80V, 300mW Boost Converter and Current
Monitor for APD Bias Applications
General Description
The MAX15061 consists of a constant-frequency pulse-
width modulating (PWM) step-up DC-DC converter with
an internal switch and a high-side current monitor with
high-speed adjustable current limiting. This device can
generate output voltages up to 76V and provides current
monitoring up to 4mA (up to 300mW). The MAX15061
can be used for a wide variety of applications such as
avalanche photodiode biasing, PIN biasing, or varactor
biasing, and LCD displays. The MAX15061 operates
from 2.7V to 11V.
The constant-frequency (400kHz), current-mode PWM
architecture provides low-noise output voltage that is
easy to filter. A high-voltage, internal power switch
allows this device to boost output voltages up to 76V.
Internal soft-start circuitry limits the input current when
the boost converter starts. The MAX15061 features a
shutdown mode to save power.
The MAX15061 includes a current monitor with more
than three decades of dynamic range and monitors cur-
rent ranging from 500nA to 2mA with high accuracy.
Resistor-adjustable current limiting protects the APD
from optical power transients. A clamp diode protects
the monitor’s output from overvoltage conditions. Other
protection features include cycle-by-cycle current limit-
ing of the boost converter switch, undervoltage lockout,
and thermal shutdown if the die temperature reaches
+160°C.
The MAX15061 is available in a thermally enhanced
4mm x 4mm, 16-pin TQFN package and operates over
the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range.

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.
