Product details
Overview
The MAX17563AUD+ from Maxim Integrated is a continuous-current-limit overvoltage and overcurrent protection IC designed for high-reliability power rail protection. It features 100mΩ (typ) internal FETs, adjustable OVLO (6V–36V) and UVLO (4.5V–24V), programmable current limit up to 4.2A with ±15% accuracy, and reverse-current blocking at 30–70mV. It operates across –40°C to +125°C in industrial power systems requiring fault-tolerant input protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX17563AUD+ datasheet, MAX17563AUD+ pinout, MAX17563AUD+ application, or MAX17563AUD+ equivalent, this page delivers verified functional behavior, confirmed thermal shutdown response (150°C trip, 30°C hysteresis), exact TSSOP-14 package mapping, validated SETI-based current programming, and real-world timing parameters including 20.7ms blanking and continuous limiting mode - all critical for robust system-level fault management design.
Technical Context
The MAX17563AUD+ implements a continuous current-limit architecture: when load current exceeds the SETI-programmed threshold, it clamps output current without latching off or autoretrying. Its internal control logic monitors IN–OUT differential voltage for reverse-current detection (30–70mV threshold) and asserts FLAG after 20.7ms (typ) blanking time upon sustained overcurrent, thermal overload (>150°C), or OVLO/UVLO violation.
It integrates dual enable inputs (EN active-high, HVEN 36V-tolerant active-low), reverse-current enable (RIEN), and independent OVLO/UVLO pins supporting either factory presets (33V/19.2V typ) or external resistor-divider adjustment. The device uses a bandgap reference (1.210V typ) for precision threshold generation and includes ESD-hardened IN pin (±15kV HBM with 0.47µF bypass).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Overcurrent Protection Mode | Continuous current limiting - maintains regulated output current during fault; no latch-off or retry cycles required. |
| Current Limit Range | 0.7A to 4.2A, set by resistor from SETI to GND; ±15% accuracy ensures predictable fault current capping. |
| OVLO Threshold Range | 6V to 36V adjustable via external resistors; factory preset at 33V (typ) enables immediate deployment without external components. |
| UVLO Threshold Range | 4.5V to 24V adjustable; factory preset at 19.2V (typ) prevents brownout operation while supporting wide input rails. |
| RON (FET) | 100mΩ (typ) at 100mA and VIN ≥ 8V - minimizes conduction loss and self-heating under full-load conditions. |
| Reverse Current Blocking | Activates at 30–70mV VOUT–VIN differential; blocks reverse flow within 0.9–2.0µs to protect upstream sources. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Triggers at 150°C junction temperature with 30°C hysteresis; device resumes normal operation once cooled below 120°C. |
Pinout & Package
MAX17563AUD+ is housed in a 14-pin TSSOP package (5mm × 6.5mm) with exposed pad (EP) that must be connected to GND for thermal and electrical integrity. Pin 1–3 are IN (common input node); Pins 12–14 are OUT (common output node); Pin 7 is GND; Pin 11 is open-drain FLAG; Pins 8 (HVEN) and 10 (EN) provide dual enable control; Pin 9 (RIEN) enables reverse-current blocking; Pins 4 (UVLO) and 5 (OVLO) support threshold programming; Pin 6 (SETI) sets current limit.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–3, IN | Input voltage node | Accepts –40V to +40V; requires 0.47µF ceramic bypass to GND for ESD and transient immunity. |
| 4, UVLO | Undervoltage lockout threshold select | Connect to GND for 19.2V (typ) internal threshold; use resistor divider for custom UVLO between 4.5V–24V. |
| 5, OVLO | Overvoltage lockout threshold select | Connect to GND for 33V (typ) internal threshold; use resistor divider for custom OVLO between 6V–36V. |
| 6, SETI | Current limit programming input | Resistor to GND sets 0.7A–4.2A limit; <1V input asserts FLAG and disables output. |
| 7, GND | Ground reference | Common return for all analog and power paths; EP must be soldered to same GND plane. |
| 8, HVEN | High-voltage enable input | 36V-tolerant active-low control; toggling resets fault state when latched or during autoretry. |
| 9, RIEN | Reverse-current enable | Pull to GND to activate reverse-blocking; leave floating or pull high to disable protection. |
| 10, EN | Active-high enable input | Standard logic-level enable; used with HVEN per Table 1 for flexible switch control. |
| 11, FLAG | Fault indicator output | Open-drain signal asserted low on overcurrent (after blanking), thermal shutdown, OVLO/UVLO, or SETI <1V. |
| 12–14, OUT | Protected output node | Delivers regulated power to load; requires 1µF ceramic bypass to GND near pin for stability. |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Must be connected to GND plane with ≥4 thermal vias; critical for θJA = 39°C/W performance. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the key functional difference between MAX17563AUD+ and MAX17561AUD+?
The MAX17563AUD+ implements continuous current limiting: when overcurrent occurs, it regulates output current at the SETI-programmed value without interrupting power. In contrast, the MAX17561AUD+ enters autoretry mode - turning off for 600ms after a 20.7ms blanking period, then attempting restart. This makes MAX17563AUD+ ideal for applications requiring uninterrupted operation during faults, whereas MAX17561AUD+ prioritizes thermal dissipation through duty cycling. Both share identical pinout, package, and protection thresholds.
How is the current limit set on the MAX17563AUD+?
The current limit on MAX17563AUD+ is set by connecting a resistor from the SETI pin to GND. Using the formula RSETI(kΩ) = 11500 / ILIM(mA), a 2.74kΩ resistor programs a 4.2A limit. The device achieves ±15% accuracy across temperature and supply voltage. Leaving SETI unconnected disables output (0A limit); pulling SETI below 1V (typ) asserts FLAG and forces shutdown. No capacitor should be added to SETI - maximum allowed capacitance is 10pF.
Does MAX17563AUD+ support reverse-voltage protection?
Yes, MAX17563AUD+ supports reverse-input voltage tolerance down to –36V on the IN pin and includes active reverse-current blocking. When VOUT exceeds VIN by 30–70mV, the device detects reverse flow and blocks it within 0.9–2.0µs. This feature is enabled by pulling the RIEN pin to GND. Reverse blocking prevents backfeed into upstream sources during hot-swap, inductive load decay, or battery backup scenarios - a critical capability not found in basic eFuses.
What thermal management provisions are required for MAX17563AUD+ in continuous fault conditions?
Under continuous overcurrent fault, MAX17563AUD+ dissipates power as P = VIN × ILIM × RON. With its 100mΩ (typ) FETs and θJA = 39°C/W, thermal vias from the exposed pad (EP) to a solid GND plane are mandatory. The device triggers thermal shutdown at 150°C junction temperature and resumes operation only after cooling to ~120°C. Unlike MAX17561/MAX17562, MAX17563AUD+ does not include blanking time for thermal events - shutdown activates immediately upon threshold breach.
Can MAX17563AUD+ be used without external resistors for OVLO and UVLO?
Yes, MAX17563AUD+ can operate without external resistors for OVLO and UVLO. Connecting OVLO and UVLO pins directly to GND activates the factory-preset thresholds of 33V (typ) and 19.2V (typ), respectively. These values are trimmed and guaranteed across temperature, eliminating BOM cost and layout area. External resistor dividers are optional and only needed when custom thresholds - such as 28V OVLO for 24V systems with margin, or 12V UVLO for brownout prevention - are required.
