Quad-channel current-limit switch for automotive camera modules
The MAX20089ATPA/VY+ is a quad-channel current switch from Analog Devices, purpose-built as a camera protector for automotive vision systems. Each of the four independent channels delivers up to 600 mA, with the input accepting a 3V to 15V rail — covering the full automotive battery range from cold-crank to load-dump recovery. The ±8% current-limit accuracy means the designer budgets the full tolerance band when sizing the load, not a tighter typical value.
Wettable-flank package for automated optical inspection
Housed in a 20-WFQFN Exposed Pad (4x4 mm body, 20-TQFN-EP supplier package), the part features a wettable flank — the side of the QFN terminals are plated so that solder fillet formation is visible to AOI systems. This eliminates the need for X-ray inspection on the hidden QFN terminations and is standard for automotive PPAP builds. The exposed pad on the underside must be soldered to a thermal land on the PCB; the pad carries the heat from the four output switches. Supplied in Tray format, the part is compatible with standard pick-and-place handling.
No pin-compatible second-source or successor is listed, so the BOM position is single-sourced to this Analog Devices order code.
