Wide Input Range, Synchronizable,
PWM SLIC Power Supply
MAX1856
General Description
The MAX1856 offers a low-cost solution for generating a
SLIC (ringer and off-hook) power supply. Using standard
off-the-shelf transformers from multiple vendors, the
MAX1856 generates various output voltages: -24V and
-72V (dual output) for both ringer and off-hook supplies for
voice-enabled broadband consumer premises equipment
(CPE), -48V for IP phones and routers, -5V and -15V (sin-
gle or dual output) for DSL CO line drivers, or negative
voltages as high as -185V for MEMS bias supplies. The
output voltages are adjusted with an external voltage
divider.
Due to its wide operating voltage range, the MAX1856
operates from a low-cost, unregulated DC power supply
for cost-sensitive applications like xDSL, cable modems,
set-top boxes, LMDS, MMDS, WLL, and FTTH CPE. The
MAX1856 provides low audio-band noise for talk battery
and a sturdy output capable of handling the ring trip con-
ditions for ring battery.
The operating frequency can be set between 100kHz and
500kHz with an external resistor in free-running mode. For
noise-sensitive applications, the MAX1856’s operating fre-
quency can be synchronized to an external clock over its
operating frequency range.
The flyback topology allows operation close to 50% duty
cycle, offering high transformer utilization, low ripple cur-
rent, and less stress on input and output capacitors.
Internal soft-start minimizes startup stress on the input
capacitor, without any external components.
The MAX1856’s current-mode control scheme does not
require external loop compensation. The low-side current-
sense resistor provides accurate current-mode control
and overcurrent protection.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 1:
This is the V
CC
current consumed when active, but not switching, so the gate-drive current is not included.
Note 2:
The reference output voltage (VREF) is measured with respect to FB. The difference between REF and FB is guaranteed to
be within these limits to ensure output voltage accuracy.
Note 3:
Specifications to -40°C are guaranteed by design, not production tested.
