Programmable Switching Frequency
4 _______________________________________________________________________________________
Note 1: All devices are 100% tested at T
A
= +125°C. All limits over temperature are guaranteed by characterization.
Note 2: The MAX17500 is intended for use in universal input power supplies. The internal clamp circuit at IN is used to prevent the
bootstrap capacitor (C1 in Figure 1) from charging to a voltage beyond the absolute maximum rating of the device when
UVLO/EN is low (shutdown mode). Externally limit the maximum current to IN (hence to clamp) to 2mA maximum when
UVLO/EN is low. Clamp currents higher than 2mA may result in a clamp voltage higher than 30V, thus exceeding the
absolute maximum rating for IN. For the MAX17499, do not exceed the 24V maximum operating voltage of the device.
Note 3: V
REF
is measured with FB connected to COMP (see the
Functional Diagram
).
Note 4: The oscillator in the MAX17499A/MAX17500A is capable of operating up to 2500kHz. However, the NDRV switching fre-
quency is limited to operate up to 625kHz. Thus, the oscillator frequency for the MAX17499A/MAX17500A must be limited to
1250kHz (maximum).
