The MAX8536EUA+ is an ORing MOSFET controller with fastest fault isolation for redundant power supplies in 8 pin μMAX package. The critical loads often employ parallel-connected power supplies with redundancy in order to enhance system reliability. The MAX8535 is a highly integrated but inexpensive MOSFET controller that provides isolation and redundant power capability in high-reliability systems. The MAX8536 is used in 3.3V and 5V systems with a charge pump output of VCC + 5V. During start-up, the MAX8536 monitor the voltage drop across external MOSFETs. Once VCC approaches or exceeds the bus voltage, the MOSFETs are turned on. The MAX8536 feature a dual-purpose TIMER input. A single external resistor from TIMER to ground sets the turn-on speed of the external MOSFETs. Optionally, the TIMER input can be used as a logic-enable pin. Once the device is turned on, the MAX8536 monitor the load, protecting against overvoltage, undervoltage and reverse-current conditions.
