MAX5069A Evaluation Kit
Operation at 500kHz allows the use of small magnetics
and output capacitors. A SYNC input is featured to ease
synchronization to an external clock. The EV kit provides
cycle-by-cycle current-limit protection. Additional steadystate fault protection is provided by the integrating fault
protection that reduces average dissipated power during
continuous overload conditions. The MAX5069A also has
a programmable input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) for
protection during brownout conditions. The EV kit may be
used to evaluate other versions of the MAX5069.
Warning: The MAX5069A EV kit is designed to operate
with high voltages. Dangerous voltages are present on
this EV kit and on equipment connected to it. Users who
power up this EV kit or power the sources connected to it
must be careful to follow safety procedures appropriate to
working with high-voltage electrical equipment.
Under severe fault or failure conditions, this EV kit may
dissipate large amounts of power, which could result in
the mechanical ejection of a component or of component
debris at high velocity. Operate this kit with care to avoid
possible personal injury.

General Description
The MAX5069A evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested circuit board that contains a high-efficiency,
120W isolated push-pull DC-DC converter. The circuit is
configured for a +12V output voltage and provides up to
10A of output current. The circuit can be powered from
either a +36V to +72V or -36V to -72V DC source, as used
in the telecom/datacom markets, industrial environments,
or in automotive 42V power systems.
High efficiency up to 91% is achieved at 10A while using
two n-channel primary-side MOSFETs switching at up to
90% combined duty cycle. On the secondary-side,
reduced output-voltage ripple and high efficiency is
achieved through full-wave rectification from a centertapped planar transformer. Galvanic isolation up to 500V
is achieved by an optocoupler and the planar surfacemount transformer. The optocoupler helps in providing
isolated secondary-side regulation.

MAX5069A Evaluation Kit
Detailed Description
The MAX5069A EV kit is a 120W, isolated, push-pull
DC-DC converter that provides +12V at up to 10A output. The circuit can be powered from a 36V to 72V DC
source. The user should supply an additional 330µF
bulk storage capacitor between the input terminals
(+VIN, -VIN). This capacitor should be rated for 100V
and be able to carry approximately 2A of ripple current.
Lower ripple-current-rated capacitors should be
acceptable for short-term operation
The push-pull converter achieves high efficiency by
using two external n-channel MOSFETs on the primary
side that can switch up to 90% combined duty cycle
that results in lower primary RMS currents through the
MOSFET switches resulting in improved efficiency.
Cycle-by-cycle current limiting prevents the primary
current from reaching destructive levels, whereas the
fault integration feature provides hiccup fault protection. For a continuous short circuit at the output, the
MAX5069’s fault integration feature provides hiccup
fault protection. This greatly minimizes destructive temperature rise during persistent overload conditions. Pin
8 of the MAX5069A, capacitor C11, and resistor R9
form the fault integration circuit. Current-sense resistors
R14 and R15 sense the current through the primary of
transformer T1 and turn off the respective MOSFET (N1
or N2) that is switching when the trip level of 314mV
(typ) is reached.
The planar surface-mount transformer features a bias
winding that, along with diode-pair D2, D3, and inductor
L2, provide full-wave rectification for the bias voltage
powering the MAX5069A once the input voltage is stable.
Upon initial input-voltage application, bootstrap resistor
R10 and reservoir capacitor C9 enable the MAX5069A to
startup within approximately 200ms. The transformer uses
a secondary-side center tap and dual Schottky diode D1
to provide full-wave rectification for reduced output-voltage ripple. When either MOSFET is turned off and the
alternate turned on, both D1 diodes are conducting. The
transformer provides galvanic isolation up to 500V.
Resistor R21 and capacitor C24 form a snubber network
that suppresses transient overvoltage ringing at diode D1
caused by transformer T1 leakage inductance and diode
D1 junction capacitance.
On the transformer’s secondary side, a 0.6V shunt regulator (MAX8515, U3) along with feedback resistors R1
and R2 provide secondary-side voltage feedback
through optocoupler U2 to the primary side. The
MAX5069A receives the voltage feedback signal on the
primary side from biasing resistors R16, R17, R18, and
optocoupler U2.
4
The MAX5069A controller’s internal oscillator clock
switches at 500kHz and the frequency is programmed
by resistor R3. The duty cycle of both MOSFETs is varied to control energy transfer to the output. The
MAX5069A EV kit’s maximum duty cycle is 90% as configured. Resistor R4 sets the dead time for both switches and has an impact on the maximum duty cycle.
The MAX5069A brownout and input-supply startup
UVLO threshold voltage is set by resistors R5 and R6.
This prevents the power supply from starting up or
operating below the programmed input supply voltage.
Test point TP1 is provided to connect an external clock
to the SYNC pin on the MAX5069A.
The EV kit’s PC board layout is a 4-layer 2oz copper
PC board.
Evaluating Other Output Voltages,
Current Limits, UVLOs
VOUT Output Voltage
The MAX5069A EV kit’s output (VOUT) is set to +12V by
feedback resistors R1 and R2. To generate other output
voltages in the vicinity of +12V (from +8V to +15V, limited by the output capacitor and diode D1 voltage rating), select different voltage-divider resistors (R1, R2).
Resistor R2 is typically chosen to be less than 2kΩ.
Using the desired output voltage, resistor R1 is then
found by the following equation:
 V
 
R1 = R2   OUT  − 1
V
  REF  
where VREF = 0.6V
The maximum output current should be limited to less
than 10A. The usable output voltage range for the EV kit
is +8V to +15V. Additionally, ICs U3, U2, and resistor R19
limit the minimum output voltage (VOUT) to +2.6V. For
voltages outside the above range, a different turns ratio
transformer may be required.
Current Limiting
The EV kit features cycle-by-cycle current limiting of the
transformer primary current. Current-sense resistors
R14 and R15 sense the current through the primary of
transformer T1 and turn off MOSFET N1 or N2 when the
trip level of 314mV (typ) is reached. Current-sense
resistors R14 and R15 limit the peak primary current to
approximately 5.3A (314mV / 0.060Ω ≈ 5.3A). This will
limit short-circuit current on the secondary output
(VOUT) to 20A typically. To evaluate lower current limits, current-sense resistors R14 and R15 must be
replaced with different value surface-mount resistors
(2010 size) as determined by the following equation:
_______________________________________________________________________________________
MAX5069A Evaluation Kit
VSENSE
Push-Pull DC-DC Converter
 NS 
 N  × (1.2 × IOUTMAX )
 P
where R CS = parallel combination of R14 and R15,
VSENSE = 0.314V, NS = 2, NP = 5, and IOUTMAX = maximum DC output current (10A or less). Note that some
fine-tuning may be required when selecting the currentlimit resistors. Errors are introduced as a result of the
MAX5069A IC current-limit propagation delays.
Input Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The MAX5069A EV kit features a brownout and inputsupply startup UVLO circuit that prevents operation
below the programmed input-supply start voltage.
Resistors R5 and R6 set the input undervoltage lockout
threshold of the EV kit. To evaluate other input UVLO
voltages, replace resistor R5 with another surface-mount
resistor (0805 size). Using the desired startup voltage,
resistor R5 is then found by the following equation:
N1 DRAIN VOLTAGE
0V
N2 DRAIN VOLTAGE
0V
1µs/div
Figure 1. MOSFETs N1 and N2 Drain-Source Voltage Waveforms
(50V per Division, 1µs per Division)
 VINSTARTUP 
R5 = 
− 1 × R6
 1.231V

where VINSTARTUP is the desired startup voltage at which
the EV kit starts and resistor R6 is typically in the 20kΩ
range. Refer to the MAX5069A/D UVLO Adjustment and
Bootstrap Undervoltage Lockout sections of the
MAX5069 data sheet for additional information on the
UVLO/EN pin of the MAX5069A IC.
