What this product does: The MAX16065 manages up to twelve supply voltages simultaneously, and the MAX16066 manages up to eight supply voltages.
Why it's good: The devices eliminate the need for external current-sense amplifiers to monitor current and thus save both space and cost. Each device can be programmed for monitoring and sequencing system voltages. The MAX16065/MAX16066 adds flexibility, simplifys designs, saves board space, and reduces costs.
Group sequency funtionality allows parts of a system to be shut down at certain programmed times to conserve power, again reducing power consumption and making the application greener
Another handy feature is the GUI configuration tool, allowing the quick generation of data for fault anaylsis or to test different configurations with an an I2C or JTAG interface.
Applications: Network/Telecoms
