Product details
Overview
The MAX1562HESA from Maxim Integrated is an active-high enable, programmable 4A USB current-limited power switch for single-port hot-swap and overcurrent protection. It operates from 4V to 5.5V input, delivers up to 4A output with 26mΩ typical on-resistance, features 20ms fault blanking, autoreset recovery, and open-drain FAULT signaling - deployed in notebook USB power delivery and docking station port management.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1562HESA datasheet, MAX1562HESA pinout, MAX1562HESA application, or MAX1562HESA equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world USB port protection use cases, confirmed alternative parts with functional distinctions, and supply-chain support details specific to industrial and embedded OEM design cycles.
Technical Context
The MAX1562HESA integrates a low-RON NMOS high-side switch with internal charge pump, thermal shutdown at +160°C (15°C hysteresis), and dual-mode current limiting: continuous regulation above 1V output and pulsed short-circuit mode below 1V. Its 20ms fault-blanking timer ignores transient capacitive inrush during USB hot-plug events.
Control logic uses active-high ON input (distinct from MAX1562's active-low), no SEL pin, and fixed polarity - eliminating configuration overhead. Fault reporting combines undervoltage lockout (2.9V–3.8V threshold), thermal overload, and sustained current-limit detection into a single open-drain FAULT output with immediate assertion for UVLO/thermal faults and 20ms-delayed assertion for overcurrent conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.0V to 5.5V - compatible with standard USB 5V rail and tolerant of brownout conditions down to 4V. |
| Continuous Current Limit | Programmable 1A–3A via ISET resistor - MAX1562HESA supports up to 3A (not 4A) due to 8-pin SO thermal limits. |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 26mΩ typical, 50mΩ max - enables <450mW dissipation at 3A, critical for SO-package thermal management. |
| Fault Blanking Time | 20ms typical - suppresses false FAULT assertions during USB load startup with large bypass capacitance. |
| Quiescent Current | 40µA typical - minimizes standby power draw in always-on USB hub controller systems. |
| Shutdown Current | 3µA max - ensures negligible battery drain when USB port is disabled in portable systems. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | +160°C with 15°C hysteresis - provides robust self-protection during sustained overload without external sensing. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1562HESA is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package (package code S8-2), RoHS-compliant, with exposed pad not present - thermal path relies on PCB copper area under leads.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | ON | Active-high enable input - drives high to turn on switch; pulled low or left floating disables output. |
| 2 | FAULT | Open-drain fault indicator - sinks current when UVLO, thermal shutdown, or >20ms current limit occurs. |
| 3 | GND | Power ground reference - must connect to low-impedance system ground plane for stable current sensing. |
| 4 | ISET | Current-limit programming node - connects to GND via resistor (e.g., 5.76kΩ for 3A) per ILIM = 17120 / RISET. |
| 5, 7 | IN | Power input - dual pins internally tied; requires 1µF ceramic bypass to GND within 5mm for EMI suppression. |
| 6, 8 | OUT | Switched power output - dual pins internally tied; requires 4.7µF ceramic bypass and optional bulk capacitance for USB load stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable current limit (1A–3A) | Set via single external resistor - eliminates need for trimming or digital interface; supports precise match to USB port rating. |
| Autoreset after fault clearance | 25mA output current source monitors VOUT - automatically restores power when short is removed and VOUT > 0.5V for 20ms. |
| 20ms fault-blanking circuitry | Hardware timer ignores transient overloads - prevents host MCU interruption during compliant USB hot-plug events. |
| Thermal-overload protection | +160°C shutdown with hysteresis - avoids thermal runaway without external sensor or firmware intervention. |
| Active-high ON control | Dedicated logic polarity - simplifies interface to GPIOs without level-shifting or inverters required by MAX1562. |
Applications
| USB Notebook Port Protection | Desktop USB Hub Power Management |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB current-limiting switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1562ESA+ | Active-low ON input; identical pinout, package, and current-limit range (1A–3A); same 20ms blanking and autoreset behavior. | Requires inverted GPIO or pull-up/pull-down rework on existing MAX1562HESA designs; otherwise drop-in for control logic redesign. | Select MAX1562ESA+ only when host MCU GPIO is constrained to active-low drive or legacy schematic reuse mandates polarity match. |
| TPS2051BDBVR | Fixed 1.5A current limit; no programmability; 70mΩ RON; no fault blanking; FAULT asserts immediately on overcurrent (no 20ms delay). | Suitable for cost-sensitive, low-power USB peripherals where inrush immunity is less critical and thermal margin is ample. | Choose TPS2051BDBVR for simple, low-BOM-count USB ports without hot-swap robustness requirements - not for high-capacitance or industrial environments. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating for MAX1562HESA?
The MAX1562HESA supports a programmable continuous current limit from 1A to 3A, set by an external resistor on the ISET pin. Its 8-pin SO package thermal limit restricts operation to 3A maximum - unlike the MAX1563 (4A in QFN). At 3A and 50mΩ RON, power dissipation reaches 450mW, aligning with the SO package's 471mW rating at +70°C ambient.
Does MAX1562HESA support hot-swap of USB devices without triggering false faults?
Yes. The MAX1562HESA includes dedicated 20ms hardware fault-blanking circuitry that ignores transient overcurrents during USB device insertion. When a capacitive load causes momentary inrush exceeding the programmed current limit, the FAULT output remains deasserted - preventing spurious interrupts to the host microprocessor and ensuring clean enumeration.
How does the autoreset function work in MAX1562HESA after a short-circuit event?
After a short-circuit fault persists beyond 20ms, the MAX1562HESA latches OFF and sources 25mA from OUT to detect fault clearance. If the output voltage rises above 0.5V and remains there for 20ms, the MAX1562HESA automatically re-enables the switch and deasserts FAULT. This autonomous recovery eliminates need for host MCU intervention or manual reset.
What is the role of the ISET pin on MAX1562HESA, and how is current limit calculated?
The ISET pin on MAX1562HESA sets the continuous current limit using the formula ILIM = 17120 / RISET, where RISET is the resistor value (in ohms) from ISET to GND. For example, a 5.76kΩ resistor yields ~3A. Values between 5.76kΩ and 16kΩ are supported; below 5.76kΩ risks accuracy degradation due to SO-package thermal limits.
Can MAX1562HESA be used in automotive USB applications?
No. The MAX1562HESA is specified for -40°C to +85°C operation and lacks AEC-Q200 qualification, automotive-grade ESD tolerance (±15kV contact), or extended voltage range needed for 12V automotive USB implementations. It is designed for commercial computing applications - notebooks, desktops, and docking stations - not automotive infotainment or telematics systems.
