FireWire Current Limiter and Low-Drop
ORing Switch Controller
Figure 1. MAX5943 Functional Diagram
The MAX5943 performs hot-swapping, power-supply
ORing, and current limiting for FireWire power-supply
applications. The MAX5943 incorporates two MOSFET
drivers (GATE1 and GATE2) to control two external
n-channel power MOSFETs to perform low-voltage-drop
power-supply ORing (GATE1) and hot swapping and
current limiting (GATE2) from the input power supply to
the load. A sense resistor provides accurate current-
limiting/circuit-breaker function. GATE1 and GATE2
provide true load disconnect to prevent current flowing
from either direction between IN and OUT.
The MAX5943 remains in low-current shutdown mode
when V
shutdown mode disables the MAX5943, resulting in
less than 10µA supply current. Shutdown places all

logic inputs in a high-impedance state allowing the
inputs to be connected to IN without drawing additional
current from the supply.
When the input supply voltage (V
V
turns on, sourcing 45µA current from GATE2 (current
regulation) to enhance Q2 slowly. For the MAX5943A, if
the voltage across the current-sense resistor, V
greater than the programmed current-limit threshold,
the MAX5943A regulates the GATE2 voltage to limit the
load current at the current-limit level so that V
to V
GATE2 rises to approximately 5.5V above OUT. Since
the MAX5943B–MAX5943E do not regulate the load
current, a capacitor can be added from GATE2 to GND
to limit inrush current during startup (see the
Applications Information section).
