Many devices with rechargeable batteries use USB power to recharge the batteries while they are connected. This application note describes the power available from USB and how it can be used to charge batteries, including circuits and some hints.
The MAX17681/MAX17681A is a high-voltage, highefficiency, iso-buck DC-DC converter designed to provide isolated power up to 5W. The device operates over a wide 4.5V to 42V input and uses primary-side feedback to regulate the output voltage .
A high-voltage (30 V) DAC powered by a low-voltage (3 V) supply generates the tuning signal for the antenna and filter
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.
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 MAX17690 eliminates the need for an optocoupler or auxiliary transformer winding and achieves ±5% output voltage regulation over line, load, and temperature variations.
When people want portable music, they usually rely on battery-powered audio devices. With a bit of engineering blood (or curiosity) running in your veins, it is not difficult to build a wireless Bluetooth® stereo audio system that can be controlled with any device that has a Bluetooth connection and a music player.

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 MAX17509 integrates two 3A internal switch stepdown regulators with programmable features. The device can be configured as two single-phase 3A power supplies or as one dual-phase, single-output 6A power supply.
The MAX17596 is a peak-current-mode controller for designing wide input-voltage flyback regulators.
The MAXREFDES1252 is a No-Opto Flyback converter that delivers up to 1.2A at 14.5V from a 18V to 54V supply voltage. It is designed for industrial equipment that needs isolated voltage from wide input supply voltage.
This reference design shows how to use a MAX5060 current-mode, step-down power-supply controller to implement lossless current sensing for high-current applications. In this design, the series resistance (DCR) of the inductor is used for current sensing to avoid power loss in the current-sense resistor.
