MAX15004A/B/C/D-  
MAX15005A/B/C/D  
4.5V to 40V Input Automotive  
Flyback/Boost/SEPIC  
Power-Supply Controllers  
General Description  
Benefits and Features  
Wide Supply Voltage Range Meets Automotive  
Power-Supply Operating Requirement Including  
“Cold Crank” Conditions  
The MAX15004/MAX15005 high-performance, current-  
mode PWM controllers operate at an automotive input  
voltage range from 4.5V to 40V (load dump). The input  
voltage can go lower than 4.5V after startup if IN is boot-  
strapped to a boosted output voltage. The controllers  
integrate all the building blocks necessary for implement-  
ing fixed-frequency isolated/nonisolated power supplies.  
The general-purpose boost, flyback, forward, and SEPIC  
converters can be designed with ease around the  
MAX15004/MAX15005.  
• 4.5V to 40V Operating Input Voltage Range  
(Can Operate at Lower Voltage After Startup if  
Input is Bootstrapped to a Boosted Output)  
Control Architecture Offers Excellent Performance  
While Simplifying the Design  
• Current-Mode Control  
• 300mV, 5% Accurate Current-Limit Threshold  
Voltage  
• Programmable Slope Compensation  
• 50% (MAX15004) or Adjustable (MAX15005)  
Maximum Duty Cycle  
The current-mode control architecture offers excellent line-  
transient response and cycle-by-cycle current limit while  
simplifying the frequency compensation. Programmable  
slope compensation simplifies the design further. A fast  
60ns current-limit response time, low 300mV current-limit  
threshold makes the controllers suitable for high-efficiency,  
high-frequency DC-DC converters. The devices include  
an internal error amplifier and 1% accurate reference to  
facilitate the primary-side regulated, single-ended flyback  
converter or nonisolated converters.  
Accurate, Adjustable Switching Frequency and  
Synchronization Avoids Interference with Sensitive  
Radio Bands  
• Switching Frequency Adjustable from 15kHz to  
500kHz (1MHz for the MAX15005A/B/C/D)  
• RC Programmable 4% Accurate Switching  
Frequency  
An external resistor and capacitor network programs the  
switching frequency from 15kHz to 500kHz (1MHz for  
the MAX15005). The MAX15004A/MAX15005 provide a  
SYNC input for synchronization to an external clock. The  
maximum FET-driver duty cycle for the MAX15004A/B/C/D  
is 50%. The maximum duty cycle can be set on the  
MAX15005A/B/C/D by selecting the right combination of  
RT and CT.  
• External Frequency Synchronization  
Built-In Protection Capability for Improved System  
Reliability  
• Cycle-by-Cycle and Hiccup Current-Limit  
Protection  
• Overvoltage and Thermal-Shutdown Protection  
• -40°C to +125°C Automotive Temperature Range  
AEC-Q100 Qualified  
The input undervoltage lockout (ON/OFF) programs the  
input-supply startup voltage and can be used to shutdown  
the converter to reduce the total shutdown current down  
to 10µA. Protection features include cycle-by-cycle and  
hiccup current limit, output overvoltage protection, and  
thermal shutdown.

age protection. During continuous high input operation, the  
power dissipation into the MAX15004/MAX15005 could  
exceed its limit. Internal thermal shutdown protection safely  
turns off the converter when the junction heats up to 160°C.  
Detailed Description  
The MAX15004/MAX15005 are high-performance,  
current-mode PWM controllers for wide input-voltage  
range isolated/nonisolated power supplies. These con-  
trollers are for use as general-purpose boost, flyback,  
and SEPIC controllers. The input voltage range of 4.5V  
to 40V makes it ideal in automotive applications such as  
vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) power supplies. The  
Current-Mode Control Loop  
The advantages of current-mode control overvoltage-  
mode control are twofold. First, there is the feed-forward  
characteristic brought on by the controller’s ability to adjust  
for variations in the input voltage on a cycle-by-cycle  
basis. Secondly, the stability requirements of the current-  
mode controller are reduced to that of a single-pole  
system unlike the double pole in voltage-mode control.  
internal low-dropout regulator (V  
regulator) enables the  
CC  
MAX15004/MAX15005 to operate directly from an auto-  
motive battery input. The input voltage can go lower than  
4.5V after startup if IN is bootstrapped to a boosted output  
voltage.  
The MAX15004/MAX15005 offer peak current-mode  
control operation to make the power supply easy to design  
with. The inherent feed-forward characteristic is useful  
especially in an automotive application where the input  
voltage changes fast during cold-crank and load dump con-  
ditions. While the current-mode architecture offers many  
advantages, there are some shortcomings. For higher duty-  
cycle and continuous conduction mode operation where  
the transformer does not discharge during the off duty  
cycle, subharmonic oscillations appear. The MAX15004/  
MAX15005 offer programmable slope compensation using  
a single capacitor. Another issue is noise due to turn-on  
of the primary switch that may cause the premature end  
of the on cycle. The current-limit and PWM comparator  
inputs have leading-edge blanking. All the shortcomings of  
the current-mode control are addressed in the MAX15004/  
MAX15005, making it ideal to design for automotive power  
conversion applications.  
The undervoltage lockout (ON/OFF) allows the devices  
to program the input-supply startup voltage and ensures  
predictable operation during brownout conditions.  
The devices contain two internal regulators, V  
and  
CC  
REG5. The V  
regulator output voltage is set at 7.4V  
CC  
and REG5 regulator output voltage at 5V ±2%. The input  
undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit monitors the V  
CC  
voltage and turns off the converter when the V  
drops below 3.5V (typ).  
voltage  
CC  
An external resistor and capacitor network programs  
the switching frequency from 15kHz to 500kHz. The  
MAX15004/MAX15005 provide a SYNC input for syn-  
chronization to an external clock. The OUT (FET-driver  
output) duty cycle for the MAX15004A/B/C/D is 50%. The  
maximum duty cycle can be set on MAX15005A/B/C/D by  
selecting the right combination of RT and CT. The RTCT  
discharge current is trimmed to 2%, allowing accurate  
setting of the duty cycle for the MAX15005. An internal  
slope-compensation circuit stabilizes the current loop when  
operating at higher duty cycles and can be programmed  
externally.

input to a 7.4V output voltage (V ). The V output is

The MAX15004/MAX15005 include an internal error  
amplifier with 1% accurate reference to regulate the output  
in nonisolated topologies using a resistive divider. The

manner to obtain soft-start. A capacitor connected at SS

The MAX15004/MAX15005 include protection features like  
hiccup current limit, output overvoltage, and thermal shut-  
down. The hiccup current-limit circuit reduces the power  
delivered to the electronics powered by the MAX15004/  
MAX15005 converter during severe fault conditions. The  
overvoltage circuit senses the output using the path differ-  
ent from the feedback path to provide meaningful overvolt-

An external undervoltage lockout can be achieved by

Before any operation can commence, the ON/OFF volt-

Slope Compensation  
When the voltage produced by this current (through the  
current-sense resistor) exceeds the current-limit com-  
parator threshold, the MOSFET driver (OUT) quickly  
terminates the on-cycle. In most cases, a short-time  
constant RC filter is required to filter out the leading-edge  
spike on the sense waveform. The amplitude and width  
of the leading edge depends on the gate capacitance,  
drain capacitance (including interwinding capacitance),  
and switching speed (MOSFET turn-on time). Set the RC  
time constant just long enough to suppress the leading  
edge. For a given design, measure the leading spike at  
the highest input and rated output load to determine the  
value of the RC filter.  
The MAX15004A/B/C/D/MAX15005A/B/C/D use an inter-  
nal ramp generator for slope compensation. The internal  
ramp signal resets at the beginning of each cycle and  
slews at the rate programmed by the external capacitor  
connected to SLOPE. The amount of slope compensation  
needed depends on the downslope of the current wave-  
form. Adjust the MAX15004A/B/C/D/MAX15005A/B/C/D  
slew rate up to 110mV/μs using the following equation:

drive the gate at the selected operating frequency when  
the internal LDO is driving the MOSFET.  
Slope Compensation in Boost Configuration  
The MAX15004A/B/MAX15005A/B use an internal  
ramp generator for slope compensation to stabilize the  
current loop when operating at duty cycles above 50%. It is  
advisable to add some slope compensation even at lower  
than 50% duty cycle to improve the noise immunity. The  
slope compensations should be optimized because too  
much slope compensation can turn the converter into the  
voltage-mode control. The amount of slope compensa-  
tion required depends on the downslope of the inductor  
current when the main switch is off. The inductor downslope  
depends on the input to output voltage differential of the  
boost converter, inductor value, and the switching frequen-  
cy. Theoretically, the compensation slope should be equal  
to 50% of the inductor downslope; however, a little higher  
than 50% slope is advised.

The flyback converter can be designed to operate either  
in continuous or discontinuous mode of operation. In  
discontinuous mode of operation, the transformer core  
completes its energy transfer during the off-cycle, while  
in continuous mode of operation, the next cycle begins  
before the energy transfer is complete. The discontinuous  
mode of operation is chosen for the present example for  
the following reasons:  
to discharge the core. Use the following equations to  
calculate the secondary inductance:

● Higher unity-gain bandwidth.  
Step 2) The rising current in the primary builds the energy  
stored in the core during on-time, which is then released  
to deliver the output power during the off-time. Primary  
inductance is then calculated to store enough energy  
during the on-time to support the maximum output power.  
A major disadvantage of discontinuous mode opera-  
tion is the higher peak-to-average current ratio in the  
primary and secondary circuits. Higher peak-to-average  
current means higher RMS current, and therefore, higher  
loss and lower efficiency. For low-power converters, the  
advantages of using discontinuous mode easily surpass  
the possible disadvantages. Moreover, the drive capabil-  
ity of the MAX15004/MAX15005 is good enough to drive  
a large switching MOSFET. With the presently available  
MOSFETs, power output of up to 50W is easily achievable  
with a discontinuous mode flyback topology using the  
MAX15004/MAX15005 in automotive applications.

the load. The output capacitor supports the load current  
during the switch on-time. During the off-cycle, the trans-  
former secondary discharges the core replenishing the lost  
charge and simultaneously supplies the load current. The  
output ripple is the sum of the voltage drop due to charge  
loss during the switch on-time and the ESR of the output  
capacitor. The high switching frequency of the MAX15004/  
MAX15005 reduces the capacitance requirement.  
MOSFET Selection  
MOSFET selection criteria include the maximum drain  
voltage, peak/RMS current in the primary and the maxi-  
mum-allowable power dissipation of the package without  
exceeding the junction temperature limits. The voltage  
seen by the MOSFET drain is the sum of the input  
voltage, the reflected secondary voltage through trans-  
former turns ratio and the leakage inductance spike. The  
MOSFET’s absolute maximum V

load) drain voltage.  
rating must be higher  
DS  
An additional small LC filter may be necessary to  
suppress the remaining low-energy high-frequency spikes.  
The LC filter also helps attenuate the switching frequency  
ripple. Care must be taken to avoid any compensation  
problems due to the insertion of the additional LC filter.  
Design the LC filter with a corner frequency at more than  
a decade higher than the estimated closed-loop, unity-  
gain bandwidth to minimize its effect on the phase margin.

The DC losses in the MOSFET can be calculated using the  
value for the primary RMS maximum current. Switching

The MAX15004A/B/C/D/MAX15005A/B/C/D can be con-

must be lower and higher than the input voltage when  
the input voltage varies through the operating range. The  
duty-cycle equation:  
Use the following equations to calculate the inductance  
values. Assume both L1 and L2 are equal and that the  
inductor ripple current (ΔI ) is equal to 20% of the input

tage of the SEPIC topology over the boost converter is a

The SEPIC converter design includes sizing of inductors,

The inductance is determined by the allowable ripple  
current through all the components mentioned above.  
Lower ripple current means lower peak and RMS currents  
and lower losses. The higher inductance value needed  
for a lower ripple current means a larger-sized inductor,  
which is a more expensive solution. The inductors (L1 and  
L2) can be independent, however, winding them on the  
same core reduces the ripple currents.

3) Isolate the power components and high-current path  
from the sensitive analog circuitry.  
Layout Recommendations  
Typically, there are two sources of noise emission in a  
switching power supply: high di/dt loops and high dv/dt  
surfaces. For example, traces that carry the drain current  
often form high di/dt loops. Similarly, the heatsink of the  
MOSFET connected to the device drain presents a dv/dt  
source; therefore, minimize the surface area of the heat-  
sink as much as possible. Keep all PCB traces carrying  
switching currents as short as possible to minimize cur-  
rent loops. Use a ground plane for best results.  
4) Keep the high-current paths short, especially at the  
ground terminals. This practice is essential for stable,  
jitter-free operation.  
5) Connect SGND and PGND together close to the  
device at the return terminal of V  
bypass capacitor.  
CC  
Do not connect them together anywhere else.  
6) Keep the power traces and load connections short.  
This practice is essential for high efficiency. Use  
thick copper PCBs (2oz vs. 1oz) to enhance full-load  
efficiency.  
Careful PCB layout is critical to achieve low switch-  
ing losses and clean, stable operation. Refer to the  
MAX15005 EV kit data sheet for a specific layout exam-  
ple. Use a multilayer board whenever possible for better  
noise immunity. Follow these guidelines for good PCB  
layout:  
7) Ensure that the feedback connection to FB is short and  
direct.  
8) Route high-speed switching nodes away from the  
sensitive analog areas. Use an internal PCB layer for  
SGND as an EMI shield to keep radiated noise away  
from the device, feedback dividers, and analog bypass  
capacitors.  
1) Use a large copper plane under the package and  
solder it to the exposed pad. To effectively use this  
copper area as a heat exchanger between the PCB  
and ambient, expose this copper area on the top and  
bottom side of the PCB.  
9) Connect SYNC pin to SGND when not used.  
2) Do not connect the connection from SGND (pin  
7) to the EP copper plane underneath the IC. Use  
midlayer-1 as an SGND plane when using a multilayer  
board.
