MAX1846 high-efficiency PWM inverting controllers allow designers to implement compact, low-noise, negative-output DC-DC converters for telecom and networking applications. Both devices operate from +3V to +16.5V input and generate -500mV to -200V output. To minimize switching noise, both devices feature a current-mode, constant-frequency PWM control scheme. The operating frequency can be set from 100kHz to 500kHz through a resistor.
The MAX1846 is available in an ultra-compact 10-pin µMAX® package. Operation at high frequency, compatibility with ceramic capacitors, and inverting topology without transformers allow for a compact design. Compatibility with electrolytic capacitors and flexibility to operate down to 100kHz allow users to minimize the cost of external components. The high-current output drivers are designed to drive a P-channel MOSFET and allow the converter to deliver up to 30W.
Current-mode control simplifies compensation and provides good transient response. Accurate current-mode control and over current protection are achieved through low-side current sensing.
