Push-Pull FET Driver with Integrated Oscillator
and Programmable Clock Output
General Description
The MAX5077 is a +4.5V to +15V push-pull, current-fed
topology driver subsystem with an integrated oscillator
used in telecom module power supplies. The device
drives two MOSFETs connected to a center-tapped
transformer primary providing secondary-side, isolated,
negative or positive voltages. The MAX5077 features a
programmable accurate integrated oscillator with a
synchronizing clock output to synchronize an external
PWM regulator. A single external resistor programs the
internal oscillator frequency from 50kHz to 1.5MHz.
The MAX5077 incorporates dual MOSFET drivers with
±3A peak drive currents and 50% duty cycle. The
MOSFET drivers generate complementary signals to
drive external ground-referenced n-channel MOSFETs.
The MAX5077 clock output frequency is programmable
by logic inputs to set the clock output to 1x, 2x, or 4x
the MOSFET’s driver frequency.
The MAX5077 is available in a 14-pin exposed pad
TSSOP package and is specified over the -40°C to
+125°C operating temperature range.

Note 1:
The MAX5077 is 100% tested at T
A
= T
J
= +125°C. All limits over temperature are guaranteed by design.
Note 2:
Use the following formula to calculate the MAX5077 oscillator frequency: f
OSC
= 10
12
/ (32 x R
RT
).
Note 3:
The accuracy of the oscillator’s frequency is lower at frequencies greater than 1MHz.
