MAX5070/MAX5071
Advance Clock Output (ADV_CLK) (MAX5071C)
ADV_CLK is an advanced pulse output provided to
facilitate the easy implementation of secondary-side
synchronous rectification using the MAX5071C. The
ADV_CLK pulse width is 85ns (typically) with its rising
edge leading the rising edge of OUT by 110ns. Use
this leading pulse to turn off the secondary-side syn-
chronous-rectifier MOSFET (QS) before the voltage
appears on the secondary (see Figure 8). Turning off
the secondary-side synchronous MOSFET earlier
avoids the shorting of the secondary in the forward
converter. The ADV_CLK pulse can be propagated to
the secondary side using a pulse transformer or high-
speed optocoupler. The 85ns pulse, with 3V drive volt-
age (10mA source), significantly reduces the
volt-second requirement of the pulse transformer and
the advanced pulse alleviates the need for a high-
speed optocoupler.
Thermal Shutdown
When the MAX5070/MAX5071s’ die temperature goes
above +150°C, the thermal-shutdown circuitry will shut
down the 5V reference and pull OUT low.
