MAX17595

EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE MAX17595/MAX17596/MAX17597 Peak-Current-Mode Controllers for Flyback and Boost Regulators General Description The MAX17595–MAX17597 is a family of peak-currentmode controllers for design of wide input-voltage flyback and boost regulators. The MAX17595 offers optimized input thresholds for universal input AC-DC converters and telecom DC-DC (36V to 72V input range) power supplies. The MAX17596/MAX17597 offer input thresholds suitable for low-voltage DC-DC applications (4.5V to 36V). The MAX17597 implements a boost converter. All three controllers contain a built-in gate driver for external n-channel MOSFETs. The MAX17595–MAX17597 house an internal error amplifier with 1% accurate reference, eliminating the need for an external reference. The switching frequency is programmable from 100kHz to 1MHz with an accuracy of 8%, allowing optimization of magnetic and filter components, resulting in compact and cost-effective power conversion. For EMI-sensitive applications, the MAX17595–MAX17597 family incorporates a programmable frequency dithering scheme, enabling low-EMI spread-spectrum operation. Users can start the power supply precisely at the desired input voltage, implement input overvoltage protection, and program soft-start time. A programmable slope compensation scheme is provided to ensuree stability of the peakcurrent-mode control scheme. Hiccup-mode overcurrent protection and thermal shutdown are provided to minimize dissipation in overcurrent an...
