Maxim Integrated MAX1614EUA

Description
The MAX1614 is a high-side, n-channel MOSFET switch driver designed for battery power-switching functions in portable equipment. It features an internal micropower regulator and charge pump that generate the high-side drive output voltage without requiring external components. The MAX1614 also includes a 1.5%-accurate low-battery comparator for indicating low-battery conditions, providing early power-fail warnings, or disconnecting the battery from the load to prevent deep discharge.
