The devices have supply voltage and feedback inputs separated from the output shunt stage, and can operate directly from the DC-to-DC converter output stage when the output voltage is 1.8V to 18V. Alternately, the MAX8515A/MAX8515 input stage can be biased from an unregulated 1.7V to 28V supply, independent of DC-to-DC converter output voltage. The MAX8515A/MAX8515 shunts 20mA when the output voltage is as low as 0.2V.

Detailed Description The MAX8515A/MAX8515 adjustable shunt regulators feature isolated supply inputs and outputs, ideal for isolated power-supply applications using an optocoupler in the feedback path. The MAX8515A/MAX8515 sink 20mA with VOUT at 0.2V. The wide input supply range allows the device to operate from 1.7V to 28V. The MAX8515A/ MAX8515 compare the FB input to a precision 600mV reference. If the FB input is low, OUT sinks no current. If FB rises above 600mV, OUT sinks up to 20mA. Applications Information Shunt Regulator/Adjustable Voltage Reference Figure 1 shows the MAX8515A/MAX8515 configured as a shunt regulator. Connect FB to OUT for an output voltage of 0.6V. Connect a 1.0F capacitor from OUT to GND 4 when the output voltage is 0.6V. A resistor-divider connected from OUT to GND produces higher output voltages and allows for a smaller output capacitor. The value of the output capacitor is inversely proportional to the output voltage: R1 VOUT = 0.6 x 1 + R2 0.6 COUT = 1F x VOUT Set the current limit with a resistor connected from IN to OUT. This type of shunt regulator is limited to low-current applications. The MAX8515A/MAX8515 can typically sink up to 20mA in this application. Figure 2 shows the test circuits for gain and phase plots. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Wide-Input 0.6V Shunt Regulators for Isolated DC-to-DC Converters MAX8515A/MAX8515 5.6V VIN 1.8V R3 IN C1 0.1F 1k R1 C2 1.0F PGND FB R2 IN VIN (V) R3 () 135 3.3 470 10 1.33k 28 TEST 2.2nF VOUT = 0.6V TEST CIRCUIT R1 = SHORT R2 = OPEN OUT MAX8515A MAX8515 GND 3.3V VOUT 0.6V/20mA 1M OUT 0.82F 0.1F MAX8515A MAX8515 50k PGND GND NETWORK ANALYZER SOURCE FB 2.2nF REFERENCE 1M Figure 1.

Values for R3 and R4 are chosen based on the needed OVP threshold. For example, a trip threshold of 25% above the rated output voltage is needed for an OVP circuit. The values of R3 can be determined from the following equation once R4 is chosen; 10k is recommended for R4. Then, R3 = 6.2k. R2 C4 where VOVP = 0.8V x 1.25 for the given example.
