MAX5042 Evaluation Kit
The MAX5042 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested circuit board that contains a high-efficiency,
high-power, isolated, hot-pluggable, 40W (with adequate cooling) forward DC-DC converter in the industrystandard half-brick footprint. The circuit is configured for
a +5.0V output voltage and provides up to 8A of current.
Power for the circuit can be provided from either a +36V
to +75V or -36V to -75V DC source used in the telecom/datacom markets (48V modules), industrial environments, or in automotive 42V power systems.
A high efficiency of up to 85% at 6A and 30W output
power is achieved using a clamped two-transistor
topology. Part of the efficiency improvement is due to
the recovery of stored leakage and magnetizing inductance energy at the primary side. Galvanic isolation is
achieved by an optocoupler and the surface-mount planar transformer.
Operation at 250kHz allows the use of small magnetics
and output capacitors. The EV kit provides cycle-bycycle current-limit protection. Additional steady-state
fault protection is provided by integrating fault protection and internal thermal shutdown. The MAX5042 also
has a programmable undervoltage lockout (UVLO).
Warning: The MAX5042 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 EV kit with
care to avoid possible personal injury.
Do not short the -VIN pad to the “EV kit Ground” when
the hot-swap MOSFET N1 is off (please consult the
“Absolute Maximum Voltage Rating Diagram” in the
MAX5042 data sheet). The -VIN pad and EV kit ground
are at an 80V difference. The EV kit user should not
probe the circuit with an oscilloscope probe and
ground clip unless they have high-voltage hot-swap
experience.

Quick Start
Detailed Description
Required Equipment
The MAX5042 EV kit is an isolated, hot-pluggable, 40W
forward DC-DC converter that provides +5V at up to 8A
output with adequate cooling. The circuit can be powered
from a +36V to +75V or a -36V to -75V DC source.
Caution: Refer to the “Absolute Maximum Voltage
Rating Diagram” in the MAX5042 data sheet when
attempting to connect test equipment to the EV kit.
The MAX5042 IC controls the hot-pluggable circuit, limiting the inrush current and rise time of the voltage to the
40W forward DC-DC converter circuit. The hot-pluggable
circuit feature is provided by MOSFET N1, UVLO resistors
R16/R17, the HSOK pad, and one MAX5042. When the
MAX5042 EV kit is inserted into a live backplane system,
the MAX5042 controls the turn-on rate of MOSFET N1
once the UVLO is above +30V (default UVLO). After
MOSFET N1 is completely enhanced, the HSOK pad
open-drain signal pulls low indicating that the hot swap
was successful. Next, the 40W forward DC-DC converter
circuit starts switching at 250kHz. Note that the IC paddle
is connected to the -VIN power rail and when MOSFET N1
is fully enhanced, the primary-side ground is connected
to the -VIN power rail. Jumper JU2 is provided to bypass
hot-plugging MOSFET N1. When using JU2, note that it
will carry the full primary current.
• ±36V to ±75V power supply capable of providing 3A
• Voltmeter
• A fan to provide at least 100LFM airflow for extended operation at 8A.
The MAX5042 EV kit is fully assembled and tested.
Follow these steps to verify board operation. Do not
turn on the power supply until all connections are
completed.
Forward DC-DC Converter Output
1) Connect a jumper wire from the VOUT pad to the
+SENSE pad.
2) Connect a jumper wire from the SGND pad to the
-SENSE pad.
3) Connect a voltmeter to the VOUT and SGND pads.
4) Connect the 36V to 75V power supply to the +VIN
pad. Connect the power supply’s ground to the -VIN
pad. Do not exceed 80V input voltage.
5) Turn on the power supply above 36V and verify that
VOUT provides +5V at the voltmeter.
For instructions on selecting the feedback resistors for
other output voltages, see the Evaluating Other Output
Voltages section.

MAX5042 Evaluation Kit
The 40W forward converter achieves high efficiency by
using a clamped two-transistor power topology with both
power transistors integrated on the MAX5042 IC. Cycleby-cycle current limiting protects the converter against
short circuits at the output. Current-sense resistor R10
senses the current through the primary of transformer T1
and then turns off both internal transistors when the
156mV trip level is reached. For a continuous short circuit at the output, the MAX5042’s fault integration feature
provides hiccup fault protection, thus greatly minimizing
destructive temperature rise.
The planar surface-mount transformer features a bias
winding, which, along with diode D4, resistor R9, and
capacitor C7, powers the MAX5042 IC after PWM startup is complete. A reset winding is not required with a
clamped two-transistor power topology. Schottky
diodes D1 and D2 recover the magnetic energy stored
in the core and feed it back to the +VIN input when
both internal transistors turn off. The transformer provides galvanic isolation.
On the transformer’s secondary side, optically isolated
error amplifier U2 along with feedback resistors R1 and
R2 provide voltage feedback to the primary side. The
MAX5042 receives the voltage feedback signal on the
primary side. Biasing resistor R21 provides biasing for
the optocoupler transistor while the resistor/capacitor
network R6/C8 provides compensation.
Remote output-voltage sensing is provided by the
+SENSE and -SENSE for accurate output-voltage regulation across the load. The soft-start feature allows the
output voltage to slowly ramp up in a controlled manner
within 4ms. The MAX5042 switches at a preconfigured
250kHz frequency set by resistor R15 and capacitor
C14. The output provides up to 8A of continuous current when a cooling fan with at least 100LFM airflow is
used. Dual-diode D3’s heatsink is connected to SGND.
The 6-layer PC board layout and component placement
has been designed for the industry-standard half-brick
footprint and pinout. Resistor/capacitor network R14 and
C2 prevent voltage overshoot as a result of the ±VIN
input line inductance when hot plugging the EV kit.

Shutdown
Shutdown Mode
The MAX5042 EV kit features a jumper pad (JU1) and a
hole-pad (SHDN) to remotely shut down the hot-pluggable, 40W forward DC-DC converter. Once the
MAX5042 EV kit is shut down by either jumper method,
the power to the EV kit must be cycled on/off before the
MAX5042 starts switching again. Jumper pad JU1 can be
used to manually shut down. An isolated optocoupler with
an open-collector/drain transistor or relay contact can be
connected across jumper JU1 to remotely shut down the
EV kit.
Evaluating Other Output Voltages, Current
Limits, Soft-Starts and UVLOs
VOUT Output Voltage
The MAX5042 EV kit’s output (VOUT) is set to +5.0V by
feedback resistors R1 and R2. To generate output voltages other than +5.0V (from +3.2V to +5.0V), select different voltage-divider resistors (R1, R2). Resistor R1 is
typically chosen to be less than 25kΩ. Using the
desired output voltage, resistor R2 is then found by the
following equation:



R1 
R2 = 

 VOUT − 1
 V

 REF

where VREF is 1.24V and VOUT is the desired output
voltage.
The maximum output current should be limited to less
than 8A. The usable output voltage range for the EV kit
is +3.2V to +5.0V. U2 and resistor R3 limit the minimum
output voltage (VOUT) to +3.2V.

 NS

 N × 1.9 × IOUT(MAX) 
 P

where V SENSE = 0.156V, N S = 4, N P = 10 and
IOUT(MAX) = maximum DC output current (8A as configured). There are errors introduced as a result of the
presence of the transformer’s magnetic inductance and
output inductor ripple current.
Soft-Start
The MAX5042 EV kit limits the output voltage rate of
rise with a soft-start feature. Capacitor C11 (0.1µF),
sets the ramp time to approximately 4ms. To evaluate
other soft-start ramp times, replace capacitor C11 with
another surface-mount capacitor (0805 size) as determined by the following equation:
 32µA × soft start _ time 
C11 = 

1.4 V


Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The MAX5042 EV kit features a UVLO circuit that prevents operation below the programmed input supply
start voltage. Resistors R7 and R8 set the EV kit’s input
voltage brownout UVLO. To evaluate input UVLO voltages other than the default (31.5V), install resistors R7
and R8 (0603 size) with the desired resistor values.
Using the startup voltage, resistor R7 is then found by
the following equation:
(
 V
IN(STARTUP) − 1.24V
R7 = 

1.24V


)  × R8



where VIN(STARTUP) is the desired startup voltage at
which the EV kit starts and resistor R8 is typically 10kΩ.
Calculating the Hot-Swap MOSFET Snubber
Resistor/Capacitor Values
Resistor R14 and capacitor C2 are series connected
across the drain/source terminals of hot-swap MOSFET
N1 to prevent voltage overshoot as a result of the ±VIN
input line inductance when hot-plugging the EV kit. To
calculate new values for capacitor C2 and resistor R14
use the following equations:
C2 = 75 × CDS _ 30V
R7 =
1
×
3
 L WIRING 
C

 DS _ 30V 
where: CDS_30V is the hot-swap MOSFET N1 drain-tosource approximate capacitance at a 30V bias point.
LWIRING is the total approximate inductance of the wiring
or backplane connected to the EV kit’s ±VIN inputs.
where soft start_time is the desired soft-start time in
seconds.

Current Limiting
The EV kit features cycle-by-cycle current limiting for
the transformer primary current. The MAX5042 IC turns
off both internal switching transistors when the voltage
across the CSP and CSN pins of the MAX5042 reaches
156mV. Current-sense resistor R10 (R10 = 0.025Ω) limits the peak primary current to approximately 6.2A
(156mV/0.025Ω = 6.2A). This limits short-circuit current
on the secondary output (VOUT) to approximately 14A.
To evaluate lower current limits, current-sense resistor
R10 must be replaced with a different value surfacemount resistor (1206 size) as determined by the following equation:
