19-0723; Rev 3; 1/11 4.5V to 40V Input Automotive Flyback/Boost/SEPIC Power-Supply Controllers General Description The MAX15004A/B/MAX15005A/B 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 down as low as 2.5V after startup if VCC is supplied by an external bias voltage. The controllers integrate all the building blocks necessary for implementing fixed-frequency isolated/nonisolated power supplies. The general-purpose boost, flyback, forward, and SEPIC converters can be designed with ease around the MAX15004/MAX15005. 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. An external resistor and capacitor network programs the switching frequency from 15kHz to 500kHz (1MHz for the MAX15005A/B). The MAX15004A/B/MAX15005A/B provide a SYNC input for synchronization to an external clock. The maximum FET-driver duty cycle for the MAX15004A/B is 50%. The maximum duty cycle can be set on the MAX15005A/B by selecting the right combination of RT and CT. 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. The MAX15004A/B/MAX15005A/B are available in space-saving 16-pin TSSOP and thermally enhanced 16-pin TSSOP-EP packages. All devices operate over the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range.

These controllers 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 internal low-dropout regulator (VCC regulator) enables the MAX15004A/B/MAX15005A/B to operate directly from an automotive battery input. The input operating range can be as low as 2.5V when an external source (e.g. bootstrap winding output) is applied at the VCC input. The 2.5V to 40V input voltage range allows device operation from cold crank to automotive load dump. 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, VCC and REG5. The VCC regulator output voltage is set at 7.4V and REG5 regulator output voltage at 5V ±2%. The VCC output includes a 10.4V clamp that is capable of sinking up to 30mA current. The input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit monitors the VCC voltage and turns off the converter when the VCC voltage drops below 3.5V (typ). See the Internal Regulators VCC and REG5 section for a method to obtain lower than 4.5V input operation with the MAX15004/MAX15005. An external resistor and capacitor network programs the switching frequency from 15kHz to 500kHz. The MAX15004A/B/MAX15005A/B provide a SYNC input for synchronization to an external clock. The OUT (FET-driver output) duty cycle for the MAX15004A/B is 50%. The maximum duty cycle can be set on MAX15005A/B 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. The MAX15004/MAX15005 include an internal error amplifier with 1% accurate reference to regulate the output in nonisolated topologies using a resistive divider. The internal reference connected to the noninverting input of the error amplifier can be increased in a controlled manner to obtain soft-start. A capacitor connected at SS to ground programs soft-start to reduce inrush current and prevent output overshoot. The MAX15004/MAX15005 include protection features like hiccup current limit, output overvoltage, and thermal shutdown. 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 different from the feedback path to provide meaningful overvoltage 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. MAX15004/MAX15005 Current-Mode Control Loop The advantages of current-mode control overvoltagemode 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 cycleby-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. 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 conditions. 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 leadingedge 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. Internal Regulators VCC and REG5 The internal LDO converts the automotive battery voltage input to a 7.4V output voltage (VCC). The VCC output is set at 7.4V and operates in a dropout mode at input voltages below 7.5V. The internal LDO is capable of delivering 20mA current, enough to provide power to internal control circuitry and the gate drive. The regulated VCC keeps the driver output voltage well below the absolute maximum gate voltage rating of the MOSFET especially during the double battery and load dump conditions. An auxiliary winding output can be fed to the VCC output once the power supply is turned on. The bootstrap winding is not necessary for proper 11 ______________________________________________________________________________________ 4.5V to 40V Input Automotive Flyback/Boost/SEPIC Power-Supply Controllers MAX15004/MAX15005 operation of the power supply; however, to reduce the power dissipation of the internal LDO, it can be disabled by applying an external voltage higher than 7.4V at VCC (LDO output). The LDO then stops drawing current from IN, thereby reducing the power dissipation in the IC. The VCC voltage is clamped to 10.4V with 30mA current sink in case there is a higher voltage at the bias winding. This feature is useful in applications with continuous higher input voltage. The second 5V LDO regulator from VCC to REG5 provides power to the internal control circuits. This LDO can also be used to source 15mA of external load current. Bypass VCC and REG5 with a parallel combination of 1μF and 0.1μF low-ESR ceramic capacitors. Additional capacitors (up to 22μF) at VCC can be used although they are not necessary for proper operation of the MAX15004/MAX15005. VIN MAX15004A/B MAX15005A/B ON/OFF 1.23V R1 R2 Figure 1. Setting the MAX15004A/B/MAX15005A/B Undervoltage Lockout Threshold Startup Operation/UVLO/ON/OFF The MAX15004A/B/MAX15005A/B feature two undervoltage lockouts (UVLO). The internal UVLO monitors the VCC-regulator and turns on the converter once VCC rises above 3.5V. The internal UVLO circuit has about 0.5V hysteresis to avoid chattering during turn-on. Once the power is on and the bootstrapped voltage feeds VCC, IN voltage can drop below 4V. This feature provides operation at a cold-crank voltage as low as 2.5V. An external undervoltage lockout can be achieved by controlling the voltage at the ON/ OFF input. The ON/OFF input threshold is set at 1.23V (rising) with 75mV hysteresis. Before any operation can commence, the ON/OFF voltage must exceed the 1.23V threshold. Calculate R1 in Figure 1 by using the following formula: ⎛V ⎞ R1 = ⎜ ON − 1⎟ × R2 ⎝ VUVLO ⎠ where VUVLO is the ON/OFF’s 1.23V rising threshold, and VON is the desired input startup voltage. Choose an R2 value in the 100kΩ range. The UVLO circuits keep the PWM comparator, ILIM comparator, oscillator, and output driver shut down to reduce current consumption (see the Functional Diagram). The ON/OFF input can be used to disable the MAX15004/MAX15005 and reduce the standby current to less than 20μA. and also controls the soft-start period. At startup, after VIN is applied and the UVLO thresholds are reached, the device enters soft-start. During soft-start, 15μA is sourced into the capacitor (CSS) connected from SS to GND causing the reference voltage to ramp up slowly. The HICCUP mode of operation is disabled during softstart. When VSS reaches 1.228V, the output as well as the HICCUP mode become fully active. Set the soft-start time (tSS) using following equation: t SS = 1. 23(V) × C SS 15 × 10 − 6 ( A ) where tSS is in seconds and CSS is in farads. The soft-start programmability is important to control the input inrush current issue and also to avoid the MAX15004/MAX15005 power supply from going into the unintentional hiccup during the startup. The required soft-start time depends on the topology used, currentlimit setting, output capacitance, and the load condition. Oscillator Frequency/ External Synchronization Use an external resistor and capacitor at RTCT to program the MAX15004A/B/MAX15005A/B internal oscillator frequency from 15kHz to 1MHz. The MAX15004A/B output switching frequency is one-half the programmed oscillator frequency with a 50% maximum duty-cycle limit. The MAX15005A/B output switching frequency is the same as the oscillator frequency. The RC network connected to RTCT controls both the oscillator frequency and the maximum duty cycle. The CT capacitor charges and discharges from (0.1 x VREG5) to (0.55 x VREG5). It charges through RT and discharges through an internal trimmed controlled current sink. The maximum duty cycle is inversely proportional to the discharge time Soft-Start The MAX15004/MAX15005 are provided with an externally adjustable soft-start function, saving a number of external components. The SS is a 1.228V reference bypass connection for the MAX15004A/B/MAX15005A/B 12 ______________________________________________________________________________________ 4.5V to 40V Input Automotive Flyback/Boost/SEPIC Power-Supply Controllers (tDISCHARGE). See Figures 3a and 3b for a coarse selection of capacitor values for a given switching frequency and maximum duty cycle and then use the following equations to calculate the resistor value to fine-tune the switching frequency and verify the worst-case maximum duty cycle. t CHARGE = D MAX fOSC The MAX15004A/B is a 50% maximum duty-cycle part, while the MAX15005A/B is 100% maximum duty-cycle part. fOUT = for the MAX15004A/B and fOUT = fOSC for the MAX15005A/B. The MAX15004A/B/MAX15005A/B can be synchronized using an external clock at the SYNC input. For proper frequency synchronization, SYNC’s input frequency must be at least 102% of the programmed internal oscillator frequency. Connect SYNC to SGND when not using an external clock. A rising clock edge on SYNC is interpreted as a synchronization input. If the SYNC signal is lost, the internal oscillator takes control of the switching rate, returning the switching frequency to that set by RC network connected to RTCT. This maintains output regulation even with intermittent SYNC signals.

MAX15005 Maximum Duty Cycle vs. Output Frequency. Figure 3b. Oscillator Frequency vs. RT/CT n-Channel MOSFET Driver OUT drives the gate of an external n-channel MOSFET. The driver is powered by the internal regulator (VCC), internally set to approximately 7.4V. If an external voltage higher than 7.4V is applied at VCC (up to 10V), it appears as the peak gate drive voltage. The regulated VCC voltage keeps the OUT voltage below the maximum gate voltage rating of the external MOSFET. OUT can source 750mA and sink 1000mA peak current. The average current sourced by OUT depends on the switching frequency and total gate charge of the external MOSFET. Slope Compensation The MAX15004A/B/MAX15005A/B use an internal 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 waveform. Adjust the MAX15004A/B/MAX15005A/B slew rate up to 110mV/μs using the following equation: Slope compensation (mV μ s) = 2. 5 × 10 − 9 (A) C SLOPE Error Amplifier The MAX15004A/B/MAX15005A/B include an internal error amplifier. The noninverting input of the error amplifier is connected to the internal 1.228V reference and feedback is provided at the inverting input. High 100dB open-loop gain and 1.6MHz unity-gain bandwidth allow good closed-loop bandwidth and transient response. Moreover, the source and sink current capability of 2mA provides fast error correction during the output load transient. For Figure 5, calculate the powersupply output voltage using the following equation: ⎛ R⎞ VOUT = ⎜ 1 + A ⎟ VREF RB ⎠ ⎝ where VREF = 1.228V. The amplifier’s noninverting input is internally connected to a soft-start circuit that gradually increases the reference voltage during startup. This forces the output voltage to come up in an orderly and well-defined manner under all load conditions. where CSLOPE is the external capacitor at SLOPE in farads. Current Limit The current-sense resistor (RCS), connected between the source of the MOSFET and ground, sets the current limit. The CS input has a voltage trip level (V CS) of 305mV. The current-sense threshold has 5% accuracy. Set the current-limit threshold 20% higher than the peak switch current at the rated output power and minimum input voltage. Use the following equation to calculate the value of RS: RS = VCS IPRI where IPRI is the peak current that flows through the MOSFET at full load and minimum VIN. 14 ______________________________________________________________________________________ 4.5V to 40V Input Automotive Flyback/Boost/SEPIC Power-Supply Controllers When the voltage produced by this current (through the current-sense resistor) exceeds the current-limit comparator 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 leadingedge 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 low 305mV current-limit threshold reduces the power dissipation in the current-sense resistor. The current-limit threshold can be further reduced by adding an offset to the CS input from REG5 voltage. Do not reduce the current-limit threshold below 150mV as it may cause noise issues. See Figure 4. For a new value of the current-limit threshold (VCS-LOW), calculate the value of R1 using the following equation. 4. 75 × R CS R1 = 0. 290 − VCS − Low where: VIN Applications Information Boost Converter The MAX15004A/B/MAX15005A/B can be configured for step-up conversion. The boost converter output can be fed back to VCC (see Figure 5) so that the controller can function even during cold-crank input voltage (≤ 2.5V). Use a Schottky diode (DVIN) in the VIN path to avoid backfeeding the input source. A current-limiting resistor (RVCC) is also needed from the boost converter output to VCC depending upon the boost converter output voltage. The total current sink into VCC must be limited to 30mA. Use the equations in the following sections to calculate R VCC , inductor (L MIN ), input capacitor (C IN), and output capacitor (C OUT) when using the converter in boost operation. MAX15004/MAX15005 Inductor Selection in Boost Configuration Using the following equation, calculate the minimum inductor value so that the converter remains in continuous mode operation at minimum output current (IOMIN). L MIN = VIN 2 × D × η 2 × fOUT × VOUT × IOMIN D= and VOUT + VD − VIN VOUT + VD − VDS REG5 IOMIN = (0.1 × IO ) to (0.25 × IO ) R1 RCS N MAX15004A/B MAX15005A/B 0.3V CURRENT-LIMIT COMPARATOR CCS RS The higher value of IOMIN reduces the required inductance; however, it increases the peak and RMS currents in the switching MOSFET and inductor. Use IOMIN from 10% to 25% of the full load current. The VD is the forward voltage drop of the external Schottky diode, D is the duty cycle, and VDS is the voltage drop across the external switch. Select the inductor with low DC resistance and with a saturation current (ISAT) rating higher than the peak switch current limit of the converter. Figure 4.

Application Schematic Input Capacitor Selection in Boost Configuration The input current for the boost converter is continuous and the RMS ripple current at the input capacitor is low. Calculate the minimum input capacitor value and maximum ESR using the following equations: C IN = ESR = where: Δ IL = (VIN − VDS ) × D L × fOUT Δ IL × D 4 × fOUT × Δ VQ Δ VESR Δ IL capacitor discharge and ΔVESR is the contribution due to ESR of the capacitor. Assume the input capacitor ripple contribution due to ESR (ΔVESR) and capacitor discharge (ΔVQ) is equal when using a combination of ceramic and aluminum capacitors. During the converter turn-on, a large current is drawn from the input source especially at high output to input differential. The MAX15004/MAX15005 are provided with a programmable soft-start, however, a large storage capacitor at the input may be necessary to avoid chattering due to finite hysteresis. VDS is the total voltage drop across the external MOSFET plus the voltage drop across the inductor ESR. ΔIL is peak-to-peak inductor ripple current as calculated above. ΔVQ is the portion of input ripple due to the 16 Output Capacitor Selection in Boost Configuration For the boost converter, the output capacitor supplies the load current when the main switch is on. The required output capacitance is high, especially at higher duty cycles. Also, the output capacitor ESR needs to be low enough to minimize the voltage drop due to the ESR while supporting the load current. Use the following equations to calculate the output capacitor, for a specified output ripple. All ripple values are peak-to-peak. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 4.5V to 40V Input Automotive Flyback/Boost/SEPIC Power-Supply Controllers Δ VESR ESR = IO I × D MAX C OUT = O Δ VQ × fOUT IO is the load current, ΔVQ is the portion of the ripple due to the capacitor discharge, and ΔVESR is the contribution due to the ESR of the capacitor. DMAX is the maximum duty cycle at the minimum input voltage. Use a combination of low-ESR ceramic and high-value, low-cost aluminum capacitors for lower output ripple and noise. 2) Reverse-transfer capacitance or charge (CRSS). 3) On-resistance (RDS(ON)). 4) Maximum drain-to-source voltage (VDS(MAX)). 5) Maximum gate frequencies threshold voltage (VTH(MAX)). At high switching, dynamic characteristics (parameters 1 and 2 of the above list) that predict switching losses have more impact on efficiency than RDS(ON), which predicts DC losses. Qg includes all capacitances associated with charging the gate. The VDS(MAX) of the selected MOSFET must be greater than the maximum output voltage setting plus a diode drop. The 10V additional margin is recommended for spikes at the MOSFET drain due to the inductance in the rectifier diode and output capacitor path. In addition, Qg helps predict the current needed to drive the gate at the selected operating frequency when the internal LDO is driving the MOSFET. MAX15004/MAX15005 Calculating Power Loss in Boost Converter The MAX15004A/MAX15005A devices are available in a thermally enhanced package and can dissipate up to 1.7W at +70°C ambient temperature. The total power dissipation in the package must be limited so that the junction temperature does not exceed its absolute maximum rating of +150°C at maximum ambient temperature; however, Maxim recommends operating the junction at about +125°C for better reliability. The average supply current (IDRIVE-GATE) required by the switch driver is: IDRIVE − GATE = Q g × fOUT where Qg is total gate charge at 7.4V, a number available from MOSFET datasheet. The supply current in the MAX15004A/B/MAX15005A/B is dependent on the switching frequency. See the Typical Operating Characteristics to find the supply current ISUPPLY of the MAX15004A/B/MAX15005A/B at a given operating frequency. The total power dissipation (PT) in the device due to supply current (ISUPPLY) and the current required to drive the switch (IDRIVEGATE) is calculated using following equation. PT = VINMAX × (I SUPPLY + IDRIVE − GATE ) 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 compensation 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 frequency. Theoretically, the compensation slope should be equal to 50% of the inductor downslope; however, a little higher than 50% slope is advised. Use the following equation to calculate the required compensating slope (mc) for the boost converter: mc = (VOUT − VIN ) × R S × 10 − 3 ( mV μs ) 2L MOSFET Selection in Boost Converter The MAX15004A/B/MAX15005A/B drive a wide variety of n-channel power MOSFETs. Since VCC limits the OUT output peak gate-drive voltage to no more than 11V, a 12V (max) gate voltage-rated MOSFET can be used without an additional clamp. Best performance, especially at low-input voltages (5VIN), is achieved with low-threshold n-channel MOSFETs that specify on-resistance with a gate-source voltage (VGS) of 2.5V or less. When selecting the MOSFET, key parameters can include: 1) Total gate charge (Qg). The internal ramp signal resets at the beginning of each cycle and slews at the rate programmed by the external capacitor connected to SLOPE. Adjust the MAX15004A/B/MAX15005A/B slew rate up to 110mV/μs using the following equation: C SLOPE = 2. 5 × 10 − 9 mc(mV μ s) where CSLOPE is the external capacitor at SLOPE in farads. 17 ______________________________________________________________________________________ 4.5V to 40V Input Automotive Flyback/Boost/SEPIC Power-Supply Controllers MAX15004/MAX15005 Selecting VCC Resistor (RVCC) The VCC external supply series resistor should be sized to provide enough average current from VOUT to drive the external MOSFET (IDRIVE) and ISUPPLY. The VCC is clamped internally to 10.4V and capable of sinking 30mA current. The VCC resistor must be high enough to limit the VCC sink current below 30mA at the highest output voltage. Maintain the VCC voltage to 8V while feeding the power from VOUT to VCC. For a regulated output voltage of VOUT, calculate the RVCC using the following equation: R VCC = (VOUT − 8) (I SUPPLY + IDRIVE ) able with a discontinuous mode flyback topology using the MAX15004/MAX15005 in automotive applications. Transformer Design Step-by-step transformer specification design for a discontinuous flyback example is explained below. Follow the steps below for the discontinuous mode transformer: Step 1) Calculate the secondary winding inductance for guaranteed core discharge within a minimum off-time. Step 2) Calculate primary winding inductance for sufficient energy to support the maximum load. Step 3) Calculate the secondary and bias winding turns ratios. Step 4) Calculate the RMS current in the primary and estimate the secondary RMS current. Step 5) Consider proper sequencing of windings and transformer construction for low leakage. Step 1) As discussed earlier, the core must be discharged during the off-cycle for discontinuous mode operation. The secondary inductance determines the time required to discharge the core. Use the following equations to calculate the secondary inductance: LS ≤ See Figure 5 and the Power Dissipation section for the values of ISUPPLY and IDRIVE. Flyback Converter The choice of the conversion topology is the first stage in power-supply design. The topology selection criteria include input voltage range, output voltage, peak currents in the primary and secondary circuits, efficiency, form factor, and cost. For an output power of less than 50W and a 1:2 input voltage range with small form factor requirements, the flyback topology is the best choice. It uses a minimum of components, thereby reducing cost and form factor. 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: • It maximizes the energy storage in the magnetic component, thereby reducing size. • Simplifies the dynamic stability compensation design (no right-half plane zero). • Higher unity-gain bandwidth. A major disadvantage of discontinuous mode operation 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 capability 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 achiev18 2 × IOUT × fOUT(MAX) t OFF D OFF = t ON + t OFF ( VOUT + VD ) × (D OFFMIN ) 2 where: DOFFMIN = minimum DOFF. VD = secondary diode forward voltage drop. IOUT = maximum output rated current. 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. LP = D= VINMIN 2 × D MAX 2 × η 2 × POUT × fOUT(MAX) t ON t ON + t OFF DMAX = Maximum D. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 4.5V to 40V Input Automotive Flyback/Boost/SEPIC Power-Supply Controllers Step 3) Calculate the secondary to primary turns ratio (NSP) and the bias winding to primary turns ratio (NBP) using the following equations: N SP = and N BP = N BIAS 11. 7 = NP VOUT + 0 . 35 NS = NP LS LP spike. The MOSFET’s absolute maximum VDS rating must be higher than the worst-case (maximum input voltage and output load) drain voltage. ⎡N ⎤ VDSMAX = VINMAX + ⎢ P × (VOUT + VD ) ⎥ + VSPIKE NS ⎢ ⎥ ⎣ ⎦ Lower maximum V DS requirement means a shorter channel, lower RDS-ON, lower gate charge, and smaller package. A lower NP/NS ratio allows a low VDSMAX specification and keeps the leakage inductance spike under control. A resistor/diode/capacitor snubber network can be also used to suppress the leakage inductance spike. The DC losses in the MOSFET can be calculated using the value for the primary RMS maximum current. Switching losses in the MOSFET depend on the operating frequency, total gate charge, and the transition loss during turn-off. There are no transition losses during turn-on since the primary current starts from zero in the discontinuous conduction mode. MOSFET derating may be necessary to avoid damage during system turn-on and any other fault conditions. Use the following equation to estimate the power dissipation due to the power MOSFET: PMOS = (1 . 4 × R DSON × I 2 PRMS ) + (Q g × VIN × fOUTMAX ) + × I × t OFF × fOUTMAX V ) ( I NMAX PK 4 × VDS 2 × fOUTMAX C + DS 2 MAX15004/MAX15005 The forward bias drops of the secondary diode and the bias rectifier diode are assumed to be 0.35V and 0.7V, respectively. Refer to the diode manufacturer’s datasheet to verify these numbers. Step 4) The transformer manufacturer needs the RMS current maximum values in the primary, secondary, and bias windings to design the wire diameter for the different windings. Use only wires with a diameter smaller than 28AWG to keep skin effect losses under control. To achieve the required copper cross-section, multiple wires must be used in parallel. Multifilar windings are common in high-frequency converters. Maximum RMS currents in the primary and secondary occur at 50% duty cycle (minimum input voltage) and maximum output power. Use the following equations to calculate the primary and secondary RMS currents: POUT D MAX IPRMS = × 0. 5 × D MAX × η × VINMIN 3 I SRMS = IOUT 0. 5 × D OFFMAX D OFFMAX 3 The bias current for most MAX15004/MAX15005 applications is about 20mA and the selection of wire depends more on convenience than on current capacity. Step 5) The winding technique and the windings sequence is important to reduce the leakage inductance spike at switch turn-off. For example, interleave the secondary between two primary halves. Keep the bias winding close to the secondary, so that the bias voltage tracks the output voltage. where: Qg = Total gate charge of the MOSFET (C) at 7.4V VIN = Input voltage (V) tOFF = Turn-off time (s) CDS = Drain-to-source capacitance (F) MOSFET Selection MOSFET selection criteria include the maximum drain voltage, peak/RMS current in the primary and the maximum-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 transformer turns ratio and the leakage inductance Output Filter Design The output capacitance requirements for the flyback converter depend on the peak-to-peak ripple acceptable at the load. The output capacitor supports the load current during the switch on-time. During the off-cycle, the transformer 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. 19 ______________________________________________________________________________________ 4.5V to 40V Input Automotive Flyback/Boost/SEPIC Power-Supply Controllers MAX15004/MAX15005 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. Use 1μF to 10μF low-ESR ceramic capacitors and calculate the inductance using following equation: L≤ 1 4 × 10 3 × fc 2 × C 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. Calculate the maximum duty cycle using the following equation and choose the RT and CT values accordingly for a given switching frequency (see the O scillator Frequency/External Synchronization section). ⎡ ⎤ VOUT + VD D MAX = ⎢ ⎥ ⎣ VIN−MIN + VOUT + VD − (VDS + VCS ) ⎦ where VD is the forward voltage of the Schottky diode, V CS (0.305V) is the current-sense threshold of the MAX15004/MAX15005, and VDS is the voltage drop across the switching MOSFET during the on-time. where fC = estimated converter closed-loop unity-gain frequency. SEPIC Converter The MAX15004A/B/MAX15005A/B can be configured for SEPIC conversion when the output voltage must be lower and higher than the input voltage when the input voltage varies through the operating range. The dutycycle equation: VO D = VIN 1 − D indicates that the output voltage is lower than the input for a duty cycle lower than 0.5 while VOUT is higher than the input at a duty cycle higher than 0.5. The inherent advantage of the SEPIC topology over the boost converter is a complete isolation of the output from the source during a fault at the output. For the MAX15004/MAX15005, the SEPIC converter output can be fed back to VCC (Figure 6), so that the controller can function even during cold-crank input voltage (≤ 2.5V). Use a Schottky diode (DVIN) in the VIN path to avoid backfeeding the input source. A current-limiting resistor (RVCC) is also needed from the output to VCC depending upon the converter output voltage. The total VCC current sink must be limited to 25mA. See the Selecting VCC Resistor (RVCC) section to calculate the optimum value of the VCC resistor. The SEPIC converter design includes sizing of inductors, a MOSFET, series capacitance, and the rectifier diode. The inductance is determined by the allowable Inductor Selection in SEPIC Converter Use the following equations to calculate the inductance values. Assume both L1 and L2 are equal and that the inductor ripple current (ΔIL) is equal to 20% of the input current at nominal input voltage to calculate the inductance value. ⎡V × D MAX L = L 1 = L2 = ⎢ IN−MIN 2 × fOUT × Δ IL ⎣ ⎡ 0 . 2 × IOUT −MAX × D MAX Δ IL = ⎢ (1 − D MAX ) × η ⎣ ⎤ ⎥ ⎦ ⎤ ⎥ ⎦ where fOUT is the converter switching frequency and η is the targeted system efficiency. Use the coupled inductors MSD-series from Coilcraft or PF0553-series from Pulse Engineering, Inc. Make sure the inductor saturating current rating (ISAT) is 30% higher than the peak inductor current calculated using the following equation. Use the current-sense resistor calculated based on the ILPK value from the equation below (see the Current Limit section). ⎡I ⎤ × D MAX ILPK = ⎢ OUT −MAX + IOUT −MAX + Δ IL ⎥ ⎣ (1 − D MAX ) × η ⎦ 20 ______________________________________________________________________________________ 4.5V to 40V Input Automotive Flyback/Boost/SEPIC Power-Supply Controllers MOSFET, Diode, and Series Capacitor Selection in a SEPIC Converter For the SEPIC configuration, choose an n-channel MOSFET with a VDS rating at least 20% higher than the sum of the output and input voltages. When operating at a high switching frequency, the gate charge and switching losses become significant. Use low gatecharge MOSFETs. The RMS current of the MOSFET is: IMOS −RMS (A) = ⎡ (ILPK ) 2 + (ILDC ) 2 + (ILPK × ILDC ) ⎤ × D MAX ⎣ ⎦ 3 The series capacitor should be chosen for minimum ripple voltage (ΔVCP) across the capacitor. We recommend using a maximum ripple ΔVCP to be 5% of the minimum input voltage (VIN-MIN) when operating at the minimum input voltage. The multilayer ceramic capacitor X5R and X7R series are recommended due to their high ripple current capability and low ESR. Use the following equation to calculate the series capacitor CP value. ⎡I × D MAX ⎤ CP = ⎢ OUT −MAX ⎥ ⎣ Δ VCP × fOUT ⎦ where ΔVCP is 0.05 x VIN-MIN. For a further discussion of SEPIC converters, go to http://pdfserv.maxim-ic.com/en/an/AN1051.pdf. MAX15004/MAX15005 where ILDC = (ILPK - ΔIL). Use Schottky diodes for higher conversion efficiency. The reverse voltage rating of the Schottky diode must be higher than the sum of the maximum input voltage (VIN-MAX) and the output voltage. Since the average current flowing through the diode is equal to the output current, choose the diode with forward current rating of IOUT-MAX. The current sense (RS) can be calculated using the current-limit threshold (0.305V) of MAX15004/MAX15005 and ILPK. Use a diode with a forward current rating more than the maximum output current limit if the SEPIC converter needs to be output short-circuit protected. 0. 305 R CS = ILPK Select R CS 20% below the value calculated above. Calculate the output current limit using the following equation: ⎡D IOUT −LIM = ⎢ × (ILPK ⎣ (1 − D) − Power Dissipation The MAX15004/MAX15005 maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance from the die to the ambient environment and the ambient temperature. The thermal resistance depends on the device package, PCB copper area, other thermal mass, and airflow. Calculate the temperature rise of the die using following equation: TJ = TC + (PT x θJC) or TJ = TA + (PT x θJA) where θJC is the junction-to-case thermal impedance (3°C/W) of the 16-pin TSSOP-EP package and PT is power dissipated in the device. Solder the exposed pad of the package to a large copper area to spread heat through the board surface, minimizing the case-toambient thermal impedance. Measure the temperature of the copper area near the device (TC) at worst-case condition of power dissipation and use 3°C/W as θJC thermal impedance. The case-to-ambient thermal impedance (θJA) is dependent on how well the heat is transferred from the PCB to the ambient. Use a large copper area to keep the PCB temperature low. The θJA is 38°C/W for TSSOP-16-EP and 90°C/W for TSSOP-16 package with the condition specified by the JEDEC51 standard for a multilayer board. ⎤ Δ IL ) ⎥ ⎦ where D is the duty cycle at the highest input voltage (VIN-MAX). ______________________________________________________________________________________ 21 4.5V to 40V Input Automotive Flyback/Boost/SEPIC Power-Supply Controllers MAX15004/MAX15005 VIN 2.5V TO 16V L1 L11 = L22 = 7.5μH D2 STP745G D1 LL4148 R5 10Ω 1 C1 100nF IN VCC 16 CVCC 1μF VOUT D3 BAT54C C4 22μF C1 6.8μF C2 6.8μF C3 6.8μF C5 22μF C6 22μF VOUT (8V/2A) C7 6.8μF MAX15005A/B ON OFF 2 ON/OFF OUT 3 OVI 14 15 RG 1Ω STD20NF06L PGND 4 CSLOPE 47pF REG5 5 6 SLOPE REG5 13 C10 1μF REG5 RT 15kΩ CT 150pF N.C.

SEPIC Application Circuit 22 ______________________________________________________________________________________ 4.5V to 40V Input Automotive Flyback/Boost/SEPIC Power-Supply Controllers 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 heatsink as much as possible. Keep all PCB traces carrying switching currents as short as possible to minimize current loops. Use a ground plane for best results. Careful PCB layout is critical to achieve low switching losses and clean, stable operation. Refer to the MAX15005 EV kit data sheet for a specific layout example. Use a multilayer board whenever possible for better noise immunity. Follow these guidelines for good PCB layout: 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. 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. 3) Isolate the power components and high-current path from the sensitive analog circuitry. 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 VCC bypass capacitor. 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 fullload efficiency. 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. 9) Connect SYNC pin to SGND when not used.
