MAX17690
EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE
60V, No-Opto Isolated Flyback Controller
General Description
The MAX17690 is a peak current mode, fixed-frequency switching controller specifically designed for the isolated flyback topology operating in Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM). The device senses the isolated output voltage directly from the primary-side flyback waveform during the off-time of the primary switch. No auxiliary winding or optocoupler is required for output voltage regulation.
The MAX17690 is designed to operate over a wide supply range from 4.5V to 60V. The switching frequency is programmable from 50kHz to 250kHz. A EN/UVLO pin allows the user to turn on/off the power supply precisely at the desired input voltage.
