Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that allows network cables to deliver power to a powered device (PD) through power-sourcing equipment (PSE) or midspan, and has many advantages over traditional methods of delivering power.
Due to its simplicity and low cost, the flyback converter is the preferred choice for low-to-medium isolated DC-DC power-conversion applications. However, the use of an optocoupler or an auxiliary winding on the flyback transformer for voltage feedback across the isolation barrier increases the number of components and design complexity.

The MAXREFDES171# is a complete, high-accuracy, IO-Link distance sensor reference design that provides accurate ranging up to 4m. Built in an industrial form factor, the design makes use of a commercially available time-of-flight (ToF), laser-ranging sensor.
The MAXREFDES1050 is a positive input, negative output power supply that delivers up to 1.5A at -15V from a 18V to 30V supply voltage. It is designed for industrial control equipment that uses analog components like amplifiers and multiplexers that operate on negative supply voltage.
The MAXREFDES1214 is a portable USB charger that uses a lithium-ion (Li+) battery to charge a USB device from a USB Standard-A connector.
The MAXREFDES1153 is a monitoring solution for genuine lithium-ion (Li+) battery packs with 2 to 15 cells connected in series. This reference design provides an accurate state of charge (SOC) in milliamp-hours (mAh) or percentage (%), as well as precision measurements of current, voltage, and temperature for multicell battery packs.
The MAXREFDES1044 is a reference design for the MAX30101 and several other Maxim® products that demonstrates how a small size, low cost, low power, high accuracy heart-rate monitor can be easily implemented. This design can monitor heart rate using red, infrared (IR), or green LEDs.
The MAXREFDES1181 is centered around the MAX17501 ultra small, high-efficiency, high-voltage, synchronous stepdown DC-DC converter with integrated MOSFETs.
The MAXREFDES164# IO-Link® temp sensor reference design uses the MAX14828 IO-Link device transceiver and supports the TMG TE IO-Link or TEConcept IO-Link stack.
The MAXREFDES1196 is a DC-DC boost power supply that delivers up to 4A at 24V from a 10V to 18V supply voltage. It is designed for equipment that needs a high-power, 24V output voltage that is generated from a 12V DC bus.
As LEDs are becoming more and more popular, so is the need for small, cost-effective solutions. The MAXREFDES1080 is a constant-current, high-brightness LED (HB LED) driver. It delivers 5W of power to a single LED string, which is included in the design. The circuit is in a step-down configuration and is designed for a 12V input.
The MAXREFDES1131 provides the internal core voltage (VCCINT) for Xilinx Ultrascale+ FPGAs. This reference design targets FPGAs with a -2L speed grade that require 0.72V for VCCINT from a 12V intermediary bus. The converter supports a maximum load of 12A at a 400kHz switching frequency.
Supercapacitors are increasingly being used in a number of applications in electric vehicles, transportation equipment, industrial machinery and utility grids. In the MAXREFDES1215, a supercapacitor-based energy harvester is demonstrated using the MAX17220. The circuit uses a supercapacitor to provide backup energy. The first stage of the circuit charges a supercapacitor, and the second stage of the circuit regulates the voltage from the supercapacitor to supply various sensors with a steady output voltage. In this system, the MAX17220 is used for regulating the output voltage from the supercapacitor.
The MAXREFDES1227 is a miniature 12V output isolated power supply that can deliver up to 2A load current. The design employs the MAX17596 peak-current-mode controller in discontinuous-conduction mode (DCM) flyback topology running at 125kHz. The input voltage range of MAX17596 is 4.5V to 36V; however, an extra bias winding from the transformer is used to power the controller. This allows an input operating voltage of up to 60V for this design.
The MAXREFDES1085 is a miniature, 24V output, isolated power supply that can deliver up to 1A of load current. The design uses the MAX17596 peak-current-mode controller in discontinuous-conduction mode (DCM) flyback topology running at 125kHz.
The MAXREFDES1158 is a 5V supplied, 2.75kVRMS isolated, 500kbps, RS-485 module using the MAX14946. This reference design demonstrates how to build an isolated RS-485 module with a low-cost transformer to provide isolated power.
Due to its simplicity and low cost, the flyback converter is the preferred choice for low-to-medium isolated DC-DC power-conversion applications. However, the use of an optocoupler or an auxiliary winding on the flyback transformer for voltage feedback across the isolation barrier increases the number of components and design complexity. The MAX17690 eliminates the need for an optocoupler or auxiliary transformer winding and achieves ±5% output voltage regulation over line, load, and temperature variations.
