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 2, 3). Select the current-sense resis-
tor, R

The propagation delay from the time the switch current
reaches the trip level to the driver turn-off time is 170ns.
An internal 275kHz oscillator determines the switching
frequency of the controller. At the beginning of each
cycle, NDRV switches the N-channel MOSFET on.
NDRV switches the external MOSFET off after the maxi-
mum duty cycle has been reached, regardless of the
feedback.
The MAX5014 uses an internal ramp generator for
slope compensation. The internal ramp signal is reset
at the beginning of each cycle and slews at 26mV/µs.
The PWM comparator uses the instantaneous current,
the error voltage, the internal reference, and the slope
compensation (MAX5014 only) to determine when to
switch the N-channel MOSFET off. In normal operation
the N-channel MOSFET turns off when:

26mV/µs (MAX5014 only). When using the MAX5014 in
a forward-converter configuration the following condi-
tion must be met to avoid control-loop subharmonic
oscillations:
where k = 0.75 to 1, and N
turns on the secondary and primary side of the trans-
former, respectively. L is the output filter inductor. This
makes the output inductor current downslope as refer-
enced across R
tion. The controller responds to transients within one
cycle when this condition is met.
NDRV drives an N-channel MOSFET. NDRV sources
and sinks large transient currents to charge and dis-
charge the MOSFET gate. To support such switching
transients, bypass V
average current as a result of switching the MOSFET is
the product of the total gate charge and the operating
frequency. It is this current plus the DC quiescent cur-
rent that determines the total operating current.
The following is a general procedure for designing a
forward converter (Figure 2) using the MAX5015.
The circuit in Figure 2 was designed as follows:
1) 36V ≤ V
2) To set the output voltage calculate the values of
SCOMP
1) Determine the requirements.
2) Set the output voltage.
3) Calculate the transformer primary to secondary
4) Calculate the reset to primary winding turns ratio.
5) Calculate the tertiary to primary winding turns
6) Calculate the current-sense resistor value.
7) Calculate the output inductor value.
8) Select the output capacitor.
