EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE
MAX17497A/MAX17497B
AC-DC and DC-DC Peak Current-Mode Converters
with Integrated Step-Down Regulator
General Description
The MAX17497A/MAX17497B include both a current-
mode fixed-frequency flyback converter and a synchro-
nous step-down regulator. They contain all the control
circuitry required to design wide input-voltage noniso-
lated power supplies to supply multiple output rails for
smart meters, industrial control, and other similar applica-
tions. The MAX17497A has its rising/falling undervoltage
lockout (UVLO) thresholds optimized for universal offline
(85V AC to 265V AC) applications, while the MAX17497B
supports undervoltage lockout (UVLO) thresholds suit-
able to low-voltage DC-DC applications. Both devices
also include a 3.3V fixed-output synchronous step-down
regulator that delivers up to 600mA load current.
The switching frequency of the MAX17497A flyback
converter is 250kHz, while the MAX17497B flyback/
boost converter is 500kHz. The internally compensated
synchronous step-down regulator switches at 1MHz on
both versions. 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 the converter shuts
down when the DC input voltage exceeds the desired
maximum value.
Programmable current limit allows proper sizing and
protection of the primary switching FET. The devices
support a maximum duty cycle greater than 92% and
provides programmable slope compensation to allow
optimization of control-loop performance. The devices
provide an open-drain RESETN pin that serves as a
power-good indicator and enters the high-impedance
state to indicate that the flyback/boost converter and
3.3V step-down regulator outputs are in regulation. An
SSF pin allows programmable soft-start time for the fly-
back/boost converter, while an internal digital soft-start is
employed for the 3.3V step-down regulator to limit inrush
current. 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.
