Analog Devices MAX17596 | Demoboard MAXREFDES1084

Description

The MAXREFDES1084 is a miniature, 24V output, isolated power supply that can deliver up to 0.5A of load current. The design uses the MAX17596 peak-currentmode controller in discontinuous-conduction mode (DCM) flyback topology running at 125kHz. The input voltage range of the MAX17596 is 4.5V to 36V. However, an extra bias winding from the transformer is used to power the controller. This allows the input operating voltage to go up to 60V for this design.The transformer provides a galvanic isolation of 1500VRMS between the primary and the secondary. In addition, an optocoupler is used to provide secondary-side feedback to the controller for voltage regulation while maintaining isolation. This document also discusses a step-by-step procedure to implement this reference design and presents design equations for the calculation of all the design parameters. These equations show how to calculate the component values to allow users to modify this design for their applications. Key features of the MAXREFDES1084 are as follows:
