HI DEAR,
The MAX5944 operates over the 7.5V to 37V input range and provides inrush and output current limit in addition to diode ORing functions suitable for FireWire applications.
The MAX5944 allows the safe insertion and removal of FireWire peripherals into a live FireWire port by providing inrush current control and output current-limiting functions. The MAX5944 features a current-limit function that actively limits the current drawn by the load with a 2ms timeout. Its autoretry function then automatically restarts after the 259ms autoretry delay time.
