Rainbow Electronics MAX5043 User Manual

General Description

The MAX5042/MAX5043 isolated multimode PWM power
ICs feature integrated switching power MOSFETs con­nected in a voltage-clamped, two-transistor, power-circuit
configuration. These devices operate from a wide 20V to
76V input voltage range. The MAX5042 includes a hot­swap controller for use with an external power MOSFET to
limit inrush current for applications where the power sup­ply is plugged into a live power backplane. The MAX5043
does not include a hot-swap controller.

The voltage-clamped power topology of the MAX5042/
MAX5043 enables full recovery of stored magnetizing
and leakage inductive energy for enhanced efficiency
and reliability. Operating at up to 500kHz switching fre­quency, these devices provide up to 50W of output
power. The MAX5042/MAX5043 allow the implementa­tion of both forward and flyback voltage or current-mode
converter topologies. A dedicated latched external shut­down provides protection in addition to internal thermal
shutdown.

The MAX5042/MAX5043 achieve higher efficiency when
used with secondary-side synchronous rectification.
These devices generate a look-ahead signal for driving
secondary-side synchronous rectifiers.

The MAX5042/MAX5043 are rated for operation over the

-40°C to +125°C temperature range and are available in
a small surface-mount 56-pin thin QFN package.

Warning: The MAX5042/MAX5043 are designed to
work with high voltages. Exercise caution.

MAX5042/MAX5043

Detailed Description

The MAX5042/MAX5043 PWM multimode power ICs
are designed for the primary side of voltage or current­mode isolated, forward or flyback power converters.
These devices provide a high degree of integration
aimed at reducing the cost and PC board area of isolat­ed output power supplies. Use the MAX5042/MAX5043
primarily for 24V, 42V, or 48V power bus applications.

The MAX5042/MAX5043 provide a complete system
capable of delivering up to 50W of output power. The
MAX5042 contains a hot-swap controller in addition to
the PWM and power MOSFETs. The hot-swap section
requires an external MOSFET (QHS). Figure 1 details
the MAX5042 conceptual block diagram. CINrepresents
the input bulk storage capacitance of the PWM circuit
that requires the soft-start to reduce the inrush current
from the backplane. When input power is applied,
capacitor CINis completely discharged and QHS is off.
An applied voltage higher than the default undervoltage
lockout threshold of the hot-swap controller (30.5V) for
more than 165ms (internal turn-on delay) causes the
gate voltage of QHS to start gradually increasing. This
results in a controlled slew-rate turn-on. The drain volt­age of QHS falls at a rate of approximately 10V/ms,
drawing a current load from the backplane of approxi­mately 1A for each 100µF of CINcapacitance. The
MAX5042’s PWM block is prevented from starting up
until the QHS MOSFET is fully enhanced. After QHS
completely turns on and the voltage across capacitor
CINis above the default startup voltage (31V) of the
PWM section, the hot swap enables the PWM block and
the soft-start cycle begins. Soft-start limits the amount of
current initially drawn from the primary during startup
and also prevents possible output-voltage overshoots.

The MAX5043, detailed in Figure 2, does not contain an
integrated hot-swap controller. The MAX5043 begins
operating when the input voltage exceeds both of the
undervoltage lockout voltages (at UVLO and DEN pins)
for 10ms.

The MAX5042/MAX5043 support both forward and fly­back power topologies. In forward mode, the maximum
output power is approximately 50W. In flyback mode,
the maximum output power is approximately 20W. The
amount of power dissipated by the package limits the
output power. The MAX5042/MAX5043’s QFN package
features an exposed metal pad on the bottom of the
package. Solder the exposed pad directly to the most
negative supply in the system. Use a large copper area
to improve heat dissipation. Facilitate heat transfer with
thermal vias.

Set the switching frequency with a resistor and a
capacitor at RCOSC. Switching at 250kHz ensures
switching losses are minimal and external power pas­sives are small enough for a compact circuit.

The MAX5042/MAX5043 incorporate an advanced set of
protection features that make them uniquely suitable
when high reliability and comprehensive fault protection
are required, as in telecommunication equipment power­supply applications. The MAX5042/MAX5043 15V linear
regulator output powers the 9V and 5V regulators used to
drive the gates and internal circuitry. A tertiary winding
connects to REG15 through a rectifier to power the
device after startup and reduces power dissipation in the
MAX5042/MAX5043 package. When REG15 is externally
powered, the internal 15V regulator is disabled.

Figures 3 and 4 show the block diagrams of the MAX5042
and MAX5043, respectively. The power-OK signals from
the hot-swap section, regulators, thermal shutdown, and
UVLO combine to generate the internal shutdown signal
SHDN. When asserted, SHDN disables the comparators
and oscillator. Deasserting SHDN releases the compara­tors and oscillators. The falling edge of SHDN is delayed
allowing the internal signals to settle before the PWM puls­es appear. During the time between the falling edge of
SHDN and its delayed signal, the 10Ω internal MOSFET
(QB) from XFRMRH to PWMPNEG turns on, charging the
BST capacitor. After startup, this MOSFET also turns on
for approximately 300ns at each half period to help
charge the BST capacitor.

Power Topology

The two-switch forward-converter topology offers out­standing robustness against faults and transformer satu­ration while affording efficient use of the integrated
75mΩ power MOSFETs. Voltage-mode control with feed­forward compensation allows the rejection of input sup­ply disturbances within a single cycle similar to that of
current-mode controlled topologies. This control method
offers some significant benefits when compared with
current-mode control. These benefits include:

• No minimum duty-cycle requirement due to current­signal filtering or blanking.

• Clean modulator ramp and higher amplitude for
increased stability.

• Stable bias point of the optocoupler LED and photo­transistor for maximized control-loop bandwidth (in
current-mode applications, the optocoupler bias
point is output-load dependent).

• Predictable loop dynamics simplifying the design of
the control loop.

The two-switch power topology recovers energy stored
in both the magnetizing and parasitic leakage induc­tances of the transformer. Figure 7 shows the schemat­ic diagram of a 48V input and 5V, 8A output isolated
power supply built with the MAX5042.

The MAX5042/MAX5043 also support current-mode con­trol. Current-mode control has advantages such as a sin­gle-pole power circuit and a small-signal transfer
function that simplify the design of power supplies with
widely varying output capacitors.

Undervoltage Lockout

The MAX5042 has two UVLO functions. Both the hot­swap section and the PWM section contain their own
undervoltage lockout comparators (HSEN and UVLO,
respectively). The MAX5043 lacks the hot-swapping
function, but retains the PWM UVLO and the deglitched
undervoltage lockout/power-on reset. In both cases,
internal resistors set a default input-voltage enable
threshold of 31V (typ).

The PWM default input voltage threshold value can be
adjusted by using an external divider in parallel with the
internal divider. The tolerances of the external divider
resistors dominate the precision of the UVLO trip point if
their values are smaller than those of the internal divider.
Override the default threshold by using:

Use an external 100kΩ pullup resistor to POSINPWM to

Internal Regulators

An internal high-voltage linear regulator provides a 15V
output at REG15. This serves as the input to the 9V reg­ulator that provides bias for the internal MOSFET dri­vers. The 15V regulator also provides the bias for REG5,
a 5V supply used both by internal as well as external cir­cuitry. Bypass the REG15, REG9, and REG5 regulators
with 1µF ceramic capacitors. A voltage greater than 18V
and less than 40V on REG15 disables the internal high­voltage startup regulator. The REG9 regulator steps
down the voltage on REG15 to an output of 9V with a
current limit of 100mA. The REG5 regulator steps down
the voltage on REG15 to an output of 5V with a current
limit of 40mA. Disabling the REG15 regulator by power­ing REG15 with an external power supply considerably
reduces the internal power dissipation in the
MAX5042/MAX5043. The voltage and power necessary
to override the REG15 internal regulator can be generat­ed with a rectifier and an extra winding from the main
transformer.

Soft-Start

Program the MAX5042/MAX5043 soft-start with an
external capacitor between CSS and PWMNEG. When
the device turns on, the soft-start capacitor (C

CSS

)

charges with a constant current of 33µA, ramping up to

7.3V. During this time, OPTO is clamped to CSS + 0.6V.
This initially holds the duty cycle lower than the value
the regulator tries to impose, limiting the current inrush
and the voltage overshoot at the secondary. When the
MAX5042/MAX5043 turn off, the soft-start capacitor
internally discharges to PWMNEG.

Secondary-Side Synchronization

The MAX5042/MAX5043 provide convenient synchro­nization of the secondary-side synchronous rectifiers.
Figure 5 shows the connection diagram with a high­speed optocoupler. Choose an optocoupler with a
propagation delay of less than 50ns.

For optimum results, adjust the resistor connected to
DRVDEL to provide the required amount of delay
between the leading edge of the PPWM signal and the
turn-on of the power MOSFETs. Use the following formu­la to calculate the approximate resistance (R

DRVDEL

)

required to set the delay between the PPWM and the
power pulse applied to the transformer:

where t

DRVDEL

is the required delay from the rising edge

of PPWM to the switching of the internal power MOSFETs.

PWM Regulation

The MAX5042/MAX5043 are multimode PWM power
ICs supporting both voltage and current-mode control.

Voltage-Mode Control and the PWM Ramp

For voltage-mode control, the feed-forward PWM ramp
is generated at RCFF. From RCFF connect a capacitor
to PWMNEG and a resistor to POSINPWM. The ramp
generated is applied to the noninverting input of the
PWM comparator at RAMP and has a minimum voltage
of 1.5V to 2.5V. The slope of the ramp is determined by
the voltage at POSINPWM and affects the overall loop
gain. The ramp peak must remain below the dynamic
range of RCFF (0 to 5.5V). Assuming the maximum duty
cycle approaches 50% at a minimum input voltage
(PWM UVLO turn-on threshold), use the following for­mula to calculate the minimum value of either the ramp
capacitor or resistor:

where:
V

INUVLO

= the minimum input supply voltage (typically

the PWM UVLO turn-on voltage),
fs= the switching frequency,
V

r

P-P

= the peak-to-peak ramp voltage (2V, typ).

Current-Sense Amplifier and Current-Mode Control

The MAX5042/MAX5043 can also be programmed for
current-mode control (see Figure 6). This control
method offers beneficial advantages for certain appli­cations. Current-mode control reduces the order of the
output filter, allowing easier control-loop compensation.
In current-mode control, the voltage across the current­sense resistor at SRC is amplified by the internal gain­of-10 amplifier IAMP. The cycle-by-cycle current-limit
threshold is 156mV. This is the peak voltage amplified
by IAMP. A 200mV offset is added to this voltage. The
voltage at the output of the current-sense amplifier is:

V

= 2 + 10(V

)

The low-frequency, small-signal gain of the power
stage (the gain from the inverting input of the PWM
comparator to the output) can be calculated using the
following formula:

where NPS= the primary to secondary power trans­former turns ratio,

RL= the low-frequency output impedance,
R

SENSE

= the primary current-sense resistor value.

Oscillator and Synchronization

Program the MAX5042/MAX5043 oscillator using an RC
network at RCOSC with the resistor connected to REG5
and the capacitor connected to PWMNEG. The PWM
frequency is half the frequency at RCOSC.

Use the following formula to calculate the oscillator
components:

where C

PCB

= 14pF,
REG5 = 5V,
fS= switching frequency,
VTH= RCOSC peak trip level.
The delay programmed by the resistor at DRVDEL lim-

its the power MOSFET’s maximum duty cycle to less
than 50 percent.

SYNC allows synchronization of the MAX5042/MAX5043
to an external clock. For proper synchronization, set the
external SYNC frequency 15% to 20% higher than the
programmed free-running frequency of the MAX5042/
MAX5043’s internal oscillator. The actual switching
frequency will be half the synchronizing frequency.

Integrating Fault Protection

The integrating fault protection feature allows the
MAX5042/MAX5043 to ignore transient overcurrent
conditions for a programmable amount of time, giving
the power supply time to behave like a current source
to the load. This can happen, for example, under load­current transients when the control loop requests maxi­mum current to keep the output voltage from going out
of regulation. Program the ignore time externally by
connecting a capacitor to FLTINT. Under sustained
overcurrent faults, the voltage across this capacitor
ramps up toward the FLTINT shutdown threshold (typi­cally 2.7V). When FLTINT reaches the threshold, the
power supply shuts down. A high-value bleed resistor
connected in parallel with the FLTINT capacitor allows
the capacitor to discharge toward the restart threshold
(typically 1.8V). Crossing the restart threshold soft­starts the supply again.

The ILIM comparator provides cycle-by-cycle current
limiting with a typical threshold of 156mV. The fault inte­gration circuit works by forcing an 80µA current out of
FLTINT for one clock cycle every time the current-limit
comparator (Figures 3 and 4, ILIM) trips. Use the fol­lowing formula to calculate the approximate capaci­tance (C

FLTINT

) needed for the desired shutdown time.

Shutdown Modes

Latched Shutdown

The MAX5042/MAX5043 feature a latched shutdown that
terminates switching in the event of a serious fault.
External faults in synchronously rectified power supplies
cause a loss of control for the rectifiers. Either the body or
the external Schottky diodes conduct, resulting in a very
high power dissipation and a quick rise of the power-sup­ply temperature. A thermal sensor placed on the same
ground plane as the secondary-side rectifiers can sense
this catastrophic increase in temperature and issue a
shutdown signal to PWMSD. Asserting PWMSD stops
switching and latches the fault until the power is cycled.
Connect PWMSD to REG5 to disable latched shutdown.

Functional Shutdown

Shut down the MAX5042/MAX5043 by pulling UVLO to
PWMNEG using an open-collector or open-drain transis­tor connected to PWMNEG. Pulling HSEN to NEGIN also
shuts down the MAX5042 after a 10ms turn-off delay.
Pulling DEN low also shuts down the MAX5043 with a
1ms turn-off delay. When HSEN is used, the MAX5042
goes through a full hot-swap startup sequence with a
165ms startup delay. The MAX5043 also has a 10ms
delay from when DEN asserts.

Thermal Shutdown

The MAX5042/MAX5043 feature internal thermal shut­down. Internal sensors monitor the high-power areas.
Thermal faults arise from excessive dissipation in the
power FETs or in the regulators. When the temperature
limit is reached, switching is terminated and the regulator
shuts down. The integration of thermal shutdown and the
power MOSFETs result in a very robust power circuit.

MAX5042 Hot-Swap Controller

The MAX5042 integrates a PWM power IC with a hot­swap controller. The design allows a power supply built
around the MAX5042 to be safely hot-plugged into a
live backplane without causing a glitch on the power­supply rail. The hot-swap section operates from
POSINHS to NEGIN. The MAX5042 only requires an
external N-channel MOSFET to provide hot-swap con­trol. Figures 1 and 3 detail hot-swap functionality.

The MAX5042 controls an external N-channel power
MOSFET placed in the negative power-supply pathway.
When power is applied, the MAX5042 keeps the MOS­FET off. The MOSFET remains off indefinitely if HSEN is
below 1.26V, POSINHS is below the undervoltage lock­out level (31V), or the die temperature exceeds
+150°C. If none of these conditions exist for 165ms, the
MAX5042 gradually turns on the MOSFET, allowing the
voltage on HSDRAIN to fall no faster than 10V/ms.
During this period, the PWM block remains in shut­down. The inrush current through the external MOSFET
(and therefore through the capacitor C

IN

) is limited to a
level proportional to its capacitance, and the constant
HSDRAIN slew rate. After the MOSFET completely turns
on, and HSDRAIN falls to its final value, the hot-swap
period is terminated and the PWM section of the IC
powers up.

HSEN offers external control of the MAX5042, facilitat­ing power-supply sequencing. HSEN can also be used
to change the undervoltage lockout level using an
external divider network, if necessary. Undervoltage
lockout keeps the external hot-swap MOSFET switched
off as long as the magnitude of the input voltage is
below the desired level. There is a 10ms turn-off delay
on the HSEN signal.

A power-good output, HSOK, asserts when the external
MOSFET completely turns on. HSOK is an open-drain
output referenced to NEGIN, and can withstand up to
80V above NEGIN.

Determining Hot-Swap Inrush Current

Calculate the hot-swap inrush current using the follow­ing formula:

where:
CIN= the load capacitance,
S

HSLR

is the MAX5042 hot-swap slew rate magnitude

given in the Electrical Characteristics table.
For example, assuming an input bulk capacitance of

100µF, and using the typical value of 10V/ms for the
slew rate, the calculated inrush current is 1A. See Table
1 for suggested external hot-swap MOSFETs.
