Maxim Integrated
General Description
The MAX5058/MAX5059 enable secondary-side synchronous rectification in isolated power supplies using widely available power MOSFETs. These devices facilitate the commutation of the secondary-side MOSFETs by providing a clean gate-drive signal that is synchronized to the power MOSFET switching in the primary side of the isolation transformer.
FEATUREs
♦ Clean Drive Waveforms for Synchronous
MOSFETs
♦ Utilization of a Look-Ahead Signal from the
Primary for Proper Turn-On/Turn-Off Times
♦ Synchronous Rectifier Drivers Capable of
Sourcing and Sinking Up to 2A Peak Current
♦ Internal Gate-Voltage Regulator for 5V (MAX5058)
or 10V (MAX5059) Gate-Drive Voltage
♦ Internal Error Amplifier
♦ Accurate Differential Current-Share/Force Circuit
Allows Paralleling of Several Power Supplies for
High Output Current
♦ Internal Remote Voltage-Sense Amplifier
♦ Flexible Reference-Voltage Generation
♦ Output Voltage Regulation Down to 0.5V
♦ Low Quiescent Current Consumption of 2.5mA
♦ Integrated Digital Output Margining Circuit Saves
External Parts and Board Space
♦ 30ns Propagation Delay Time from Pulse Input
to Output
♦ Automatic Detection of Discontinuous Current
Conduction and Turn-Off of the Freewheeling
MOSFET
♦ High Efficiency at Low Output Currents and
Reverse-Current Protection
♦ Open-Drain Overtemperature Warning Flag
♦ 28-Pin Thermally Enhanced TSSOP Package
