The MAX5974_ provide control for wide-input-voltage, active-clamped, current-mode PWM, forward converters in Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) powered device (PD) applications.

The MAX5974A/MAX5974C are well-suited for universal or telecom input range, while the MAX5974B/ MAX5974D also accommodate low input voltage down to 10.5V.

The devices include several features to enhance supply efficiency. The AUX driver recycles magnetizing current instead of wasting it in a dissipative clamp circuit.

Programmable dead time between the AUX and main driver allows for zero-voltage switching (ZVS). Under lightload conditions, the devices reduce the switching frequency(frequency foldback) to reduce switching losses.

The MAX5974A/MAX5974B feature unique circuitry to achieve output regulation without using an optocoupler, while the MAX5974C/MAX5974D utilize the traditional optocoupler feedback method. An internal error amplifier with a 1% reference is very useful in nonisolated design, eliminating the need for an external shunt regulator.

The devices feature a unique feed-forward maximum duty-cycle clamp that makes the maximum clamp voltage during transient conditions independent of the line voltage, allowing the use of a power MOSFET with lower breakdown voltage. The programmable frequency dithering feature provides low-EMI, spread-spectrum operation.

The MAX5974_ are available in 16-pin TQFN-EP packages and are rated for operation over the -40℃ to +85℃ temperature range.

MAX5974A/B参考设计

This reference design is for a highly efficient, flyback, 12V/1A Class 2 powered device (PD) that is IEEE 802.3af/3at complaint and cost effective. The reference design can be customized to a 12V/2A Class 4 PD.

The design features the MAX5969B and MAX5974A. The MAX5969B controller is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3af/at standard in a power-over-Ethernet (PoE) system.

The device can also get power from a wall adapter (WAD). The MAX5974A controls wide-input-voltage, active-clamped, inductive feedback, current-mode PWM converters and provides frequency foldback for PoE applications. Using these devices, this reference design is IEEE 802.3af/at compliant. It is also a high-performance, compact, and economical solution for a Class 3 PD or a Class 4 PD.
