SUNNYVALE, CA—January 24, 2008—Maxim Integrated Products (Pink Sheets: MXIM) introduces the MAX4987AE/MAX4987BE* overvoltage-protection (OVP) controllers with internal overcurrent protection. These devices integrate low-capacitance (3pF, typ) diodes to provide robust, ±15kV ESD protection (Human Body Model) for Hi-Speed USB and USB (full-speed or low-speed) D+/D- signals. The MAX4987AE/MAX4987BE are ideal for space-constrained applications-such as cell phones, smartphones, PDAs, MP3 players, and portable video players-that are attached to USB ports for connectivity or charging. |
