The MAX17596 is a peak-current-mode controller for designing the wide input-voltage flyback regulators.
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.
TI's TIDC-EVSE-WIFI validated reference design details how to implement a J1772-compliant Level 1 and Level 2 Electric Vehicle Service Equipment (EVSE) solution with added Wi-Fi® functionality. The CC3100 network processor allows highly embedded devices such as EVSE to easily connect to existing wireless networks or directly to the device. By integrating this functionality into the EVSE, the design enables remote power monitoring and control of the charge status of connected electric vehicles.
The Palo Verde reference design (MAXREFDES33#) is a high-efficiency, high-voltage, synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated MOSFETs operating over a 4.5V to 60V input voltage range and delivering output current up to 300mA at 3.3V . Test results and hardware files provide complete documentation for designs. The board is also available for purchase.
The PMP20410 is a synchronous 4-switch buck/boost converter reference design using the LM5175 controller for battery charger applications. Output voltages from 1V to 10V can be selected over a current range of 13A to 28A by using a trim resistor on the FB pin with a bias voltage of 0.2V to 3.1V. This reference design also uses the nonsynchronous boost regulator LMR62014 to provide bias voltage for the LM5175 operating in 2.7V input voltage mode. The current mode controller has built-in LM5175 pulse-by-pulse current limiting function. This board includes enable, sync, and power-good functions. This reference design supports resistive heating elements with resistances ranging from 0.1Ω to 0.5Ω, allowing 80W of power to be supplied.
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.
A high-voltage (30 V) DAC powered by a low-voltage (3 V) supply generates the tuning signal for the antenna and filter
To provide system designers with a new cost-effective and simple alternative solution for high-precision temperature measurement, this reference design introduces a new ultra-small 2-pin digital output IC temperature sensor with a single line pulse counting interface that improves reliability and greatly simplifies the design of electrically isolated architectures to send power and unidirectional data through the same low-profile transformer and remote operation. Additionally, error budget calculations are simpler because there are fewer error sources. Cost budget, accuracy, size, and simplicity of connection to other circuit components are major factors to consider when selecting a sensor to perform the job, and this reference design system can be of great assistance in meeting these requirements. This design has a maximum measurement error of less than 0.25°C over the -50°C to 150°C temperature range, provides 400VRMS of functional isolation, and is pre-certified to IEC61000-4-4 to significantly reduce the cost of high-accuracy temperature measurement systems Development design time.
7 W Wide-Range Input, Dual Output, Non-Isolated Flyback Converter Using LinkSwitch-XT2 900 V (LNK3696P)
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.
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 .
