4A current switch for load monitoring and protection
The MAX1562HESA+T is a current switch from Analog Devices that switches a 4A output when the sensed current crosses a threshold, configurable for high-side or low-side sensing.
Sensing method and output current
Rated for 4A continuous output, the part acts as a threshold-triggered switch rather than a linear current monitor — the output toggles when the load current exceeds the programmed limit. High/low-side sensing means the sense resistor can sit on either the supply or ground leg, giving the board designer placement flexibility around the load.
Active production and compliance status
Analog Devices lists the MAX1562HESA+T as Active in its current product portfolio. The device is ROHS3 Compliant, meaning it meets the latest EU restriction on hazardous substances without exemptions.
