Overview

The MAXREFDES1187 is a detailed reference design for a 7.5W offline discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) flyback converter. The design uses the MAX17595 peak-current-mode controller to convert a 176V AC to 284V AC input into a regulated 5V DC output at up to 1.5A. It features a secondary-side MAX17606 synchronous rectifier driver and a specialized 750317622 transformer from Wurth Elektronik. Key technical features include a 125kHz switching frequency, programmable frequency dithering for EMI reduction, soft-start, and integrated protection such as hiccup-mode overcurrent and thermal shutdown. The document includes comprehensive design calculations for transformer magnetizing inductance, turns ratios, and peak/RMS current values.

Use Cases

  • Universal input AC-DC power supplies
  • Telecom power supplies (36V to 72V)
  • Isolated industrial power modules
  • EMI-sensitive power conversion
