Maxim Integrated Products, a worldwide manufacturer of highly integrated analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, introduced the MAX16919/MAX16969 Hi-Speed USB 2.0 automotive-grade protectors with iPod/iPhone fast-charge detection and USB host-charger detection for all USB gadgets.

The protectors feature fast-charge detection and support both Hi-Speed USB (480Mbps) and full-speed USB (12Mbps) operation, which enable consumers recharge their USB devices while driving. In addition, the MAX16919/MAX16969 are claimed to be the only fully integrated automotive-grade USB protectors; they possess several automotive-specific features, including short-to-battery and short-to-ground protections, which are required in today’s harsh automotive environment. These devices are very ideal for automotive radio, navigation, connectivity, and USB hub applications. The company also provides system-level modeling and simulation support to achieve the best performance for customer-specific applications. The integrated host-charger detection circuitry and the adjustable current capability (3A) allow the USB peripheral devices to be charged quickly and efficiently. The industry’s lowest on-resistance BUS switch minimizes line drop, ensuring USB compliance, according to the company.
