3W Primary-Side Transformer H-Bridge Driver
for Isolated Supplies
General Description
The MAX256 is an integrated primary-side controller
and H-bridge driver for isolated power-supply circuits.
The device contains an on-board oscillator, protection
circuitry and internal FET drivers to provide up to 3W of
power to the primary winding of a transformer. The
MAX256 can be operated using the internal program-
mable oscillator or can be driven by an external clock
for improved EMI performance. Regardless of the clock
source being used, an internal flip-flop stage guaran-
tees a fixed 50% duty cycle to prevent DC current flow
in the transformer.
The MAX256 operates from a single-supply voltage of
+5V or +3.3V, and includes undervoltage lockout for
controlled startup. The device prevents cross-conduc-
tion of the H-bridge MOSFETs by implementing break-
before-make switching. Thermal shutdown circuitry
provides additional protection against damage due to
overtemperature conditions.
The MAX256 is available in the 8-pin thermally-enhanced
SO package. The device is specified for the automotive
(-40°C to +125°C) temperature range.

Note 1:
ST1 and ST2 are not protected against short circuits. Damage to the device may result from a short-circuit fault.
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.

FUNCTION
Clock Input/Oscillator Frequency Adjust. When MODE is HIGH, set the internal oscillator frequency by
connecting a 10kΩ or greater resistor from CK_RS to ground. When MODE is LOW, apply an external
clock signal to CK_RS. The MAX256 outputs switch at one half the external clock frequency.
