The MAX15059 constant-frequency pulse-width modulating (PWM) step-up DC-DC converter features an internal switch and a high-side current monitor with high-speed adjustable current limiting. This device is capable of generating output voltages up to 76V (300mW for the MAX15059A and 200mW for the MAX15059B) and provides current monitoring up to 4mA. The MAX15059 operates from 2.8V to 5.5V.

The constant-frequency (400kHz) current-mode PWM architecture provides low-noise-output voltage that is easy to filter. A high-voltage internal power MOSFET allows this device to boost output voltages up to 76V. Internal soft-start circuitry limits the input current when the boost converter starts. The MAX15059 features a shutdown mode to save power.

The MAX15059 includes a current monitor with more than three decades of dynamic range and monitors current ranging from 500nA to 4mA with high accuracy. Resistor-adjustable current limiting protects the APD from optical power transients. A clamp diode protects the monitor's output from overvoltage conditions. Other protection features include cycle-by-cycle current limiting of the boost converter switch, undervoltage lockout (UVLO), and thermal shutdown if the die temperature reaches +125°C.

The MAX15059 is available in a thermally enhanced, lead-free, 16-pin TQFN-EP package and operates over the -40°C to +125°C temperature range.

Product Detail

The MAX15059 evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates the MAX15059 APD biasing pulse-width modulation (PWM) step-up DC-DC converter with an internal power switch, current monitor, and adjustable current limiting. The step-up converter switches at 400kHz. The EV kit operates from a DC supply voltage of 2.8V to 5.5V and is configured to deliver approximately 70V, and 0 to 4mA of current at the output. The output voltage can be configured from VIN + 5V to 76V by replacing a resistor or adjusting the CNTRL voltage. The EV kit demonstrates the IC's APD fast current-limit, undervoltage-lockout (UVLO), and thermal-shutdown features.

The EV kit also features an APD input load-simulator circuit for current monitoring and step-response measurements.

The EV kit comes with the MAX15059AETE+ installed, but can also be used to evaluate the MAX15059BETE+.

Warning: Voltages exceeding 42V may exist on the VOUT, APD, MOUT, and PGND PCB pads.
