Automotive applications require <100µA sleep mode current for electrical control units and other systems. In this sleep mode the device must not be shut down completely but some essential functions are still powered.
MAX16141 offers a speical sleep mode that works with an internal reverse protected power path. In this mode the device consumes only 10µA while being able to deliver 400µA from the reverse protected input voltage to the system.
This is a unique feature that allows the system designer to have a low ohmic reverse protection in operation while still achieving the system's low current requirements during sleep mode.
