Product details
Overview
MAX4945LELA+TG104 from Maxim Integrated is an overvoltage-protection controller with integrated nFET switch, designed for input rail protection in portable electronics. It features a 5.80V (typ) overvoltage lockout (OVLO), 2.45V (typ) undervoltage lockout (UVLO), 80mΩ (typ) RON, 1.2A (min) current-limit protection, and autoretry fault recovery. It safeguards systems powered by 3V–5V adapters against +28V faults and supports external pFET for reverse-polarity protection down to –28V.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4945LELA+TG104 datasheet, MAX4945LELA+TG104 pinout, MAX4945LELA+TG104 application, or MAX4945LELA+TG104 equivalent, key selection criteria include OVLO/UVLO thresholds, autoretry timing (15ms typ), ACOK logic output behavior, thermal shutdown (+175°C), and µDFN-8 (2mm × 2mm) package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The device uses an internal charge pump to drive its integrated nFET switch, enabling operation with VIN as low as 2.45V while maintaining gate overdrive above the input rail. Its 15ms (typ) debounce timer prevents false turn-on during adapter plug-in transients, and the 30ms (typ) ACOK assertion delay ensures stable voltage before signaling power-good.
Overcurrent protection triggers within 10µs (typ) to disable the switch; autoretry mode then initiates a 15ms (typ) off-time before re-enabling. Thermal shutdown activates at +175°C (typ) with 40°C hysteresis, and GP output drives an external pFET with clamped voltage (≤19V max between GP and IN) for reverse-voltage blocking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| OVLO Threshold | 5.80V (typ); disables switch if input exceeds this level to prevent downstream damage |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.45V (typ); places device in low-current standby if input drops below this level |
| RON | 80mΩ (typ) at 1A; minimizes conduction loss and self-heating under full load |
| Current Limit | 1.2A (min); protects switch and load from sustained overcurrent events |
| ACOK Assertion Delay | 30ms (typ); ensures stable VIN before asserting active-low power-good signal |
| Autoretry Time | 15ms (typ); defines off-interval before automatic re-enable after overcurrent fault |
| Thermal Shutdown | +175°C (typ); disables switch to prevent junction damage during thermal overload |
Pinout & Package
MAX4945LELA+TG104 is housed in an 8-pin µDFN package (2mm × 2mm, 0.5mm pitch), thermally enhanced with exposed pad, rated for –40°C to +85°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 - IN | Voltage Input | Powers internal charge pump; accepts 2.2V–28V; requires 1µF ceramic bypass for ±15kV HBM ESD rating |
| 3 - GP | pFET Gate Drive | Active-low open-drain output that pulls external pFET gate low when VIN > 0V; clamped to ≤19V differential vs. IN |
| 4 - ACOK | Adapter OK Indicator | Active-low open-drain logic output asserted low only after VIN remains within UVLO–OVLO window for 30ms (typ) |
| 5 - GND | Ground Reference | System ground return for all internal circuitry and charge pump; must be low-impedance |
| 6, 7, 8 - OUT | Switch Output | Drains current from internal nFET; pins electrically tied internally and must be shorted externally for proper operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Programmable OVLO/UVLO | Fixed 5.80V OVLO and 2.45V UVLO enable precise match to Li-ion battery or 3.3V/5V system rails without external resistors |
| Autoretry Fault Recovery | Automatically recovers from transient shorts without host intervention-critical for unattended portable charging applications |
| ACOK Power-Good Logic | Provides clean, debounced system-level power-status signal to microcontroller or PMIC, eliminating need for external monitoring circuitry |

Use Value: Enables robust USB-OTG compatibility; eliminates field returns due to adapter-related failures. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar overvoltage-protection controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4945ELA+T | UVLO = 4.15V (vs. 2.45V); same OVLO = 5.80V, RON, autoretry timing | Designed for 5V nominal systems; not suitable for sub-3V battery-backed operation | Select MAX4945ELA+T only if system operates strictly above 4.15V; MAX4945LELA+TG104 is required for 2.45V UVLO support. |
| TPD3S014RTER | No integrated switch; requires external FET; includes integrated USB data-line ESD protection (±15kV IEC 61000-4-2) | Targeted at USB Type-A/B ports with data lines; lacks ACOK output and autoretry logic | Choose TPD3S014RTER only when USB data-line ESD protection is mandatory and external FET layout is acceptable. |
Compared with MAX4945ELA+T and TPD3S014RTER, MAX4945LELA+TG104 uniquely combines 2.45V UVLO, integrated nFET, autoretry, and ACOK in a single µDFN-8 package-making it optimal for compact, battery-aware portable devices requiring autonomous fault recovery without host firmware involvement.

FAQ
What is the overvoltage lockout (OVLO) threshold for MAX4945LELA+TG104?
The MAX4945LELA+TG104 has a preset overvoltage lockout threshold of 5.80V (typical), with a guaranteed range of 5.50V to 6.10V across temperature. This value is factory-trimmed and non-adjustable. When the input voltage exceeds this threshold, the internal nFET switch turns off within 20µs to protect downstream circuitry. The 5.80V setting makes MAX4945LELA+TG104 suitable for 5V nominal systems where margin above standard USB 5V is needed but tolerance for overvoltage is tight.
Does MAX4945LELA+TG104 support reverse-polarity protection?
Yes, MAX4945LELA+TG104 supports reverse-polarity protection down to –28V via its GP (gate-drive) pin, which drives an external p-channel MOSFET. When the input voltage drops below ground, GP pulls low to turn off the external pFET, blocking reverse current flow into the protected load. The GP-to-IN voltage is internally clamped to ≤19V (max), allowing safe use with 30V-rated pFETs. This functionality extends protection beyond the internal nFET's +28V forward limit and is confirmed in the MAX4945LELA+TG104 functional diagram and Applications Information section.
What is the function of the ACOK pin on MAX4945LELA+TG104?
The ACOK pin on MAX4945LELA+TG104 is an active-low, open-drain logic output that signals valid input voltage presence. It asserts low only after the input voltage remains within the UVLO (2.45V) and OVLO (5.80V) window for 30ms (typical), confirming stable adapter connection. During startup, overvoltage, undervoltage, or overcurrent faults, ACOK remains high-impedance or deasserts. A pullup resistor to the host system's logic I/O voltage is required. This feature eliminates the need for external power-good monitoring circuitry in MAX4945LELA+TG104-based designs.
How does the autoretry feature work in MAX4945LELA+TG104?
In MAX4945LELA+TG104, the autoretry feature responds to overcurrent faults by turning off the internal switch within 10µs (typical), holding it off for 15ms (typical), then automatically attempting to re-enable. If the fault persists, the cycle repeats; if cleared, the switch remains on. This behavior is distinct from latchoff variants (e.g., MAX4945BELA+T) and enables autonomous recovery from transient shorts-such as those caused by connector arcing or motor startup-without host MCU intervention. The 15ms retry time is fixed and not user-adjustable in MAX4945LELA+TG104.
What package type and footprint does MAX4945LELA+TG104 use?
MAX4945LELA+TG104 uses an 8-pin µDFN package (2mm × 2mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad (package code L822-1). It is RoHS-compliant and lead-free. The top mark is ABG. This package requires standard µDFN land pattern per Maxim document 21-0164 and supports reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020. Pin 1 is located at the bottom-left corner when the top mark is oriented upright; pins 6–8 are internally bonded to the same die node and must be shorted together on the PCB. No alternate packages are offered for MAX4945LELA+TG104.
