reverse-current protection: when VOUT exceeds VIN by more than 140mV (typ), the internal circuit blocks backflow to ≤2µA and asserts FLAG immediately - without waiting for blanking time. This feature is explicitly documented in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, Electrical Characteristics, and Detailed Description sections, and eliminates the need for external blocking diodes in bidirectional power paths.
What is the operating temperature range of the MAX14523BATA+T?
The MAX14523BATA+T is rated for operation from -40°C to +125°C, meeting automotive-grade temperature requirements. This range is guaranteed across all electrical parameters including current-limit accuracy (±10%), RON, and thermal shutdown threshold (+170°C typ). The datasheet confirms this in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, Operating Temperature Range specification, and Typical Operating Characteristics plots.
What package type and footprint does the MAX14523BATA+T use?
The MAX14523BATA+T uses an 8-pin TDFN-EP package (3mm × 3mm, exposed pad), identified by package code T833+2 and outline number 21-0137. The exposed pad is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to a large copper ground plane for thermal performance (θJA = 41°C/W). Land pattern number 90-0059 applies, and RoHS compliance is indicated by the '+' suffix.
