MAX5913 RLYD_ is opposite to that of the MAX5914.
For the MAX5913, upon the assertion of the RLYON_
input RLYD_ sinks 100mA to DGND. For the MAX5914
when RLYON_ is high, an internal 1mA current source
pulls up RLYD_ to V
DD
. A 100mA catch diode is inter-
nally connected between RYLD_ and V
RLY
to protect
the MAX5913/MAX5914 from inductive kicks from the
relay coil. V
RLY
must be connected to the high-side
relay supply voltage.
Programmable Timing, RTIM
An external resistor from RTIM to DGND sets the fre-
quency of the internal oscillator upon which t
O
and the
auto-retry times are based.
Use 2k
to 40k
resistors for R
RTIM
.
t
O
= (R
RTIM
/ 2k
) (6.4ms)
If RTIM is unconnected (floating), an internal resistor
sets t
O
to a nominal 6.4ms.
Auto-Retry and Programmable Duty Cycle
The MAX5913/MAX5914 feature auto-retry with
adjustable duty cycle. Driving RTRYEN high enables
the auto-retry function. When the switch encounters an
overcurrent for a period greater than t
O
the switch is
turned off, and remains off for a t
OFF
programmed by
DC, a three-level input. After the t
OFF
period, the switch
is automatically turned on again. When the port
encounters a continuous overload or short-circuit con-
dition, the switch turns on and off repeatedly with the
on duty cycle of 1%, 2%, or 4% depending on the DC
input state (Table 2). When RTRYEN is low, the auto-
retry is disabled, and a fault condition at the switch
turns the switch off and the switch remains latched off.
Driving the corresponding ON control input low resets
the latch. Pulling ON high to turn on the switch.
However, the MAX5913/MAX5914 always waits a mini-
mum time t
OFF
,before restarting the switch.
Logic Interface and Status Outputs
The MAX5913/MAX5914 logic interface controls the
device functionality. All the basic control functions for
the four switches are separated. ON_ enables individual
on/off control of each MOSFET (the corresponding relay
must be on to turn on the switch). RLYON_ enables indi-
vidual on/off control of each relay. STAT_ indicates
Power-OK or Port-OC (open circuit) status of each
switch. The other logic pins are common to all four
switches. A single
FAULT
output goes low when any of
the four channels is latched off. Driving OCEN high
enables the open-circuit detectors. Driving RTRYEN
high enables the auto-retry function, RTRYEN low
enables the switch latch-off function. DC, a three-level
logic input, programs the duty cycle. The STATOUT
input selects the signal multiplexed at STAT_ outputs
(Table 1.). Driving STATOUT high routes Power-OK sta-
tus to the STAT_ outputs. Driving STATOUT low routes
Port-OC status to the STAT_ outputs.
Fault Management
UVLO and Power-OK
The MAX5913/MAX5914 monitor the V
CC
input voltage
and each switch
’
s current and voltage to determine
Power-OK, overcurrent, or Port-OC status. When V
CC
falls below the UVLO threshold,
FAULT
goes low and
all four switches and relays are turned off. When the
volage across the switch is less than 1.5V, the switch is
fully on, and if the switch is not in current limit or open
circuit, Power-OK status is good (high).
