age. In addition, include in the calculations an

allowance for worst-case losses in the rectifiers. Since

the turns ratio determined in this manner will ordinarily

produce a much higher voltage at the secondary under

conditions of high input voltage and/or light loading, be

careful to prevent an overvoltage condition from occur-

ring (see Output Voltage vs. Load Current in the

Typical

Operating Characteristics).

Transformers used with the MAX253 will ordinarily be

wound on high-permeability magnetic material. To min-

imize radiated noise, use common closed-magnetic-

path physical shapes (e.g., pot cores, toroids, E/I/U

cores). A typical core is the Philips 213CT050-3B7,

which is a toroid 0.190” in diameter and 0.05” thick.

For operation with this core at 5.5V maximum supply

voltage, the primary should have approximately 22

turns on each side of the center tap, or 44 turns total.

This will result in a nominal primary inductance of

approximately 832µH. The secondary can be scaled to

produce the required DC output.

Diode Selection

The MAX253’s high switching frequency demands

high-speed rectifiers. Schottky diodes are recom-

mended. Ensure that the Schottky diode average cur-

rent rating exceeds the load-current level. The 1N5817

is a good choice for through-hole applications, and the

NIEC* SB05W05C dual in an SOT-23 package is rec-

ommended for surface-mount applications. Use the

higher frequency setting to reduce ripple.

Output Filter Capacitor

In applications sensitive to output-ripple noise, the out-

put filter capacitor C2 should have a low effective

series resistance (ESR), and its capacitance should

remain fairly constant over temperature. Sprague 595D

surface-mount solid tantalum capacitors and Sanyo

OS-CON through-hole capacitors are recommended

due to their extremely low ESR. Capacitor ESR usually

rises at low temperatures, but OS-CON capacitors pro-

vide very low ESR below 0°C.

In applications where output ripple is not critical, a

0.1µF chip or ceramic capacitor is sufficient. Refer to

Table 4 for suggested capacitor suppliers. Use the

higher frequency setting to reduce ripple.

Input Bypass Capacitor

The input bypass capacitor C1 is not critical. Unlike

switching regulators, the MAX253’s supply current is

fairly constant, and is therefore less dependent on the

input bypass capacitor. A low-cost 0.1µF chip or

ceramic capacitor is normally sufficient for input

bypassing.
