MAX8515A/MAX8515
The MAX8515A/MAX8515 shunt regulators simplify the
design of voltage regulation and overvoltage protection
(OVP) functions in high-accuracy isolated DC-to-DC con-
verters with output voltages as low as 0.6V. The devices
have supply voltage and feedback inputs separated from
the output shunt stage, and can operate directly from the
DC-to-DC converter output stage when the output voltage
is 1.8V to 18V. Alternately, the MAX8515A/MAX8515 input
stage can be biased from an unregulated 1.7V to 28V
supply, independent of DC-to-DC converter output volt-
age. The MAX8515A/MAX8515 shunts 20mA when the
output voltage is as low as 0.2V.
The MAX8515A features an initial output accuracy of
0.5% at +25°C and 1% from -40°C to +85°C and provides
the output voltage regulation function for isolated DC-to-
DC converters. The MAX8515 features initial output
accuracy of 1% at +25°C and 1.8% from -40°C to +85°C
and can provide an output OVP function for isolated DC-
to-DC converters. High open-loop bandwidth allows
design of high-bandwidth DC-to-DC converters.
Low-cost, low-dropout linear regulators can be designed
with the MAX8515A/MAX8515 and an external NPN tran-
sistor for cost-conscious applications that do not require
overcurrent, short-circuit, or overtemperature protection.
The MAX8515/MAX8515A are available in space-saving
5-pin SC70 and SOT23 packages and are specified over
the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range. An eval-
uation kit is available to speed designs.

FUNCTION
Power Ground. Connect PGND and GND together.
Analog Ground. Connect GND and PGND together.
Output. Connect a ceramic capacitor from OUT to GND. See the
Applications Information
section.
Supply Input. Connect a 0.1µF capacitor to GND.
Feedback Input. Regulates to 600mV.
Detailed Description
The MAX8515A/MAX8515 adjustable shunt regulators
feature isolated supply inputs and outputs, ideal for isolat-
ed power-supply applications using an optocoupler in the
feedback path. The MAX8515A/MAX8515 sink 20mA with
V
OUT
at 0.2V. The wide input supply range allows the
device to operate from 1.7V to 28V. The MAX8515A/
MAX8515 compare the FB input to a precision 600mV
reference. If the FB input is low, OUT sinks no current. If
FB rises above 600mV, OUT sinks up to 20mA.
when the output voltage is 0.6V. A resistor-divider con-
nected from OUT to GND produces higher output volt-
ages and allows for a smaller output capacitor. The
value of the output capacitor is inversely proportional to
the output voltage:

Set the current limit with a resistor connected from IN to
OUT. This type of shunt regulator is limited to low-current
applications. The MAX8515A/MAX8515 can typically sink
up to 20mA in this application.

Figure 3 displays an application circuit using the
MAX8515A/MAX8515 in an opto-isolated feedback cir-
cuit. The maximum bias current for the photodiode is
set with R1. The isolated DC-to-DC converter compen-
sation circuit is formed with R2, C3, and C4. Resistors
R3 and R4 set the isolated DC-to-DC converter output
voltage. C1 decouples the input supply and C2 is
needed to stabilize the MAX8515A/MAX8515. Calculate
