The MAX1522/MAX1523/MAX1524 are simple, compact boost controllers designed for a wide range of DC-DC conversion topologies, including step-up, SEPIC, and flyback applications. They are for applications where extremely low cost and small size are top priorities. These devices are designed specifically to provide a simple application circuit and minimize the size and number of external components, making them ideal for PDAs, digital cameras, and other low-cost consumer electronics applications.

These devices use a unique fixed on-time, minimum off-time architecture, which provides excellent efficiency over a wide-range of input/output voltage combinations and load currents. The fixed on-time is pin selectable to either 0.5µs (50% max duty cycle) or 3µs (85% max duty cycle), permitting optimization of external component size and ease of design for a wide range of output voltages.

The MAX1522/MAX1523 operate from a +2.5V to +5.5V input voltage range and are capable of generating a wide range of outputs. The MAX1524 is intended for bootstrapped operation, permitting startup with lower input voltage. All devices have internal soft-start and short-circuit protection to prevent excessive switching current during startup and under output fault conditions. The MAX1522/MAX1524 have a latched fault mode, which shuts down the controller when a short-circuit event occurs, whereas the MAX1523 reenters soft-start mode during output fault conditions. The MAX1522/MAX1523/MAX1524 are available in a space-saving 6-pin SOT23 package.

Applications

  • Industrial +24V and +28V Power Supplies
  • LCD Bias Supplies
  • Low-Cost Battery-Powered Applications
  • Low-Cost, High-Current, or High-Voltage Boost Conversion
  • Low-Cost, Multi-Output Flyback Converters
  • SEPIC Converters

Product Detail

The MAX1522 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount circuit board that contains two separate step-up switching controller circuits. The first circuit (left side) utilizes the MAX1524, is configured for +5V output, and can deliver up to 1A of current. The MAX1524 supply pin is bootstrapped to the output. The second circuit (right side) utilizes the MAX1522, is configured for +12V output, and can deliver up to 200mA of current with the input voltage as low as +2.7V.

The MAX1522 and MAX1524 feature soft-start and fault-detect. The EV kit allows the user to set the on-time of the N-channel MOSFETs to either 0.5µs or 3µs.
