Signal-Line Overvoltage Protector
for Low-Voltage Devices
The MAX9940 signal-line overvoltage protector for lowvoltage digital communication ports provides protection
against high-voltage faults and ESD strikes. The
MAX9940 is especially useful for sensitive communication protocols such as Maxim 1-Wire ® that cannot
afford standard means of fault protection, such as large
series resistors or large line capacitances.
The MAX9940 operates from a single supply voltage of
+2.2V to +5.5V and consumes only 13µA of quiescent
supply current. The EXT port is protected up to 28V.
The device features a reaction time of 60ns for fast
action during fault conditions and operates over the
-40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range.

Detailed Description
The MAX9940 is a signal-line overvoltage protector for
low-voltage devices that provides circuit protection
from high-voltage faults and ESD strikes. The device
provides protection in digital communication lines such
as 1-Wire and I2C protocols where large series resistance and capacitances cannot be used to provide
protection due to their impact on VIL/VIH levels and
communication timing. The MAX9940 includes a series
switch that connects INT to EXT. When a high-voltage
fault condition occurs on EXT, the MAX9940 quickly
shuts off the series switch and isolates the low-voltage
device from the fault condition. In addition to providing
DC fault isolation, the MAX9940 also provides up to
±4kV IEC 61000-4 contact ESD protection on EXT. The
MAX9940 is ideal for circuits that require low-voltage
devices that communicate to the outside world over
connector ports that can expose them to hazardous
high-voltage DC faults and ESD strikes.
Series Switch
The MAX9940 features a series switch to connect a
low-voltage device such as a microcontroller to an
external communication device such as a 1-Wire or I2C
slave. The internal switch is turned off when disabled or
if a fault condition exists, isolating the microcontroller
from any possible damage. The nominal switch resistance is 38Ω (typ). The series switch is composed of
parallel DMOS and HV-pMOS devices as shown in the
Block Diagram/Typical Application Circuit. The series
switch cell contains circuitry that ensures the pMOS
device turns off properly when the voltage at EXT
exceeds the supply voltage. The switch can withstand
a maximum voltage of 28V at EXT.
Comparator
The MAX9940 features a low-power, high-speed comparator that is used to turn off the series switch if a
high-voltage condition is detected on EXT. The nominal
hysteresis of the comparator is 128mV (typical). Fault
voltages on EXT that are slightly above VCC trigger the
comparator to quickly isolate INT and EXT channels
from each other. In this mode, the MAX9940 is able to
withstand 28V on EXT. Negative voltages on EXT are
allowed as long as they are current-limited to less than
20mA.
Typical Application Circuits
The innovative design of the MAX9940 allows it to withstand large DC voltages up to 28V at INT and EXT even
when VCC is 0. This allows application-specific powersaving and fault-protection schemes to be implemented.
Figures 1 and 2 show two methods of powering the
MAX9940 from an ENABLE digital output port of the
microcontroller. Figure 3 shows the conventional method
of operating the MAX9940 with both pullup resistor for
digital communication on DATA (RP) and VCC being
connected directly to VDD of the microcontroller.

Figure 1. Recommended Scheme for Battery-Operated Devices that Need to Shut Down the MAX9940 and Prevent Power Draw
During Short to GND Faults
In all three schemes, the MAX9940 protects the microcontroller from both DC fault voltages above VCC and
ESD strikes on EXT. The difference in the three
schemes lies in the impact on power consumption in
battery-operated devices during normal and short to
GND fault conditions.
Figure 1 shows a recommended configuration for batteryoperated devices that need to conserve power both on
a continuous basis as well as during short to GND fault
conditions. In this scheme, the ENABLE port of a microcontroller supplies the quiescent current for the
MAX9940 as well as that required for digital communication (i.e., RP pullup resistor). By forcing a 0 on the
ENABLE digital output port of the microcontroller, the
MAX9940 is in a zero-power shutdown mode, while also
preventing any power drain to occur in the event of a
short to GND fault on EXT. As stated earlier, EXT maintains the ability to withstand DC voltages up to 28V
even when VCC = 0.
In Figure 2, the ENABLE port of a microcontroller powers the MAX9940. The low 13µA operating current
allows standard digital I/O ports to easily supply the
6
operating current of the MAX9940 without any substantial voltage drop (VOH ≈ VDD). By forcing a 0 on the
ENABLE port of the microcontroller, the MAX9940 can
be put into a zero-power mode, thus conserving battery
power. It should be noted that there is no internal ESD
diode from INT to VCC. This allows the voltage at INT to
stay at VDD even though VCC = 0, thus drawing no current from RP or the battery. However, an internal diode
does exist from INT to EXT, and therefore, in the event
of a short to GND fault on EXT, current is drawn through
RP, causing a power drain from VDD, and can potentially reduce battery life.
In Figure 3, VDD powers the MAX9940 directly, and
consumes quiescent current on a continuous basis. In
this mode, the internal FET between INT and EXT is
kept on as long as the voltage on EXT is below VCC. As
a result, in the event of a short to GND fault on EXT,
current is drawn through RP, causing a power drain
from VDD and potentially reducing battery life.
