MAX256ASA+T Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX256ASA+T is an integrated primary-side controller and H-bridge driver designed for isolated power-supply circuits. It operates from a single supply voltage of +5V or +3.3V and can deliver up to 3W to the primary winding of a transformer.

 

This device features an internal programmable oscillator or can be driven by an external clock for improved EMI performance. It guarantees a fixed 50% duty cycle to prevent DC current flow in the transformer. The MAX256 includes undervoltage lockout for controlled startup and break-before-make switching to prevent cross-conduction of H-bridge MOSFETs. Thermal shutdown circuitry provides protection against overtemperature conditions.

 

Available in an 8-pin thermally-enhanced SO package, the MAX256ASA+T is specified for the automotive temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. Its typical on-resistance is 500mOhm for both low-side and high-side MOSFETs, and it provides a 1A output current. Key features include an internal oscillator, watchdog timer, and fault protection against ESD, over temperature, and UVLO.

 

Applications for the MAX256ASA+T include isolated power supplies, industrial process control, isolated communications links, medical equipment, and telecommunications.
