Current-Sense Comparator
The current-sense (CS) comparator and its associated
logic limit the peak current through the MOSFET.
Current is sensed at CS as a voltage across a sense
resistor between the source of the MOSFET and GND.
To reduce switching noise, connect CS to the external
MOSFET source through a 100Ω resistor or an RC low-
pass filter (Figures 5, 6). Select the current-sense resis-
tor, RSENSE according to the following equation:
RSENSE = 0.465V /ILIMPrimary
where ILIMPrimary is the maximum peak primary-side
current.
When VCS > 465mV, the power MOSFET switches off.
The propagation delay from the time the switch current
reaches the trip level to the driver turn-off time is 180ns.
Internal Error Amplifier
The MAX5942A/MAX5942B include an internal error
amplifier that can be used to regulate the output volt-
age in the case of a nonisolated power supply (see
Figure 5). Calculate the output voltage using the follow-
ing equation:
VOUT =
1+
R1
R2
× VREF
where VREF = 2.4V.
Choose R1//R2 << RIN, where RIN ≅ 50kΩ is the input
resistance of FB. The gain of the error amplifier is inter-
nally configured for -20 (see Figure 4).
The error amplifier may also be used to regulate the out-
put of the tertiary winding for implementing a primary-
side regulated isolated power supply (see Figure 7).
Calculate the output voltage using the following equation:
VOUT
=
NS
NT
1+
R1
R2
× VREF
where NS is the number of secondary turns and NT is
the number of tertiary winding turns.
