Analog Devices MAX17498C

Description

The MAX17498A/MAX17498B/MAX17498C devices are current-mode fixed-frequency flyback/boost converters with a minimum number of external components. They contain all the control circuitry required to design wideinput voltage isolated and nonisolated power supplies. The MAX17498A has its rising/falling undervoltage lockout (UVLO) thresholds optimized for universal offline (85V AC to 265V AC) applications, while the MAX17498B/MAX17498C support UVLO thresholds suitable to lowvoltage DC-DC applications.The switching frequency of the MAX17498A/MAX17498C is 250kHz, while that of the MAX17498B is 500kHz. These frequencies allow the use of tiny magnetic and filter components, resulting in compact, cost-effective power supplies. An EN/UVLO input allows the user to start the power supply precisely at the desired input voltage, while also functioning as an on/off pin. The OVI pin enables implementation of an input overvoltage-protection scheme that ensures that the converter shuts down when the DC inputvoltage exceeds the desired maximum value.The devices incorporate a flexible error amplifier and anaccurate reference voltage (REF) to enable the end user toregulate both positive and negative outputs. Programmablecurrent limit allows proper sizing and protection of the primaryswitching FET. The devices support a maximum duty cyclegreater than 92% and provide programmable slope compensationto allow optimization of control loop performance.The devices provide an open-drain PGOOD pin that serves as a power-good indicator and enters the high-impedance state to indicate that the flyback/boost converter is in regulation. An SS pin allows programmable soft-start time for the flyback/boost converter. Hiccup-mode overcurrent protection and thermal shutdown are provided to minimize dissipation under overcurrent and overtemperature fault conditions. The devices are available in a space-saving, 16-pin (3mm x 3mm) TQFN package with 0.5mm lead spacing.
