The MAXREFDES1269 demonstrates how to build a DC-DC buck converter using the MAX20098 step-down controller for 5V DC output applications from a 6V to 36V input. This reference design delivers up to 20A at 5V output. The design uses a six-layer board. Table above shows an overview of the design specification.
Evaluation kits (EV kits) are often the best tool for evaluating the applicability of a particular DC-DC converter for a specific application. Simulation, though never as accurate as the real hardware, is much faster and can be very effective for initial evaluations. Maxim Integrated’s MAX17504EVKITA is a 3.3V output EV kit for the MAX17504 member of the Himalaya family of high-voltage, synchronous step-down converters. The MAXIM_EESIM_MAX17504EVKITA.wxsch is a circuit file that enables simulation of this EV kit using the free EE-Sim SE simulation tool, downloadable from the Maxim Integrated website. EE-Sim SE is a variation of the commercial SIMPLIS/SIMetrix tool, which can also be used with this file.
This application note presents a reference design for a signal-lamp linear LED driver that consists of six strings of 4 LEDs per string and delivers 350mA per string with a common cathode configuration. Common cathode arrangements require that the current-sense resistors be placed on the high (anode) side, which forces the LED drivers to use a level shifter.

Flyback converters are the preferred topology in isolated converters for medium and low power range applications due to their simplicity and economic considerations. As flyback converters are isolated converters, the output voltage and the current are traditionally regulated by utilizing the secondary side regulation (SSR) composed of an optocoupler and a secondary-error amplifier.
This is a reference design for a SEPIC/linear LED-display backlight driver for eight parallel strings of 8 WLEDs (white LEDs) at 70mA/string. The dimming ratio is 4000:1. The input voltage is 16V to 36V with 50V transients. The design combines a SEPIC switching power supply with adaptive feedback and linear current sinks for high dimming ratios. The MAX16809 16-channel LED driver is featured.
This single-layer reference design for pedestal fans and other similar appliances features 2-inch diameter pads and an integrated controller that reduces component count. In addition, sensorless control eliminates the need for Hall sensors and provides multiple protection functions such as overcurrent protection, undervoltage lockout, and overheating protection, each of which improves the robustness of the design. This reference design is suitable for 8V-24V input voltage and is capable of delivering 3A (peak)/2A (rms) phase current.

The bq297xy device provides protection for Li-ion/Li-polymer batteries and monitors across external power FETs to provide protection against high charge or discharge currents. Additionally, there is monitoring and protection against overcharging and depleted batteries. These features are achieved with very low current consumption when operating in normal mode.
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.
