Active-Clamped, Spread-Spectrum,  
Current-Mode PWM Controllers  
General Description  
Features  
S Peak Current-Mode Control, Active-Clamped  
The MAX5974_ provide control for wide-input-voltage,  
active-clamped, current-mode PWM, forward converters  
in Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) powered device (PD) appli-  
cations. The MAX5974A/MAX5974C are well-suited for  
universal or telecom input range, while the MAX5974B/  
MAX5974D also accommodate low input voltage down  
to 10.5V.  
Forward PWM Controller  
S Regulation Without Optocoupler (MAX5974A/  
MAX5974B)  
S Internal 1% Error Amplifier  
S 100kHz to 600kHz Programmable Q8% Switching  
Frequency, Synchronization Up to 1.2MHz  
The devices include several features to enhance supply  
efficiency. The AUX driver recycles magnetizing cur-  
rent instead of wasting it in a dissipative clamp circuit.  
Programmable dead time between the AUX and main  
driver allows for zero-voltage switching (ZVS). Under light-  
load conditions, the devices reduce the switching fre-  
quency (frequency foldback) to reduce switching losses.  
S Programmable Frequency Dithering for Low-EMI,  
Spread-Spectrum Operation  
S Programmable Dead Time, PWM Soft-Start,  
Current Slope Compensation  
S Programmable Feed-Forward Maximum Duty-  
Cycle Clamp, 80% Maximum Limit  
S Frequency Foldback for High-Efficiency Light-  
The MAX5974A/MAX5974B feature unique circuitry to  
achieve output regulation without using an optocoupler,  
while the MAX5974C/MAX5974D utilize the traditional  
optocoupler feedback method. An internal error amplifier  
with a 1% reference is very useful in nonisolated design,  
eliminating the need for an external shunt regulator.  
Load Operation  
S Internal Bootstrap UVLO with Large Hysteresis  
S 100µA (typ) Startup Supply Current  
S Fast Cycle-by-Cycle Peak Current-Limit, 35ns  
Typical Propagation Delay  
S 115ns Current-Sense Internal Leading-Edge  
The devices feature a unique feed-forward maximum  
duty-cycle clamp that makes the maximum clamp volt-  
age during transient conditions independent of the line  
voltage, allowing the use of a power MOSFET with lower  
breakdown voltage. The programmable frequency dither-  
ing feature provides low-EMI, spread-spectrum operation.  
Blanking  
S Output Short-Circuit Protection with Hiccup Mode  
S Reverse Current Limit to Prevent Transformer  
Saturation Due to Reverse Current  
S Internal 18V Zener Clamp on Supply Input  
S 3mm x 3mm, Lead-Free, 16-Pin TQFN-EP  
The MAX5974_ are available in 16-pin TQFN-EP pack-  
ages and are rated for operation over the -40°C to +85°C  
temperature range.

The MAX5974A/MAX5974B/MAX5974C/MAX5974D are  
optimized for controlling a 25W to 50W active-clamped,

in continuous-conduction mode. The main switch gate  
driver (NDRV) and the active-clamped switch driver  
(AUXDRV) are sized to optimize efficiency for 25W

The reverse current-limit feature of the devices turns

The MAX5974A/MAX5974C offer a 16V bootstrap UVLO  
wake-up level with a 9V wide hysteresis. The low startup  
and operating currents allow the use of a smaller storage  
capacitor at the input without compromising startup and  
hold times. The MAX5974A/MAX5974C are well-suited  
for universal input (rectified 85V AC to 265V AC) or tele-  
com (-36V DC to -72V DC) power supplies.  
V
CS  
exceeds the -100mV threshold. This protects the  
transformer core from saturation due to excess reverse  
current under some extreme transient conditions.  
Current-Mode Control Loop  
The advantages of current-mode control over voltage-  
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.  
Second, 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.  
The MAX5974B/MAX5974D have a UVLO rising threshold  
of 8.4V and can accommodate for low-input voltage (12V  
DC to 24V DC) power sources such as wall adapters.  
Power supplies designed with the MAX5974A/MAX5974C  
use a high-value startup resistor, R , that charges a  
IN  
reservoir capacitor, C (see the Typical Application  
IN  
The devices use a current-mode control loop where the  
scaled output of the error amplifier (COMP) is compared  
to a slope-compensated current-sense signal at CSSC.  
Circuits). During this initial period, while the voltage is  
less than the internal bootstrap UVLO threshold, the  
device typically consumes only 100FA of quiescent cur-  
rent. This low startup current and the large bootstrap  
UVLO hysteresis help to minimize the power dissipation  
Input Clamp  
When the device is enabled, an internal 18V input clamp  
is active. During an overvoltage condition, the clamp  
prevents the voltage at the supply input IN from rising  
above 18.5V (typ).  
across R even at the high end of the universal AC input  
IN  
voltage (265V AC).  
Feed-forward maximum duty-cycle clamping detects chang-  
es in line conditions and adjusts the maximum duty cycle  
accordingly to eliminate the clamp voltage’s (i.e., the main  
power FET’s drain voltage) dependence on the input voltage.  
When the device is disabled, the input clamp circuitry is  
also disabled.  
Enable Input  
The enable input is used to enable or disable the device.  
Driving EN low disables the device. Note that the inter-  
nal 18V input clamp is also disabled when EN is low.  
Therefore, an external 18V zener diode is needed for  
certain operating conditions as described below.  
For EMI-sensitive applications, the programmable fre-  
quency dithering feature allows up to Q10% variation in  
the switching frequency. This spread-spectrum modula-  
tion technique spreads the energy of switching harmon-  
ics over a wider band while reducing their peaks, help-  
ing to meet stringent EMI goals.

UVLO on Power Source  
The enable input has an accurate threshold of 1.26V  
(max). For applications that require a UVLO on the  
power source, connect a resistive divider from the power  
source to EN to GND as shown in Figure 1. A zener  
diode between IN and PGND is required to prevent the  
NDRV and AUXDRV gate-drive voltages from exceeding  
20V, the maximum allowed gate voltage of power FETs.

device is disabled.  
The digital output connected to EN should be capable  
of withstanding more than the maximum supply voltage.  
MCU Control of Enable Input  
When using a microcontroller GPIO to control the enable  
input, an 18V zener diode is required on IN as shown in  
Figure 2.  
The external zener diode should clamp in the following  
range:  
High-Voltage Logic Control of Enable Input

voltage open-drain/collector output (e.g., PGOOD indi-

Dead Time  
The NDRV output drives an external n-channel MOSFET.  
NDRV can source/sink in excess of 650mA/1000mA  
peak current; therefore, select a MOSFET that yields  
acceptable conduction and switching losses. The exter-  
nal MOSFET used must be able to withstand the maxi-  
mum clamp voltage.  
Dead time between the main and AUX output edges allow  
ZVS to occur, minimizing conduction losses and improv-  
ing efficiency. The dead time (t ) is applied to both

Programmable Slope Compensation  
Applications Information  
The device generates a current ramp at CSSC such that  
its peak is 50FA at 80% duty cycle of the oscillator. An  
external resistor connected from CSSC to the CS then  
converts this current ramp into programmable slope-  
compensation amplitude, which is added to the current-  
sense signal for stability of the peak current-mode  
control loop. The ramp rate of the slope compensation  
signal is given by:  
Startup Time Considerations  
The bypass capacitor at IN, C , supplies current  
IN  
immediately after the devices wake up (see the Typical  
Application Circuits). Large values of C  
increase  
IN  
the startup time, but also supply gate charge for more  
cycles during initial startup. If the value of C is too  
IN  
small, V drops below 7V because NDRV does not have  
IN  
enough time to switch and build up sufficient voltage  
across the tertiary output (MAX5974C/MAX5974D) or  
coupled inductor output (MAX5974A/MAX5974B), which  
powers the device. The device goes back into UVLO

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  
main MOSFET presents a dV/dt source; therefore, mini-  
mize the surface area of the MOSFET heatsink as much  
as possible. Keep all PCB traces carrying switching cur-  
rents as short as possible to minimize current loops. Use  
a ground plane for best results.
