The MAX5094 is a high-performance single-ended current-mode PWM controller for isolated telecomms DC/DC convertors or universal offline input AC/DC power supplies.

Maxim Integrated Products has released the MAX5094, a high-performance single-ended current-mode PWM controller for isolated telecomms DC/DC convertors or universal offline input AC/DC power supplies This device is pin compatible with the industry standard and multisourced UCC28C43 and UCC28C45 family of products

Moreover, the MAX5094 provides lower startup current, tighter oscillator-frequency tolerance, and tighter current-sense accuracy than the UCC28C43 and UCC28C45, so designers can easily upgrade existing power-supply designs for higher performance with minimal component changes.

The MAX5094's switching frequency is externally programmable from 20kHz to 1MHz.

In addition the switching frequency is trimmed for +/-7% accuracy while current-limit threshold and start/stop voltages are trimmed for +/-5% accuracy.

The timing-capacitor discharge current is trimmed to +/-5%.

This allows accurate programming of the maximum duty cycle, which is 100% and 50% for the MAX5094A and MAX5094B, respectively.

The device's low 60ns cycle-by-cycle current-limit propagation delay provides a fast response to output short circuit.

Startup current is typically 35uA, which allows the use of a high-value startup resistor, thus reducing power dissipation and the size of the startup resistor.

The MAX5094 gate-driver output is capable of sourcing 2A and sinking 1A.

Rated for operation over a wide -40 to +125C temperature range, the MAX5094 is available in 8-pin SO and 8-pin microMAX packages.

Pricing starts at $0.64 (1000-up FOB USA).
