Wide input range, 5V/2.6A output flyback converter

This reference design is for a highly efficient, flyback, 5V Class 3 powered device (PD) with a wide 9V to 57V auxiliary input. The design features the MAX5969B as its controller. The design also uses the MAX5974D, which controls current-mode PWM converters and provides frequency foldback for both the auxiliary input and power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. Using these devices, this reference design is IEEE® 802.3af/at compliant. It is also a high-performance, compact, and cost efficient solution for a Class 3 PD. The design can also support the wide auxiliary-input voltage range to provide 10W output power.

Active clamp forward, dual-output PD provides high-performance support for POE applications

This reference design is for a highly efficient, active-clamped forward, dual 3.3V/8.8V-output powered device (PD). The design features the MAX5969A and MAX5900 as its controllers. The design also uses the MAX5974C, which controls current-mode PWM converters and provides zero-voltage switching (ZVS) and frequency foldback to enhance supply efficiency. Using these devices, this RD is IEEE® 802.3at compliant and is a high-performance, compact, and cost-efficient solution for PoE and nonstandard high-power PDs. The design can also support the auxiliary input voltage to provide maximum 55W output power.

MAX2550-MAX2553 Transceiver Femtocell Wireless Reference Design

The MAX2550 is a complete single-chip radio transceiver for UMTS band 1 femtocell applications. The RD2550 reference design is based on the MAX2550 and contains all of the relevant components necessary to design and build a competitive radio solution to support the base-station transceiver (BTS) frequency band: 1920MHz to 1980MHz (Rx) and 2110MHz to 2170MHz (Tx). The RD2550 also supports downlink monitoring of surrounding macrocells. This enables the system to select the most suitable operating conditions (power, codes, frequencies, capacity, etc.).
