The MAX5051 is a clamped, two-switch power-supply 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 mech- anisms 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 voltage-mode topology provides excellent line rejection while avoiding the pitfalls of traditional 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 paralleling the primary side, dedicated pins allow for simultaneous wakeup or shutdown of all paralleled units, thus preventing 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
package and operates over a wide -40°C to +125°C temperature range.
Warning: The MAX5051 is designed to work with high voltages. Exercise caution.
