Additional Details

The MAX845 provides an isolated power supply small enough to fit in thin PCMCIA cards and space-sensitive applications. It drives a low-profile center-tapped transformer primary from a 5V or 3.3V DC power supply. The secondary can be wound to provide any isolated positive or negative voltage at powers up to 750mW.

The MAX845 consists of an oscillator followed by a toggle flip-flop. The flip-flop generates two 50% duty-cycle square waves, which are complementary at half the oscillator frequency (450kHz, min). These two signals drive the ground-referenced N-channel power switches. Internal circuitry ensures break-before-make action between the two switches.

A low-power shutdown disables both the switches and the oscillator, reducing power consumption. An evaluation kit (MAX845EVKIT-MM) is available to evaluate low-profile 5V 40mA and 5V 100mA applications.

Product Detail

The MAX845 evaluation kit (EV kit) is an assembled and tested isolated 5V power supply that meets PCMCIA height requirements. Two demonstration circuits are provided: a 100mA circuit that uses an industry-standard 78L05 regulator, and a 40mA circuit that uses a low-cost zener shunt regulator. Both circuits consist of a MAX845 IC (in the µMAX® package), a low-profile transformer, a half-wave rectified voltage doubler, and a regulator.
