Maxim's Rainier family of isolated power devices enable cooler, smaller, and simpler power-supply solutions. The MAX17692A/B is a high efficiency no-opto integratednMOSFET flyback converter that uses fixed frequency peak current mode control. The device senses the isolated output voltage directly from the primary-side flyback waveform during the secondary-side rectifier conduction. No secondary-side error amplifier and optocoupler are requiredto provide an accurate, isolated, regulated output voltage, saving up to 20% of PCB space normally required for a traditional flyback converter.The MAX17692A/B features a low RDSON, 76V, 205mΩ integrated nMOSFET primary switch and is designed to operate over a wide supply range from 4.2V to 60V. Theswitching frequency of the device is programmable from 100kHz to 350kHz. An EN/UVLO feature allows the user to turn ON/OFF the power converter precisely at the desired input voltage. Input overvoltage protection can be implemented using the OVI pin (MAX17692A only). Softstartlimits inrush current at startup. The MAX17692A/B supports external clock synchronization to avoid low-frequency“beats” on the input bus in systems with multiple converters. The device also has programmable frequency dithering for low-EMI, spread-spectrum operation.
