Adjustable-Output, Switch-Mode

Current Source with Synchronous Rectifier

_______________________________________________________________________________________

_______________Detailed Description

The MAX1640/MAX1641 switch-mode current sources

utilize a hysteretic, current-mode, step-down pulse-

width-modulation (PWM) topology with constant off-

time. Internal comparators control the switching

mechanism. These comparators monitor the current

through a sense resistor (RSENSE) and the voltage at

TERM. When inductor current reaches the current limit

[(VCS+ - VCS-) / RSENSE], the P-channel FET turns off

and the N-channel FET synchronous rectifier turns on.

Inductor energy is delivered to the load as the current

ramps down. This ramp rate depends on RTOFF and

inductor values. When off-time expires, the P-channel

FET turns back on and the N-channel FET turns off.

Two digital inputs, D0 and D1, select between four pos-

sible current levels (Table 1). In pulse-trickle mode, the

part operates for 12.5% of the period set by RTOFF,

resulting in a lower current for pulse-trickle charging.

See the Functional Diagram. Figures 1a and 1b show

the standard application circuits.

Charge Mode: Programming the

Output Currents

The sense resistor, RSENSE, sets two charging current

levels. Choose between these two levels by holding

D0 high, and toggling D1 either high or low (Table 1).

The fast-charge current level equals VCS / RSENSE

where VCS is the full-scale current-sense voltage of

150mV. Alternatively, calculate this current by VREF /

(13.3RSENSE). The top-off current equals VSET /

(13.3RSENSE). A resistor-divider from REF to GND pro-

grams the voltage at SET (Figure 2).
