Product details
Overview
MAX17693BATC+T from Maxim Integrated is a 4.2V–60V no-opto isolated flyback converter with integrated 76V/245mΩ nMOSFET, fixed-frequency peak current mode control, and primary-side output voltage regulation. It delivers up to 1.4W output power, supports programmable 100kHz–350kHz switching, and enables compact industrial power supplies for PLC I/O modules and IGBT gate drive supplies.
For engineers reviewing the MAX17693BATC+T datasheet, MAX17693BATC+T pinout, MAX17693BATC+T application, or MAX17693BATC+T equivalent, key selection considerations include primary-side sensing architecture, EN/UVLO threshold programmability (1.215V typ), external loop compensation capability, temperature-compensated diode forward-voltage handling, and TDFN-EP 3mm × 3mm package thermal performance (θJA = 41°C/W on multilayer board).
Technical Context
The MAX17693BATC+T implements primary-side sensing via reflected flyback waveform sampling during secondary rectifier conduction-eliminating optocoupler and secondary error amplifier. Its internal error amplifier features external compensation (COMP pin), enabling precise loop tuning for varying transformer parasitics and load dynamics.
It uses fixed-frequency peak current mode control with programmable RT resistor setting, supports frequency synchronization via SYNC/DITHER pin, and integrates temperature compensation for output diode VF drift using TC/VCM pin bias (0.55V at 25°C, +1.85mV/°C). Hiccup-mode overcurrent protection triggers after 16384 cycles with 0.543A typical peak current limit.

FAQ
What is the key functional difference between MAX17693BATC+T and MAX17693AATC+T?
The MAX17693BATC+T provides external loop compensation via the COMP pin, enabling custom stability tuning for diverse transformer designs, while the MAX17693AATC+T uses internal compensation and adds an OVI pin for input overvoltage protection. The MAX17693BATC+T is selected when loop optimization is critical and OVI is not required-making MAX17693BATC+T ideal for flexible, high-performance industrial flyback implementations where MAX17693BATC+T's COMP pin enables precise transient response tailoring.
Does MAX17693BATC+T require an optocoupler for output regulation?
No, the MAX17693BATC+T uses primary-side sensing to sample the reflected flyback voltage at the LX pin during secondary diode conduction, eliminating the need for an optocoupler or secondary-side error amplifier. This architecture reduces component count, improves reliability, and saves PCB space-confirmed in the MAX17693BATC+T datasheet's "No-Opto Flyback Operation" section, where MAX17693BATC+T achieves ±3% output regulation accuracy without optical feedback.
How is the switching frequency programmed on MAX17693BATC+T?
The switching frequency of MAX17693BATC+T is set by connecting a resistor RRT from the RT pin to GND, using RRT (kΩ) = 107 / fSWRT (kHz). Leaving RT open defaults to 200kHz. Frequency accuracy is ±6% across temperature and line, and MAX17693BATC+T supports synchronization to external clocks between 1.10× and 1.32× the nominal fSW, ensuring predictable timing in multi-converter systems where MAX17693BATC+T operates.
What is the purpose of the TC/VCM pin on MAX17693BATC+T?
The TC/VCM pin on MAX17693BATC+T serves dual functions: selecting internal common-mode voltage range and enabling temperature compensation for the output rectifier diode's forward voltage drop. It sources a PTAT current (0.55V bias at 25°C, +1.85mV/°C) into the SET node to offset VF drift-improving output regulation stability across −40°C to +125°C. This feature is unique to MAX17693BATC+T among Rainier-series variants and is essential for precision industrial supplies where MAX17693BATC+T's thermal behavior directly impacts output accuracy.
What protection features does MAX17693BATC+T include?
MAX17693BATC+T integrates hiccup-mode overcurrent protection (16384-cycle timeout), thermal shutdown at 160°C (10°C hysteresis), programmable EN/UVLO (1.215V turn-on), and optional frequency foldback for light-load efficiency. Unlike the MAX17693A variant, it omits OVI protection-but retains all core fault responses critical for industrial reliability. These protections ensure safe operation during startup, overload, and ambient extremes-validated in MAX17693BATC+T's absolute maximum ratings and electrical characteristics tables.
