Description
The MAX256 is an integrated primary-side controller
and H-bridge driver for isolated power-supply circuits.
The device contains an on-board oscillator, protection
circuitry and internal FET drivers to provide up to 3W of
power to the primary winding of a transformer. The
MAX256 can be operated using the internal programmable
oscillator or can be driven by an external clock
for improved EMI performance. Regardless of the clock
source being used, an internal flip-flop stage guarantees
a fixed 50% duty cycle to prevent DC current flow
in the transformer.
The MAX256 operates from a single-supply voltage of
+5V or +3.3V, and includes undervoltage lockout for
controlled startup. The device prevents cross-conduction
of the H-bridge MOSFETs by implementing break-before-make switching. Thermal shutdown circuitry
provides additional protection against damage due to
overtemperature conditions.
The MAX256 is available in the 8-pin thermally-enhanced
SO package. The device is specified for the automotive
(-40°C to +125°C) temperature range.
