controller IC. This device can be used both in forward or
flyback configurations with input voltage ranges from 11V
to 76V. It provides comprehensive protection mechanisms
against possible faults, resulting in very high reliability
power supplies. When used in conjunction with secondary
side synchronous rectification, power-supply efficiencies
can easily reach 92% for a +3.3V output power supply
operated from a 48V bus. The integrated high- and low-
side gate drivers provide more than 2A of peak gate-drive
current to two external N-channel MOSFETs. Low startup
current reduces the power loss across the bootstrap
resistor. A feed-forward voltagemode topology provides
excellent line rejection while avoiding the pitfalls of tradi-
tional current-mode control.
The MAX5051 power-supply controller is primary as well
as secondary-side parallelable, allowing the design of
scaleable power systems when necessary. When paral-
leling the primary side, dedicated pins allow for simultane-
ous wakeup or shutdown of all paralleled units, thus pre-
venting current-hogging during startup or fault conditions.
The MAX5051 generates a lookahead signal for driving
secondary-side synchronous MOSFETs. Special primary-
side synchronization inputs/outputs allow two primaries to
be operated 180° out of phase for increased output power
and lower input ripple currents.
The MAX5051 is available in a 28-pin TSSOP-EP pack-
age and operates over a wide -40°C to +125°C tempera-
ture range.
Warning: The MAX5051 is designed to work with high
voltages. Exercise caution.
