MAX17690EVKITE#
General Description
The MAX17690E evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested circuit board that demonstrates the operation
of an isolated 16.5W no-opto flyback DC-DC converter
with secondary-side synchronous rectification. This circuit
is implemented using the MAX17690, a no-opto, flyback
controller in a 16-pin TQFN package with an exposed
pad. The synchronous rectification on the secondary-
side is enabled by replacing the secondary diode with a
MOSFET to achieve 84.7% efficiency. The circuit uses the
MAX17606, a secondary-side synchronous rectifier driver
in a 6-pin SOT23 package for driving the secondary-side
MOSFET.
The EV kit output is configured for an isolated +3.3V
and provides up to 5A of output current. The EV kit is
programmed to operate at a 200kHz switching frequency.
The transformer provides the galvanic isolation between
input and output, up to 1500V
RMS
. The EV kit regulates
the output voltage within ±5% over the line, load, and
temperature without using the auxiliary winding/optocoupler
for output voltage feedback.
Warning
● Do not turn on the power supply until all connections
are completed.
●
Wear protective eye gear at all times.
● Do not touch any part of the circuit with bare hands/
conductive materials when powered up.
●
Make sure all high-voltage capacitors are fully
discharged before handling. Allow 5 minutes after
disconnecting input power source before touching
circuit parts.

Detailed Description
The MAX17690 EV kit provides a proven design to evaluate
the MAX17690, a high-efficiency no-opto DC-DC flyback
controller. The device uses a novel sampling technique to
eliminate the optocoupler/third winding in sensing the output
voltage across the isolation boundary. The MAX17606, a
secondary-side synchronous driver, is used, along with the
MAX17690, to improve the converter efficiency.
This EV kit provides the programmable soft-start feature
to limit the inrush current. The EN/UVLO is used to start
the converter at the desired input voltage. The OVI is used
to turn-off the converter at the desired input overvoltage
level. The MAX17690 provides overcurrent and thermal
protection. The details of soft-start time programming,
programming the output voltage, peak-current-limit setting,
switching frequency setting, and the EN/UVLO, OVI settings
are described in the MAX17690 IC data sheet.
The MAX17606 has provision to program the turn-off trip
point of the secondary synchronous rectifier. An external
resistor (R18) connects the drain of the external MOSFET
to IC’s DRN pin. This resistor sets the turn-off trip point
using the precise internal current source. After the
synchronous rectifier is turned-off to avoid the false
tripping due to DCM ringing, the MAX17606 programs
the minimum turn-off time. The MAX17606 uses the
resistor (R20) connected between TOFF pin to GND0 to
program the minimum turn-off time. For selecting R18,
R20 and other components related to MAX17606, refer
the MAX17606 IC data sheet.
Set the power supply to +24VDC. Disable the power
supply output.
Connect the positive terminal of the power supply to
the VIN PCB pad and the negative terminal to the
nearest PGND PCB pad. Connect the positive terminal
of the electronic load to the VOUT PCB pad and the
negative terminal to the nearest GND0 PCB pad.
Connect the resistive load across the output terminals.
Connect a DMM configured in voltmeter mode across
the VOUT PCB pad and the nearest GND0 PCB pad.
Enable the power supply.
Verify that the output voltmeter displays 3.3V and, if
required, measure the output current using a DMM
programmed in ammeter mode.
If required, vary the input voltage from 18V to 36V,
and the load current from 50mA to 5A. Verify that the
output voltage is 3.3V ±5%.
