MAX5058 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX5058 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested circuit board that contains a high-efficiency,
50W, isolated, synchronously rectified forward convert-
er in the industry-standard 1/8th brick pinout. The cir-
cuit is configured for a +3.3V output voltage and pro-
vides up to 15A of output current. The circuit can be
powered from either a +36V to +72V or -36V to -72V DC
source in applications such as telecom/datacom (48V
modules), industrial environments, or in automotive 42V
power systems.
Using a clamped two-transistor power topology on the
primary side and synchronous rectifiers on the secondary
side achieves high efficiency up to 91% and is achieved
at 9A. The efficiency improvement on the secondary side
is achieved through synchronous rectification using the
MAX5058 secondary-side synchronous rectifier driver
and feedback generator controller IC, which drives two
n-channel MOSFETs. Additionally, the recovery of stored
leakage and magnetizing inductance energy at the pri-
mary side contributes to the overall efficiency improve-
ment. The primary side uses a MAX5051 parallelable,
clamped, two-switch power-supply controller IC. Galvanic
isolation up to 500V is achieved with an optocoupler,
pulse-signal transformer, and planar surface-mount
power transformer.
Operation at 250kHz allows the use of small magnetics
and output capacitors. The EV kit provides cycle-by-
cycle current-limit protection. Additional steady-state
fault protection is provided by an integrating fault pro-
tection that reduces average dissipated power during
continuous short-circuit conditions. The MAX5051 also
has a programmable undervoltage lockout (UVLO).
Multiple MAX5058 EV kits can be paralleled for
increased power capability when high output current is
required. Margin-up/down capability enables an
increase or decrease in the output voltage. The EV kit
demonstrates the MAX5058 look-ahead signal capabili-
ty, on-board error amplifier, and reference voltage
source. Remote-load voltage sensing allows accurate
voltage regulation at the load.
Warning: The MAX5058 EV kit is designed to operate
with high voltages. Dangerous voltages are present
on this EV kit and on equipment connected to it.
Users who power up this EV kit or power the
sources connected to it must be careful to follow
safety procedures appropriate to working with high-
voltage electrical equipment.
Under severe fault or failure conditions, this EV kit
may dissipate large amounts of power, which could
result in the mechanical ejection of a component or
of component debris at high velocity. Operate this kit
with care to avoid possible personal injury.
The user must supply an additional 100µF bulk stor-
age capacitor between the EV kit’s +VIN and -VIN
input terminals before powering up or the MAX5058
EV kit may be damaged.

MAX5058 Evaluation Kit
No Load Output
1) Connect a voltmeter to the VOUT and SGND pins to
measure the output voltage.
2) Connect the positive terminal of a 36V to 72V power
supply to the +VIN terminal. Connect the power
supply’s ground to the -VIN terminal.
3) Turn on the power supply above 36V and verify that
the voltmeter reads +3.3V.
Note:
For improved voltage regulation at the load, con-
nect a 22-gauge twisted-pair cable from the VS+ and
VS- terminals of the MAX5058 EV kit, to the load posi-
tive and ground terminals, respectively. Connect the
VOUT and SGND terminals to the load with power
cables sized to carry the full load current, up to 15A.
The planar surface-mount transformer features a bias
winding that, along with diode D5, current-limiting resis-
tor R18, and reservoir capacitor C21, powers the
MAX5051 once the input voltage is stable. Upon initial
input voltage application, bootstrap resistor R22 and
capacitor C21 enable the MAX5051 to startup within
approximately 70ms. No reset windings are required on
the transformer with a clamped two-transistor power
topology, simplifying transformer design and maximizing
the available copper window in the transformer. When
both external primary-side transistors turn off, Schottky
diodes D2 and D3 recover the magnetic energy stored in
the core and feed it back to the input supply. The trans-
former provides galvanic isolation up to 500V.
On the transformer’s secondary side, the MAX5058
built-in error amplifier, reference voltage source, and
feedback resistors R1 and R2 provide voltage feed-
back to the primary side through optocoupler U2.
Resistor R12 sets the reference voltage for the
MAX5058 to 1.657V. Margin-up/down capability
enables an increase or decrease in the output voltage
by 5% and is configurable by replacing resistors R32
and R33. On the primary side, the MAX5051 receives
the voltage-feedback signal from biasing resistor R3
and compensation resistor/capacitor networks R11/C17
and C24 connected to optocoupler U2.
Pulse transformer T2 provides a galvanically isolated
signal to the MAX5058 secondary-side synchronous
rectifier driver circuit from the MAX5051 PWM primary-
side signal. This look-ahead signal avoids large current
spikes resulting from a shorted transformer secondary
when the freewheeling synchronous rectifier (N4) and
primary-side MOSFETs concurrently conduct.
The MAX5051 controller switches at a 250kHz frequency
set by resistor R21 and capacitor C1. The duty cycle is
varied to control energy transfer to the output. The
maximum duty cycle is 50% for the EV kit’s synchro-
nously rectified forward converter design and is limited
by the MAX5051.
The MAX5058 EV kit features output-voltage soft-start,
thus eliminating any output-voltage overshoots. Soft-
start allows the output voltage to slowly ramp up in a
controlled manner within approximately 3ms. Capacitor
C5 sets the soft-start time. The brownout UVLO thresh-
old voltage is set by resistors R5 and R6. This prevents
the power supply from operating below the minimum
input supply voltage.
Multiple MAX5058 EV kits can be easily paralleled for
increased power capabilities when high output current
is required. Parallel-connected resistors R20 and R36
facilitate current sharing when multiple MAX5058 EV

Detailed Description
The MAX5058 EV kit is a 50W, isolated, synchronously
rectified forward converter that provides +3.3V at up to
15A output. The circuit can be powered from a
±36V
to
±72V
DC source.
The user must supply an additional
100µF bulk storage capacitor between the +VIN and
-VIN input terminals before powering up or the
MAX5058 EV kit may be damaged.
This capacitor
should be rated for 100V and be able to carry 1.5A of
ripple current. Lower ripple-current-rated capacitors
should be acceptable for short-term operation.
The 50W forward converter achieves high efficiency by
using a clamped two-transistor power topology at the
primary input and synchronous rectifiers on the sec-
ondary output side. A MAX5051 parallelable, clamped,
two-switch, power-supply controller IC switches the two
primary-side, 100V-rated transistors, N1 and N2. A
MAX5058 secondary-side synchronous rectifier driver
and feedback generator controller IC drives two sur-
face-mount SO-8 n-channel 30V-rated MOSFETs con-
figured as synchronous rectifiers on the secondary
side. MOSFET N3 provides secondary-side rectification
and MOSFET N4 synchronously rectifies the current
flowing through freewheeling diode D4.
The PC board footprint is minimized by using surface-
mount SO-8 n-channel MOSFETs on the primary side.
Cycle-by-cycle current limiting protects the converter
against short circuits at the output. For a continuous
short circuit at the output, the MAX5051’s fault integra-
tion feature provides hiccup fault protection, thus greatly
minimizing excessive temperature rise. Current-sense
resistor R17 senses the current through the primary of
transformer T1 and both primary-side transistors N1 and
N2 are turned off when the trip level of 154mV (typ) is
reached. The programmable integrating fault protection
allows transient overload conditions to be ignored and is
configured by resistor R4 and capacitor C7.
