The advantages of current-mode control over voltage-
mode control are twofold. First, there is the feed-for-
ward characteristic brought on by the controller’s
ability to adjust for variations in the input voltage on a
cycle-by-cycle basis. Secondly, the stability require-
ments of the current-mode controller are reduced to
that of a single-pole system unlike the double pole in
voltage-mode control.
The MAX15000/MAX15001 use a current-mode control
loop where the output of the error amplifier (COMP) is
compared to the current-sense voltage at CS. When the
current-sense signal is lower than the noninverting
input of the PWM comparator, the output of the CPWM
comparator is low and the switch is turned on at each
clock pulse. When the current-sense signal is higher than
the inverting input of the CPWM, the output of the CPWM
comparator goes high and the switch is turned off.
The MAX15000/MAX15001 provide a UVLO/EN input.
The threshold for UVLO is 1.23V with 60mV hysteresis.
Before any operation can commence, the voltage on
UVLO/EN has to exceed 1.23V. The UVLO circuit keeps
the CPWM comparator, ILIM comparator, oscillator,
and output driver shut down to reduce current con-
sumption (see the Functional Diagram).
Use this UVLO/EN input to program the input-supply
start voltage. For example, a reasonable start voltage
for a 36V to 72V telecom range is usually 34V.
Calculate the resistor-divider values, R2 and R3 (see
Figure 1) by using the following formulas:

to minimize the voltage-drop error across R2 as a result

In addition to the externally programmable UVLO func-
tion offered in both the MAX15000 and MAX15001, the
MAX15000 includes an internal bootstrap UVLO that is
very useful when designing high-voltage power sup-
plies (see the Functional Diagram). This allows the
device to bootstrap itself during initial power-up. The
MAX15000 attempts to start when V
bootstrap UVLO threshold of 21.6V. During startup, the
UVLO circuit keeps the CPWM comparator, ILIM com-
parator, oscillator, and output driver shut down to
reduce current consumption. Once V
the UVLO circuit turns on the CPWM and ILIM com-
parators, the oscillator, and allows the output driver to
switch. If V

tor, and output driver returning the MAX15000 to the
low-current startup mode.
The MAX15001 starts up when the voltage at IN
exceeds 9.5V and the UVLO/EN input is greater than
1.23V. However, the MAX15000 requires that, in addi-
tion to meeting the specified startup conditions for the
MAX15001, the voltage at IN exceeds the bootstrap
UVLO threshold of 21.6V.
For the MAX15000, the voltage at IN is normally derived
from a tertiary winding of the transformer. However, at
startup there is no energy being delivered through the
transformer, hence, a special bootstrap sequence is
required. Figure 2 shows the voltages at IN and V
during startup. Initially, both V
the line voltage is applied, C1 charges through the
startup resistor, R1, to an intermediate voltage. At this
point, the internal regulator begins charging C2 (see
Figure 1). Only 50µA of the current supplied through R1
is used by the MAX15000, the remaining input current
charges C1 and C2. The charging of C2 stops when
the V
voltage across C1 continues rising until it reaches the
wake-up level of 21.6V. Once V
strap UVLO threshold, NDRV begins switching the
MOSFET and transfers energy to the secondary and
tertiary outputs. If the voltage on the tertiary output
builds to higher than 9.74V (the bootstrap UVLO lower
