3.Working Principle

The MAX5094DAUA+ is a DC/DC switching controller that utilizes a voltage-mode control (VMC) and current-mode control (CMC) for single-output buck and boost converter applications. It operates in a pulse width modulation (PWM) scheme to meet the needs of modern applications.

For VMC, this controller works by converting the input signal (i.e. AC voltage) into a PWM signal, which is then used to control the output voltage of the buck or boost converter. This allows for the output voltage to be precisely regulated, regardless of changes in the input signal.

For CMC, the controller works by monitoring the current flowing through the inductor of the converter and using this information to determine the pulse width modulation (PWM) period, which in turn controls the output voltage of the converter. This allows for the output voltage to be precisely regulated, depending on the load conditions of the converter.

The MAX5094DAUA+ also has integrated frequency fold-back, adjustable dead time and programmable soft-start time for better control of the buck/boost converter, as well as improved efficiency and EMI performance.
