General Description
The MAX17499/MAX17500 current-mode PWM con-
trollers contain all the control circuitry required for the
design of wide-input-voltage isolated and nonisolated
power supplies. The MAX17499 is well suited for low
input voltage (9.5V DC to 24V DC) power supplies. The
MAX17500 is well suited for universal input (rectified
85V AC to 265V AC) or telecom (-36V DC to -72V DC)
power supplies.
The ICs contain an internal error amplifier that regulates
the tertiary winding output voltage that is used in prima-
ry-side-regulated isolated power supplies. Primary-side
regulation eliminates the need for an optocoupler. An
input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) is provided for pro-
gramming the input-supply start voltage and to ensure
proper operation during brownout conditions. An open-
drain UVLO flag output, with 210μs internal delay,
allows the sequencing of a secondary-side controller.
The input-supply start voltage is externally programma-
ble with a voltage-divider. A UVLO/EN input is used to
shut down the devices. Internal digital soft-start elimi-
nates output voltage overshoot.
The MAX17500 has an internal bootstrap UVLO with
large hysteresis that requires a minimum 23.6V for start-
up. The MAX17499 does not have the internal bootstrap
UVLO and can be biased directly from a minimum volt-
age of 9.5V.
The switching frequency for the ICs is programmable
with an external resistor. The MAX17499A/MAX17500A
provide a 50% maximum duty-cycle limit, while the
MAX17499B/MAX17500B provide a 75% maximum
duty-cycle limit. These devices are available in 10-pin
μMAX
®
packages and are rated for operation over the
-40°C to +125°C temperature range.

Note 1:
All devices are 100% tested at T
A
= +125°C. All limits over temperature are guaranteed by characterization.
Note 2:
The MAX17500 is intended for use in universal input power supplies. The internal clamp circuit at IN is used to prevent the
bootstrap capacitor (C1 in Figure 1) from charging to a voltage beyond the absolute maximum rating of the device when
UVLO/EN is low (shutdown mode). Externally limit the maximum current to IN (hence to clamp) to 2mA maximum when
UVLO/EN is low. Clamp currents higher than 2mA may result in a clamp voltage higher than 30V, thus exceeding the
absolute maximum rating for IN. For the MAX17499, do not exceed the 24V maximum operating voltage of the device.
Note 3:
V
REF
is measured with FB connected to COMP (see the
Functional Diagram).
Note 4:
The oscillator in the MAX17499A/MAX17500A is capable of operating up to 2500kHz. However, the NDRV switching fre-
quency is limited to operate up to 625kHz. Thus, the oscillator frequency for the MAX17499A/MAX17500A must be limited to
1250kHz (maximum).
