72V, Overvoltage-Protection Switches/Limiter
Controllers with an External MOSFET
Features
The MAX6495–MAX6499 is a family of small, low-current, overvoltage-protection circuits for high-voltage
transient systems such as those found in automotive
and industrial applications. These devices monitor the
input voltage and control an external n-channel MOSFET
switch to isolate the load at the output during an input
overvoltage condition. The MAX6495–MAX6499 operate
over a wide supply voltage range from +5.5V to +72V.
The gate of the n-channel MOSFET is driven high while
the monitored input is below the user-adjustable overvoltage threshold. An integrated charge-pump circuit
provides a 10V gate-to-source voltage to fully enhance
the n-channel MOSFET. When the input voltage
exceeds the user-adjusted overvoltage threshold, the
gate of the MOSFET is quickly pulled low, disconnecting the load from the input. In some applications, disconnecting the output from the load is not desirable. In
these cases, the protection circuit can be configured to
act as a voltage limiter where the GATE output sawtooths to limit the voltage to the load (MAX6495/
MAX6496/MAX6499).
The MAX6496 supports lower input voltages and
reduces power loss by replacing the external reverse
battery diode with an external series p-channel MOSFET.
The MAX6496 generates the proper bias voltage to
ensure that the p-channel MOSFET is on during normal
operations. The gate-to-source voltage is clamped during load-dump conditions, and the p-channel MOSFET
is off during reverse-battery conditions.
♦ Wide Supply Voltage Range: +5.5V to +72V
♦ Overvoltage-Protection Switch Controller Allows
User to Size External n-Channel MOSFETs
♦ Fast Gate Shutoff During Overvoltage with 100mA
Sink Capability
♦ Internal Charge-Pump Circuit Ensures 10V
Gate-to-Source Enhancement for Low RDS(ON)
Performance
♦ n-Channel MOSFET Latches Off After an
Overvoltage Condition (MAX6497/MAX6499)
♦ Adjustable Overvoltage Threshold
♦ Thermal Shutdown Protection
♦ Supports Series p-Channel MOSFET for ReverseBattery Voltage Protection (MAX6496)
The MAX6497/MAX6498 feature an open-drain, undedicated comparator that notifies the system if the output
falls below the programmed threshold. The MAX6497
keeps the MOSFET switch latched off until either the
input power or the SHDN pin is cycled. The MAX6498
will autoretry when VOVSET falls below 130mV.
These devices are available in small, thermally
enhanced, 6-pin and 8-pin TDFN packages and are
fully specified from -40°C to +125°C.

FUNCTION
Positive Supply Voltage. Connect IN to the positive side of the input voltage. Bypass IN
with a 10µF capacitor to GND.
Shutdown Input. Drive SHDN low to force GATE low and turn off the external n-channel
MOSFET. Drive SHDN low and then high to reset the overvoltage-condition latch. SHDN
is internally pulled to GND with 1µA of current. Connect SHDN to IN for normal operation.
Overvoltage-Threshold Adjustment Input. Connect OVSET to an external resistive
voltage-divider network to adjust the desired overvoltage-disable or overvoltage-limit
threshold. Connect the resistor network to the input side (drain) of the n-channel
MOSFET for overvoltage switch turn-off applications or to the output side (source) of the
n-channel MOSFET for overvoltage-limiting applications (MAX6495/MAX6496/MAX6499).
Ground
Gate-Driver Output. Connect GATE to the gate of the external n-channel MOSFET switch.
GATE is the output of a charge pump with a 100µA pullup current to 10V (typ) above IN
during normal operation. GATE is quickly clamped to OUTFB during an overvoltage
condition. GATE pulls low when SHDN is low.
Output-Voltage-Sense Input. Connect OUTFB to the source of the external n-channel
MOSFET switch.
p-Channel Gate-Driver Output. Connect GATEP to the gate of an external p-channel
MOSFET to provide low-drop reverse-voltage protection. GATEP is biased to ensure that
the p-channel MOSFET is on during normal operating modes, the gate-to-source is not
overstressed during load-dump/overvoltage conditions, and the p-channel MOSFET is
off during reverse-battery conditions.

Power-OK Threshold-Adjustment Input. POK remains low while POKSET is below the
internal POKSET threshold (1.18V). POK goes high impedance when POKSET goes

Overvoltage Monitoring

VIN
When operating in overvoltage mode, the MAX6495–
MAX6499 feedback path (Figure 1) consists of IN,
OVSET’s internal comparator, the internal gate charge
pump, and the external n-channel MOSFET, resulting in
a switch-on/off function. When the programmed overvoltage threshold is tripped, the internal fast comparator turns off the external MOSFET, clamping GATE to
OUTFB within 0.5µs and disconnecting the power
source from the load. When IN decreases below the
adjusted overvoltage threshold, the MAX6495–MAX6499
slowly enhance GATE above OUTFB, reconnecting the
load to the power source.

Overvoltage Limiter
(MAX6495/MAX6496/MAX6499)
When operating in overvoltage-limiter mode, the
MAX6495/MAX6496/MAX6499 feedback path (Figure 2)
consists of OUTFB, OVSET’s internal comparator, the
internal gate charge pump, and the external n-channel
MOSFET, resulting in the external MOSFET operating
as a voltage regulator.
During normal operation, GATE is enhanced 10V above
OUTFB. The external MOSFET source voltage is monitored through a resistive divider between OUTFB and
OVSET. When OUTFB rises above the adjusted overvoltage threshold, an internal comparator sinks the
charge-pump current, discharging the external GATE,
regulating OUTFB at the OVSET overvoltage threshold.
OUTFB remains active during the overvoltage transients
and the MOSFET continues to conduct during the overvoltage event, operating in switched-linear mode.
As the transient begins decreasing, OUTFB fall time will
depend on the MOSFET’s GATE charge, the internal
charge-pump current, the output load, and the tank
capacitor at OUTFB.
For fast-rising transients and very large-sized MOSFETs,
add an additional bypass capacitor from GATE to GND to
reduce the effect of the fast-rising voltages at IN. The
external capacitor acts as a voltage-divider working
against the MOSFET’s drain-to-gate capacitance. For a
6000pF gate-to-source capacitance, a 0.1µF capacitor at
GATE will reduce the impact of the fast-rising VIN input.
Caution must be exercised when operating the
MAX6495/MAX6496/MAX6499 in voltage-limiting mode
for long durations. If the VIN is a DC voltage greater than
the MOSFET’s maximum gate voltage, the MOSFET dissipates power continuously. To prevent damage to the
external MOSFET, proper heatsinking should be implemented.

GATE Voltage
The MAX6495–MAX6499 use a high-efficiency charge
pump to generate the GATE voltage. Upon VIN exceeding the 5V (typ) UVLO threshold, GATE enhances 10V
above VIN (for VIN ≥ 14V) with a 100µA pullup current.
An overvoltage condition occurs when the voltage at
OVSET goes above its V TH+ threshold. When the
threshold is crossed, GATE falls to OUTFB within 0.5µs
with a 100mA pulldown current. The MAX6495–MAX6499
include an internal clamp to OUTFB that ensures GATE
is limited to 18V (max) above OUTFB to prevent gateto-source damage of the external MOSFET.

MAX6495–MAX6499
72V, Overvoltage-Protection Switches/Limiter
Controllers with an External MOSFET
The gate cycles during overvoltage-limit and overvoltage-switch modes are quite similar but have distinct
characteristics. In overvoltage-switch mode, GATE is
enhanced to (VIN + 10V) while the monitored VIN voltage remains below the overvoltage fault threshold
(OVSET < V TH+). When an overvoltage fault occurs
(OVSET ≥ VTH+), GATE is pulled one diode drop below
OUTFB, turning off the external MOSFET and disconnecting the load from the input. GATE remains low
(MOSFET off) as long as the VIN voltage is above the
overvoltage fault threshold. As VIN falls back below the
overvoltage fault threshold, GATE is again enhanced to
(VIN + 10V).
In overvoltage-limit mode, GATE is enhanced to (VIN
+10V) while the monitored OUTFB voltage remains
below the overvoltage fault threshold (OVSET < VTH+).
When an overvoltage fault occurs (OVSET ≥ V TH+),
GATE is pulled one diode drop below OUTFB until
OUTFB drops 5% below the overvoltage fault threshold
(MAX6495/MAX6496/MAX6499). GATE is then turned
back on until OUTFB reaches the overvoltage fault
threshold and GATE is again turned off. GATE cycles in
a sawtooth waveform until OUTFB remains below the
overvoltage fault threshold and GATE remains constantly on (VIN +10V). The overvoltage limiter’s sawtooth GATE output operates the MOSFET in a
switched-linear mode while the input voltage remains
above the overvoltage fault threshold. The sawtooth frequency depends on the load capacitance, load current,
and MOSFET turn-on time (GATE charge current and
GATE capacitance).
GATE goes high when the following startup conditions
are met: VIN is above the UVLO threshold, SHDN is
high, an overvoltage fault is not present, and the device
is not in thermal shutdown.

VTRIPLOW = (VTH− )  TOTAL 

where RTOTAL = R1 + R2 + R3.
Use the following steps to determine the values for R1,
R2, and R3:
1) Choose a value for RTOTAL, the sum of R1, R2, and
R3. Because the MAX6499 has very high input
impedance, RTOTAL can be up to 5MΩ.
2) Calculate R3 based on R TOTAL and the desired
upper trip point:
R3 =

Undervoltage Monitoring (MAX6499)
The MAX6499 includes undervoltage and overvoltage
comparators for window detection (see Figures 3 and
12). GATE is enhanced and the n-channel MOSFET is
on when the monitored voltage is within the selected
“window.” When the monitored voltage falls below the
lower limit (V TRIPLOW ) or exceeds the upper limit
(VTRIPHIGH) of the window, GATE falls to OUTFB turning off the MOSFET. The application in Figure 3 shows
the MAX6499 enabling the DC-DC converter when the
monitored voltage is in the selected window.

Setting Overvoltage Thresholds
OVSET provides an accurate means to set the overvoltage level for the MAX6495–MAX6499. Use a resistive
divider to set the desired overvoltage condition (see
Figure 2). OVSET has a rising 1.24V threshold with a
5% falling hysteresis (MAX6495/MAX6496/MAX6499)
and a rising 0.505V threshold with a falling 0.15V
threshold (MAX6497/MAX6498).
Overvoltage Latch Function
The MAX6497/MAX6499 offers a latch function that prevents the external MOSFET from turning on until the
latch is cleared. For the MAX6497, the latch can be
cleared by cycling the power on the input IN to a voltage below the undervoltage lockout or by pulling the
shutdown input low and then back to a logic-high
state. The MAX6499 offers a CLEAR input that latches
the n-MOSFET off when CLEAR is high. The latch is
removed when the CLEAR input is plused low. Connect
CLEAR low to make the latch transparent.
Overvoltage Retry Function
The MAX6498 offers an automatic retry function that
tries to enhance the external n-channel MOSFET after
the overvoltage condition is removed. When the monitored
input voltage detects an overvoltage condition (VSET >
VTH+), the n-MOSFET is turned off. The MOSFET stays off
until the voltage at VSET falls below its VTH- (typically
0.13V), at which point the output tries to turn on again.
Applications Information
Load Dump
Most automotive applications run off a multicell “12V”
lead-acid battery with a nominal voltage that swings
between 9V and 16V (depending on load current,
charging status, temperature, battery age, etc.). The
battery voltage is distributed throughout the automobile
and is locally regulated down to voltages required by
the different system modules. Load dump occurs when
the alternator is charging the battery and the battery
becomes disconnected. The alternator voltage regulator is temporarily driven out of control. Power from the
alternator flows into the distributed power system and
elevates the voltage seen at each module. The voltage
spikes have rise times typically greater than 5ms and
decays within several hundred milliseconds but can
extend out to 1s or more depending on the characteristics of the charging system. These transients are capable of destroying sensitive electronic equipment on the
first “fault event.”
Begin by selecting the total end-to-end resistance,
RTOTAL = R1 + R2. Choose RTOTAL to yield a total current equivalent to a minimum 100 x ISET (OVSET’s input
bias current) at the desired overvoltage threshold.
For example:
With an overvoltage threshold (VOV) set to 20V for the
MAX6495/MAX6496/MAX6499, RTOTAL < 20V / (100 x
ISET), where ISET is OVSET’s 50nA (max) input bias current.
RTOTAL < 4MΩ
Use the following formula to calculate R2:
R2 = VTH+ ×
R TOTAL
VOV
where VTH+ is the 1.24V OVSET rising threshold and
VOV is the desired overvoltage threshold.
R2 = 246kΩ. Use a 243kΩ standard resistor.
R TOTAL = R2 + R1, where R1 = 3.754MΩ. Use a
3.74MΩ standard resistor.
A lower value for total resistance dissipates more
power but provides slightly better accuracy.
Reverse-Battery Protection
The MAX6496 is an overvoltage-protection circuit that
is capable of driving a p-channel MOSFET to prevent
reverse-battery conditions. This MOSFET eliminates the
need for external diodes, thus minimizing the input voltage drop (see Figure 7).
Inrush/Slew-Rate Control
Inrush current control can be implemented by placing a
capacitor from GATE to GND to slowly ramp up the
GATE, thus limiting the inrush current and controlling
GATE’s slew rate during initial turn-on. The inrush current can be approximated using the following equation:
IINRUSH =
COUT
× IGATE + ILOAD
CGATE
where IGATE is GATE’s 100µA sourcing current, ILOAD
is the load current at startup, and COUT is the output
capacitor.

MAX6495–MAX6499
Power-OK Output (MAX6497/MAX6498)
POK is an open-drain output that remains low when the
voltage at POKSET is below the internal POKSET
threshold (1.18V). POK goes high impedance when
POKSET goes above the internal POKSET threshold
(1.24V). Connect a resistive divider from OUTFB to
POKSET to adjust the desired undervoltage threshold.
Use a resistor in the 100kΩ range from POKSET to
GND to minimize current consumption.

MOSFET Selection
Select external MOSFETs according to the application
current level. The MOSFET’s on-resistance (RDS(ON))
should be chosen low enough to have a minimum voltage drop at full load to limit the MOSFET power dissipation. Determine the device power rating to
accommodate an overvoltage fault when operating the
MAX6495/MAX6496/MAX6499 in overvoltage-limit mode.
During normal operation, the external MOSFET dissipates little power. The power dissipated in the MOSFET
during normal operation is:
P = ILOAD2 x RDS(ON)
where P is the power dissipated in the MOSFET, ILOAD
is the output load current, and RDS(ON) is the drain-tosource resistance of the MOSFET.
Most power dissipation in the MOSFET occurs during a
prolonged overvoltage event when operating the
MAX6495/MAX6496/MAX6499 in voltage-limiter mode.
The power dissipated across the MOSFET is as follows
(see the Thermal Shutdown in Overvoltage-Limiter
Mode section):
P = VDS x ILOAD
where VDS is the voltage across the MOSFET’s drain
and source.
Thermal Shutdown
The MAX6495–MAX6499 thermal-shutdown feature
turns off GATE if it exceeds the maximum allowable
thermal dissipation. Thermal shutdown also monitors
the PC board temperature of the external n-channel
MOSFET when the devices sit on the same thermal
island. Good thermal contact between the MAX6495–
MAX6499 and the external n-channel MOSFET is essential for the thermal-shutdown feature to operate effectively. Place the n-channel MOSFET as close to
possible to OUTFB.
When the junction temperature exceeds TJ = +160°C,
the thermal sensor signals the shutdown logic, turning
off the GATE output and allowing the device to cool.
The thermal sensor turns the GATE on again after the
IC’s junction temperature cools by 20°C. Thermal-overload protection is designed to protect the MAX6495–
MAX6499 and the external MOSFET in the event of current-limit fault conditions. For continuous operation, do
not exceed the absolute maximum junction-temperature rating of TJ = +150°C.
Thermal Shutdown in Overvoltage-Limiter Mode
When operating the MAX6495/MAX6496/MAX6499 in
overvoltage-limit mode for a prolonged period of time, a
thermal shutdown is possible. The thermal shutdown is
dependent on a number of different factors:
• The device’s ambient temperature
• The output capacitor (COUT)
• The output load current (IOUT)
• The overvoltage threshold limit (VOV)
• The overvoltage waveform period (tOV)
• The power dissipated across the package (PDISS)
During an initial overvoltage occurrence, the discharge
time (∆t1) of COUT, caused by IOUT and IGATEPD. The
discharge time is approximately:
∆t1 = COUT
VOV × 0.95
(IOUT + IGATEPD )
where VOV is the overvoltage threshold, IOUT is the
load current, and IGATEPD is the GATE’s 100mA pulldown current.
Upon OUT falling below the threshold point, the
MAX6495/MAX6496/MAX6499s’ charge-pump current
must recover and begins recharging the external GATE
voltage. The time needed to recharge GATE from -VD
to the MOSFET’s gate threshold voltage is:
∆t 2 = CISS
VGS(TH) + VD
IGATE
where C ISS is the MOSFET’s input capacitance,
VGS(TH) is the MOSFET’s gate threshold voltage, VD is
the internal clamp (from OUTFB to GATE) diode’s forward voltage and IGATE is the charge-pump current
(100µA typ).

∆V2 = IOUT

COUT
Once the MOSFET VGS(TH) is obtained, the slope of the
output-voltage rise is determined by the MOSFET Qg
charge through the internal charge pump with respect
to the drain potential. The new rise time needed to
reach a new overvoltage event can be calculated using
the following formula:
∆t 3 ≅
QGD ∆VOUT
VGS IGATE
where QGD is the gate-to-drain charge.
The total period of the overvoltage waveform can be
summed up as follows:
tOV = ∆t1 + ∆t2 + ∆t3
The MAX6495/MAX6496/MAX6499 dissipate the most
power during an overvoltage event when IOUT = 0. The
maximum power dissipation can be approximated
using the following equation:
∆t1
∆t OV
PDISS = VOV × 0.975 × IGATEPD ×
The die-temperature increase is related to θJC (8.3°C/W
and 8.5°C/W for the MAX6495/MAX6496/MAX6499,
respectively) of the package when mounted correctly
with a strong thermal contact to the circuit board. The
MAX6495/MAX6496/MAX6499 thermal shutdown is
governed by the equation:
TJ = TA + PDISS x θJC < +170°C
