All-Ceramic Capacitor Step-Down/Inverter Supplies +/-5V at 3A

Abstract: A MAX8538 dual synchronous buck controller supplies both +5V and -5V outputs at 3A. One controller operates as a synchronous recitifed step-down (buck) converter while the second controller runs a transformer driven inverter. The circuit also features soft start and soft stop.

This 1MHz all-ceramic capacitor design uses the MAX8538 dual synchronous buck controller to provide soft-start and soft-stop functions for the +5V and -5V rails at the same time. One controller output is configured as a synchronous buck converter to provide +5V @ 3A. The second buck controller is configured as a flyback inverter with a 1:1 transformer to provide -5V @ 3A.

The negative output voltage is controlled by a MAX4400 op-amp with an inverting gain of one-half. The op-amp is biased from the MAX8538's on-board 5V VL regulator. With the gain of -1/2 the op-amp output is within its range and within the common-mode range of the error amp.

The control gain of a buck converter is Vout / Vin = duty cycle. The control gain of a 1:1 flyback inverter is Vout / Vin = duty cycle / (1 - duty cycle), which increases with duty cycle. For a 1:1 flyback inverter, duty cycle = Vout / (Vin + Vout) = 5V / (10.8V + 5V) = 0.317. Then the extra control gain is 1 / (1 - 0.317) = 1.464. This extra gain is factored into the design equations for Type 3 compensation by reducing the designed cross-over frequency a factor of 1.464. The op-amp inverting gain is compensated by adjusting R23 without affecting the rest of the compensation network.

A MAX837 voltage monitor provides under-voltage lockout. The MAX8538 is turned on when Vin reaches 9.2V. R31 introduces 75mV of positive feedback (hysteresis) for noise-free switching to allow a clean soft-start and soft-stop with a low Vin slew-rate. Note that since the flyback inverter has discontinuous transformer current, getting the -5V soft-stop to be symmetric with the +5V rail will depend on the load on the -5V rail. Also the -5V side's discontinuous transformer current requires larger output filter capacitance than the +5V side.
