Maxim also offers system-level modeling and simulation support to achieve the best performance for customer-specific applications. The integrated host-charger detection circuitry and the adjustable current capability (3A) allow the USB peripheral devices to be charged quickly and efficiently. The industry’s lowest on-resistance BUS switch minimizes line drop, ensuring USB compliance.
“Maxim is the industry leader for automotive-grade USB protection,” said Kent Robinett, Managing Director at Maxim Integrated Products. “As the newest members of the company’s automotive USB protection devices, the MAX16919/MAX16969 reflect the industry’s advances in mobile integration within the automotive environment,” Robinett added.
These new protection ICs complement the company’s MAX16942E/MAX16943E/MAX16944E, the previously released automotive-grade USB protectors for automotive radio, navigation, connectivity, and USB hub applications.
The devices are available in a 16-pin QSOP package and operate over the -40°C to +105°C temperature range.
