The Current Limit 6 Click Board™ is a compact add-on board representing a current-limiting solution. This board features the MAX17608, adjustable overvoltage, and overcurrent protection device from Maxim Integrated, now part of Analog Devices. This Click board™ is ideal for protecting systems with the flexible input overvoltage protection range from 4.5V to 60V, and the adjustable input under-voltage protection range is 4.5V to 59V. Also, the maximum current limit is 1A and can be programmed through a digital potentiometer MAX5401. When the device current reaches the programmed threshold, the device prevents further current increases by modulating the FET resistance.
The Current Limit 6 Click Board™ is suitable for applications in portable equipment, process instrumentation, and condition monitoring, or with power supplies, protecting them in a short circuit or other overload conditions.
