描述

The MAX17681/MAX17681A is a high-voltage, high-efficiency, iso-buck DC-DC converter designed to provide isolated power up to 5W. The device operates over a wide 4.5V to 42V input and uses primary-side feedback to regulate the output voltage. The MAX17681/MAX17681A uses peak-current-mode control. Low-resistance, on-chip MOSFETs ensure high efficiency at full load while simplifying the PCB layout. The MAX17681/MAX17681A devices generate a well-regulated primary side voltage, which is then scaled by a suitable transformer turns ratio to derive isolated secondary output rails. While both the MAX17681 and MAX17681A support primary side overcurrent protection, the MAX17681A is an enhanced design that also supports robust secondary-side over-current protection. The MAX17681/MAX17681A is available in a compact 10-pin (3mm × 2mm) TDFN package. Simulation models are available.

This reference design is derived from the MAX17681AEVKITF. The three main differences between MAXREFDES1170 and the MAX17681AEVKITF are as follows:

• The board size of the MAXREFDES1170 is 20mm × 40mm, which is approximately one-quarter the size of the MAXREFDES17681AEVKITF.
• The pin distances of the MAXREFDES1170 are consistent with Distributed-power Open Standards Alliance (DOSA) open standards for DC/DC brick power supplies.
• The reference design has two transformer options, one is from Wurth and the other is from the transformer vendor HanRun.

With the above three features, customers can reduce the whole solution size and cost. Customers can also mount this reference design on system boards.
