High-Frequency, Current-Mode PWM Controller
with Accurate Programmable Oscillator
General Description
The MAX5068 is a high-frequency, current-mode,
pulse-width modulation (PWM) controller that integrates
all the building blocks necessary for implementing AC-
DC or DC-DC fixed-frequency power supplies. Isolated
or nonisolated power supplies are easily constructed
using either primary- or secondary-side regulation.
Current-mode control with leading-edge blanking sim-
plifies control-loop design, and a programmable inter-
nal slope-compensation circuit stabilizes the current
loop when operating at duty cycles above 50%. The
MAX5068A/B limit the maximum duty cycle to 50% for
use in single-ended forward converters. The
MAX5068C/D/E/F allow duty cycles up to 75%. The
MAX5068 features an accurate externally programma-
ble oscillator that simplifies system design.
An input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) programs the
input-supply startup voltage and ensures proper opera-
tion during brownout conditions.
A single external resistor programs the output switching
frequency from 12.5kHz to 1.25MHz. The MAX5068A/
B/C/E provide a SYNC input for synchronization to an
external clock. The maximum FET-driver duty cycle is
50% for the MAX5068A/B and 75% for the MAX5068C/
D/E/F. Programmable hiccup current limit provides
additional protection under severe faults.
The MAX5068 is specified over the -40°C to +125°C
automotive temperature range and is available in a
16-pin thermally enhanced TSSOP-EP package. Refer to
the MAX5069 data sheet for dual FET-driver applications.
Warning:
The MAX5068 is designed to work with high
voltages. Exercise caution.

Note 1:
The MAX5068 is 100% tested at T
A
= +25°C. All limits over temperature are guaranteed by design.
Note 2:
The MAX5068A/B are intended for use in universal-input power supplies. The internal clamp circuit is used to prevent the
bootstrap capacitor (C1 in Figure 1) from charging to a voltage beyond the absolute maximum rating of the device when
UVLO/EN is low. The maximum current to V
IN
(hence to clamp) when UVLO is low (device is in shutdown) must be external-
ly limited to 2mA. Clamp currents higher than 2mA may result in clamp voltages higher than 30V, thus exceeding the
absolute maximum rating for V
IN
. For the MAX5068C/D, do not exceed the 24V maximum operating voltage of the device.
Note 3:
Reference voltage (V
REF
) is measured with FB connected to COMP (see the
Functional Diagram).
Note 4:
The SYNC frequency must be at least 25% higher than the programmed oscillator frequency.
Note 5:
The internal oscillator clock cycle.
Note 6:
The MAX5068A/B driver switching frequency is one-half of the oscillator frequency. The MAX5068C/D/E/F driver switching
frequency is one-quarter of the oscillator frequency.
