Synchronizable, High-Frequency Current- and
Voltage-Mode PWM Controllers for Isolated Supplies
General Description
The MAX8540/MAX8541 pulse-width-modulated (PWM)
controllers for forward/flyback isolated DC-to-DC convert-
ers provide maximum flexibility to power-supply design-
ers and reduce external component count. These
controllers allow common PC board layout for current-
mode (MAX8540) and voltage-mode (MAX8541) designs.
Both controllers feature adjustable switching frequency
and external synchronization from 200kHz to 1MHz.
Active-high and active-low enable, undervoltage pro-
tection (UVP), and overvoltage protection (OVP) reduce
external component count.
Maximum duty cycle is adjustable, and the feed-forward
function scales the maximum duty cycle with input volt-
age to limit the maximum volt-seconds applied to the
transformer primary. The MAX8540 allows the user to
select the value of slope compensation to further opti-
mize magnetics design. The MAX8541 features user-
adjustable ramp magnitude for the PWM comparator.
A cycle-by-cycle current-limit function controls the peak
primary current during overload and short circuit. Both
controllers can be set to latch off or to hiccup when a
short circuit is detected. The number of current-limited
cycles to initiate the hiccup mode and number of
cycles skipped are user selectable to allow startup with
high-capacitance loads and protect the converter
against sustained short circuits.
The MAX8540/MAX8541 feature 9Ω internal gate dri-
vers for low-power applications and are compatible
with external gate drivers for high-power applications.
Both devices are available in the space-saving 16-pin
QSOP package.
The MAX8541 EV kit evaluates the MAX8540 and the
MAX8541 to speed designs. Design examples are also
available in application notes:

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
