Product details
Overview
The MAX1856EUB+TG51 from Maxim Integrated is a wide-input-range, synchronizable current-mode PWM controller for SLIC (Subscriber Line Interface Circuit) power supplies, generating dual negative outputs (e.g., −24V and −72V) or single outputs (e.g., −48V, −5V, −15V, up to −185V), operating from 3V to 28V input, with adjustable 100kHz–500kHz switching frequency and internal soft-start. It targets voice-enabled broadband CPE including VoIP phones, DSL/cable modems, and FTTH equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1856EUB+TG51 datasheet, MAX1856EUB+TG51 pinout, MAX1856EUB+TG51 application, or MAX1856EUB+TG51 equivalent, key selection considerations include its flyback topology with idle mode efficiency optimization, −24V/−72V dual-output capability, 10-pin µMAX package, low audio-band noise on talk battery, and external clock synchronization support for EMI-sensitive designs.
Technical Context
The MAX1856EUB+TG51 implements a current-mode PWM control architecture with direct-summing comparator eliminating traditional error amplifier phase shift, enabling cycle-by-cycle output voltage regulation via peak inductor current control. Its inverting flyback configuration supports high negative voltage generation while maintaining stable cross-regulation between dual outputs.
It integrates an internal 5V LDO regulator (2.7V–5.5V output, 12mA max), reference (1.25V ±25mV), and logic-level shutdown/sync input (VIH = 2.0V, VIL = 0.45V). Idle Mode™ reduces quiescent current at light loads, with switchover threshold set at 15mV CS voltage (15% of full-scale 100mV current limit).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 28V - enables use with unregulated wall adapters and cost-sensitive DC supplies in xDSL, cable modems, and set-top boxes. |
| Output Voltage Range | Adjustable negative outputs up to −185V - supports MEMS bias, DSL CO line drivers, and SLIC ringer/off-hook supplies via external resistor divider. |
| Switching Frequency | 100kHz to 500kHz (set by ROSC) or synchronized externally - allows EMI optimization and transformer size reduction. |
| Current Limit Threshold | 85mV to 115mV at CS pin - provides accurate overcurrent protection with external sense resistor, independent of temperature and supply variation. |
| LDO Output | 5.00V ±0.5V (at 400Ω load) - powers internal circuitry and EXT gate driver; dropout ≤300mV at 12mA ensures operation down to VCC = 3V. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.250V ±25mV (REF to FB) - enables precise output voltage setting with <0.013%/mV load regulation on feedback path. |
| Shutdown Current | 3.5µA to 6µA at VCC = 28V - minimizes system standby power in life-line support applications. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX1856EUB+TG51 is housed in a 10-pin µMAX package (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch), thermally enhanced with exposed PGND pad for improved power dissipation in compact CPE designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LDO (Pin 1) | Internal 5V LDO output | Powers all internal blocks and EXT gate driver; requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass to GND for stability. |
| FREQ (Pin 2) | Oscillator frequency set input | Connects to GND via ROSC (100kΩ–500kΩ) to set fOSC = 50MΩ-kHz / ROSC; required even when SYNC/SHDN is clocked. |
| GND (Pin 3) | Analog ground reference | Provides low-noise return for REF, FB, and CS; must be separated from PGND except at single-point Kelvin sense location. |
| REF (Pin 4) | 1.25V precision reference output | Sources up to 400µA; used with FB to set output voltage; requires 2.2µF ceramic bypass for regulation integrity. |
| FB (Pin 5) | Feedback input (0V threshold) | Accepts resistive divider from output(s); zero-volt threshold simplifies dual-output feedback design with split resistor networks. |
| CS (Pin 6) | Positive current-sense input | Monitors voltage across external RCS; 85–115mV threshold enables accurate peak-current limiting and overcurrent protection. |
| PGND (Pin 7) | Power ground | High-current return for EXT driver and MOSFET source; connects to GND only at Kelvin sense point near RCS. |
| EXT (Pin 8) | External MOSFET gate driver | Swings rail-to-rail between LDO and PGND; drives N-channel FET; capable of >1A peak sink/source current. |
| VCC (Pin 9) | Main supply input | Accepts 3V–28V unregulated input; powers LDO input; requires 1µF ceramic bypass to PGND. |
| SYNC/SHDN (Pin 10) | Shutdown control & sync input | Logic-low = shutdown (3.5–6µA ICC); logic-high = free-running at ROSC; rising edge = sync mode (100–500kHz range). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Idle Mode™ Control | Reduces operating current at light loads by pulsing only as needed-enables >80% efficiency at 10% load in −48V/200mA applications. |
| Internal Soft-Start | Digital soft-start (no external capacitor) ramps peak current in 5 steps over 1024 cycles and holds fOSC at 1/3 rate until VOUT reaches 20%-prevents inrush stress on input capacitors. |
| Current-Mode PWM | Direct-summing comparator eliminates error amplifier phase lag-provides inherent cycle-by-cycle regulation and stable cross-regulation across dual outputs without external compensation. |
| Low Audio-Band Noise | Optimized switching behavior and internal filtering minimize noise in 300Hz–3.4kHz band-ensures clean talk battery for voice-grade SLIC performance. |
| Ring Trip Transient Handling | Sturdy output stage and fast transient response maintain regulation during abrupt ring trip events-critical for reliable ringer battery operation in VoIP and CPE. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SLIC power supply applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1857EUB+ | Same pinout and function but rated for −40°C to +125°C industrial temp range; identical electrical specs and package. | Required for extended-temperature CPE deployed in outdoor enclosures or uncontrolled environments. | Select MAX1857EUB+ when ambient operating temperature exceeds +85°C; otherwise MAX1856EUB+TG51 is optimal for commercial CPE. |
| LM5020MMX/NOPB | Fixed-frequency current-mode PWM controller (no LDO, no REF, no Idle Mode); requires external 5V bias and separate reference; 100kHz–1MHz range. | Used in non-SLIC isolated flyback designs where dual negative outputs and low audio-band noise are not required. | Choose LM5020MMX/NOPB only if redesigning for higher frequency (>500kHz), lower cost, and no need for integrated LDO or SLIC-specific features like ring trip handling. |
Compared with MAX1857EUB+, the MAX1856EUB+TG51 offers identical functionality at lower cost for commercial-temperature CPE, while LM5020MMX/NOPB lacks integrated regulation and SLIC-optimized features-making it suitable only for generic isolated flyback, not voice-grade negative supply generation.

FAQ
What is the maximum negative output voltage achievable with the MAX1856EUB+TG51?
The MAX1856EUB+TG51 supports negative output voltages up to −185V, as confirmed in the General Description and Applications sections. This capability is achieved using standard off-the-shelf transformers and appropriate feedback resistor scaling-enabling use in MEMS bias supplies and other high-voltage negative rail applications. The MAX1856EUB+TG51 achieves this through its inverting flyback topology and precise 1.25V reference, not by internal voltage multiplication.
Does the MAX1856EUB+TG51 require external loop compensation components?
No, the MAX1856EUB+TG51 does not require external loop compensation. Its current-mode PWM architecture with direct-summing comparator eliminates the need for an external error amplifier and associated compensation network. Stability is inherently maintained across load and line variations, as verified in the Detailed Description section and functional diagram (Figure 2). This simplifies design and reduces BOM count for the MAX1856EUB+TG51.
How does the MAX1856EUB+TG51 handle ring trip transients in SLIC applications?
The MAX1856EUB+TG51 handles ring trip transients through a combination of robust output stage design, fast transient response (<1ms recovery per Typical Operating Characteristics), and optimized current-limit threshold (85–115mV). Its ability to sustain high peak currents and maintain regulation under abrupt load changes-demonstrated in the "RINGER TO TALK-BATTERY CROSSTALK" and "LOAD TRANSIENT" waveforms-is integral to SLIC compliance. This behavior is intrinsic to the MAX1856EUB+TG51's architecture.
Can the MAX1856EUB+TG51 generate both −24V and −72V simultaneously?
Yes, the MAX1856EUB+TG51 is explicitly designed for dual-output operation, with the Typical Operating Circuit (Figure 1) demonstrating simultaneous −24V (400mA max) and −72V (100mA max) generation. Cross-regulation is maintained within ±1.5% across load conditions, as shown in Figures toc02 and toc05. This dual-output capability is a core specification of the MAX1856EUB+TG51 and validated across temperature and input voltage ranges.
What is the purpose of the EXT pin on the MAX1856EUB+TG51?
Pin 8 (EXT) on the MAX1856EUB+TG51 is the external N-channel MOSFET gate driver output, swinging rail-to-rail between LDO (≈5V) and PGND. It delivers >1A peak current to drive the primary-side switch in the flyback converter. Its design enables efficient, low-loss switching with minimal external components-confirmed by the EXT sink/source current (1A) and on-resistance (2–5Ω) specifications in the Electrical Characteristics table for the MAX1856EUB+TG51.
