Active-Clamped, Spread-Spectrum,  
Current-Mode PWM Controllers  
General Description  
Features  
SPeak_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  
SRegulation_Without_Optocoupler_(MAX5974A/  
MAX5974B)  
SInternal_1%_Error_Amplifier  
S100kHz_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.

Current_Slope_Compensation  
SProgrammable_Feed-Forward_Maximum_Duty-_  
Cycle_Clamp,_80%_Maximum_Limit  
SFrequency_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.

SInternal_Bootstrap_UVLO_with_Large_Hysteresis  
S100µA_(typ)_Startup_Supply_Current  
SFast_Cycle-by-Cycle_Peak_Current-Limit,_35ns_  
Typical_Propagation_Delay  
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.

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.

layer board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial.  
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional  
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute  
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

The MAX5974A/MAX5974B/MAX5974C/MAX5974D are  
optimized for controlling a 25W to 50W active-clamped,  
self-driven synchronous rectification forward converter  
in continuous-conduction mode. The main switch gate  
driver (NDRV) and the active-clamped switch driver  
(AUXDRV) are sized to optimize efficiency for 25W  
design. The features-rich devices are ideal for PoE IEEE  
802.3af/at-powered devices.

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 MAX5974A/MAX5974C offer a 20V bootstrap UVLO  
wake-up level with a 13V 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 telecom (-36V DC to -72V DC) power supplies.  
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.  
The MAX5974B/MAX5974D have a UVLO rising threshold  
of 10V and can accomodate for low-input voltage (12V  
DC to 24V DC) power sources such as wall adapters.  
Enable Input  
The enable input EN is used to enable or disable the  
device. Connect EN to IN for always enabled applica-  
tions. Connecting EN to ground disables the device and  
reduces current consumption to 100FA.  
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 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  
IN from exceeding its absolute maximum rating of 24V  
when the device is disabled. The zener diode should be  
inactive below the maximum UVLO rising threshold volt-  
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  
across R even at the high end of the universal AC input

The devices have an internal bootstrap UVLO that is very

Startup Operation  
The device starts up when the voltage at IN exceeds

During normal operation, the voltage at IN is nor-  
mally derived from a tertiary winding of the transformer  
(MAX5974C/MAX5974D). However, at startup there is  
no energy being delivered through the transformer;  
hence, a special bootstrap sequence is required. In the  
Figure 1. Programmable UVLO for the Power Source
