Applications Information The MAX889 features two current-limit/soft-start levels Resistor Selection with corresponding response to rising and falling out- (Setting the Output Voltage) put voltage thresholds of -0.6V and -1.5V.

When the falling output voltage crosses -0.6V, such as possible, with resistors mounted close to the FB pin. as during a short-circuit condition, the MAX889 further weakens the charge-pump switches, immediately limit- ing input current to 200mA.
