Wide-Input-Range, Synchronizable, PWM SLIC Power Supply
General Description
The MAX1856 offers a low-cost solution for generating a
SLIC (ringer and off-hook) power supply. Using standard
off-the-shelf transformers from multiple vendors, the
MAX1856 generates various output voltages: -24V and
-72V (dual output) for both ringer and off-hook supplies for
voice-enabled broadband consumer premises equipment
(CPE), -48V for IP phones and routers, -5V and -15V (sin-
gle or dual output) for DSL CO line drivers, or negative
voltages as high as -185V for MEMS bias supplies. The
output voltages are adjusted with an external voltage
divider.
Due to its wide operating voltage range, the MAX1856
operates from a low-cost, unregulated DC power supply
for cost-sensitive applications like xDSL, cable modems,
set-top boxes, LMDS, MMDS, WLL, and FTTH CPE. The
MAX1856 provides low audio-band noise for talk battery
and a sturdy output capable of handling the ring trip con-
ditions for ring battery.
The operating frequency can be set between 100kHz and
500kHz with an external resistor in free-running mode. For
noise-sensitive applications, the MAX1856’s operating fre-
quency can be synchronized to an external clock over its
operating frequency range.
The flyback topology allows operation close to 50% duty
cycle, offering high transformer utilization, low ripple cur-
rent, and less stress on input and output capacitors.
Internal soft-start minimizes startup stress on the input
capacitor, without any external components.
The MAX1856’s current-mode control scheme does not
require external loop compensation. The low-side current-
sense resistor provides accurate current-mode control
and overcurrent protection.

Detailed Description
The MAX1856 current-mode PWM controller uses an
inverting flyback configuration that is ideal for generat-
ing the high negative voltages required for SLIC power
supplies. Optimum conversion efficiency is maintained
over a wide range of loads by employing both PWM
operation and Maxim’s proprietary Idle Mode control to
minimize operating current at light loads. Other features
include shutdown, adjustable internal operating fre-
quency or synchronization to an external clock, soft-
start, adjustable current limit, and a wide (3V to 28V)
input range.
PWM Controller
The heart of the MAX1856 current-mode PWM con-
troller is a BiCMOS multi-input comparator that simulta-
neously processes the output-error signal, the
current-sense signal, and a slope-compensation ramp
(Figure 2). The main PWM comparator is direct sum-
ming, lacking a traditional error amplifier and its associ-
ated phase shift. The direct-summing configuration
approaches ideal cycle-by-cycle control over the out-
put voltage since there is no conventional error amplifi-
er in the feedback path.
In PWM mode, the controller uses fixed-frequency, cur-
rent-mode operation where the duty ratio is set by the
input-to-output voltage ratio and the transformer’s turn
ratio. The current-mode feedback loop regulates peak
inductor current as a function of the output error signal.
At light loads, the controller enters Idle Mode. During
Idle Mode, switching pulses are provided only as nec-
essary to supply the load, and operating current is min-
imized to provide the best light-load efficiency. The
minimum-current comparator threshold is 15mV, or
15% of the full-load value (IMAX) of 100mV. When the
controller is synchronized to an external clock, Idle
Mode occurs only at very light loads.

PINNAMEFUNCTION
1LDO5V Linear Regulator Output. The regulator powers all of the internal circuitry, including the EXT gate
driver. Bypass LDO to GND with a 1µF or greater ceramic capacitor.FREQ
Oscillator Frequency Set Input. A resistor from FREQ to GND sets the oscillator from 100kHz (ROSC =
500kΩ) to 500kHz (ROSC = 100kΩ): fOSC = 50MΩ-kHz / ROSC. The MAX1856 still requires ROSC when
an external clock is connected to SYNC/SHDN.GNDAnalog GroundREF1.25V Reference Output. REF can source up to 400µA. Bypass to GND with a 2.2µF ceramic capacitor.FBFeedback Input. The feedback voltage threshold is 0.CSPositive Current-Sense Input. Connect a current-sense resistor (RCS) between CS and PGND.PGNDPower GroundEXTExternal MOSFET Gate-Driver Output. EXT swings from LDO to PGND.
9VCCInput Supply to the Linear Regulator. VCC accepts inputs up to 28V. Bypass to PGND with a 1µF
ceramic capacitor.SYNC/SHDN
Shutdown Control and Synchronization Input. There are three operating modes:• SYNC/SHDN low: shutdown modeSYNC/SHDN high: the DC-to-DC controller operates with the oscillator frequency set at FREQ by
ROSCSYNC/SHDN clocked: the DC-to-DC controller operates with the oscillator frequency set by the SYNC
clock input. The conversion cycles initiate on the rising edge of the input clock signal. However, the
MAX1856 still requires ROSC when SYNC/SHDN is externally clocked.
Low-Dropout Regulator (LDO)
All MAX1856 functions, including EXT, are internally
powered from the on-chip, low-dropout 5V regulator.
The regulator input is at VCC, while its output is at LDO.
The VCC-to-LDO dropout voltage is typically 200mV
(300mV max at 12mA), so that when VCCis <5.2V,
VLDOis typically VCC- 200mV. When the LDO is in
dropout, the MAX1856 still operates with VCCas low as
3V (as long as the LDO exceeds 2.7V), but with
reduced amplitude FET drive at EXT. The maximum
VCCinput voltage is 28V.
LDO can supply up to 12mA to power the IC, supply
gate charge through EXT to the external FET, and sup-
ply small external loads. When driving particularly large
FETs at high switching rates, little or no LDO current
may be available for external loads. For example, when
switched at 500kHz, a large FET with 20nC gate charge
requires 20nC ✕500kHz, or 10mA.
Soft-Start
The MAX1856 features a “digital” soft-start that is pre-
set and requires no external capacitor. Upon startup,
the peak inductor current increments from 1/5th of the
value set by RCS, to the full current-limit value in five
steps over 1024 cycles of fOSCor fSYNC. Additionally,
the oscillator runs at 1/3 the normal operating frequen-
cy (fOSC/3) until the output voltage reaches 20% of its
nominal value (VFB≤1.0V). See the Typical Operating
Characteristicsfor a scope picture of the soft-start
operation. Soft-start is implemented: 1) when power is
first applied to the IC, 2) when exiting shutdown with
power already applied, and 3) when exiting undervolt-
age lockout. The MAX1856’s soft-start sequence does
not start until VLDOreaches 2.5V.
Design Procedure
The MAX1856 can operate within a wide input voltage
range from 3V to 28V. This allows it to be used with wall
adapters. In applications driven by low-power, low-cost
and low input and output ripple current requirements,
the MAX1856 flyback topology can be used to gener-
ate various levels of output voltages and multiple out-
puts.
Communications over the Internet interface with a stan-
dard telephone connection, which includes the
Subscriber Line Interface Circuit (SLIC). The SLIC
requires a negative power supply for the audio and
ringer functions. The circuits discussed here are
