General Description
The MAX5019/MAX5020 integrate all the building
blocks necessary for implementing DC-DC fixed-fre-
quency power supplies. Either primary- or secondary-
side regulation may be used to implement isolated or
nonisolated power supplies. These devices are current-
mode controllers with an integrated high-voltage start-
up circuit suitable for telecom/industrial voltage range
power supplies. Current-mode control with leading-
edge blanking simplifies control-loop design and inter-
nal ramp compensation circuitry stabilizes the current
loop when operating at duty cycles above 50%
(MAX5019). The MAX5019 allows 85% operating duty
cycle and can be used to implement flyback converters
whereas the MAX5020 limits the operating duty cycle to
less than 50% and can be used in single-ended for-
ward converters. A high-voltage startup circuit allows
these devices to draw power directly from the 18V to
110V input supply during startup. The switching fre-
quency is internally trimmed to 275kHz ±10%, thus
reducing magnetics and filter component costs.
The MAX5019/MAX5020 are available in 8-pin SO
packages.
Warning: The MAX5019/MAX5020 operate with high
voltages. Exercise caution.
