MAX13253 1A, Spread-Spectrum, Push-Pull, Transformer
Driver for Isolated Power Supplies
General Description
The MAX13253 is a 1A, push-pull, transformer driver
designed to provide a simple solution for low-EMI isolated
power supplies. The MAX13253 has an internal oscillator
and operates from a single +3.0V to +5.5V supply. The
transformer’s secondary-to-primary winding ratio defines
the output voltage, allowing selection of virtually any iso-
lated output voltage with galvanic isolation.
The MAX13253 features an integrated oscillator driving
a pair of n-channel power switches. The driver includes
pin-selectable spread-spectrum oscillation and a well-
controlled slew rate to reduce EMI. The MAX13253 can
optionally be driven by an external clock to further man-
age EMI. Internal circuitry guarantees a fixed 50% duty
cycle to prevent DC current flow through the transformer,
regardless of which clock source is used.
The MAX13253 operates with up to 1A of continuous
current and features integrated protection including fault
detection, overcurrent protection, and thermal shutdown.
The MAX13253 includes a low-current shutdown mode to
reduce the overall supply current to less than 5µA (max)
when the driver is disabled.
The MAX13253 is available in a small 10-pin (3mm x
3mm) TDFN package and is specified over the -40°C to
+125°C temperature range.
