MAXREFDES115A#

The MAXREFDES115A# is an evaluation board for offline switching mode power supply (SMPS). It is an AC to DC device with both 12V and 5V outputs. This evaluation board is designed to evaluate the performance and features of the MAXREFDES115A# SMPS controller. The MAXREFDES115A# offers a high degree of flexibility with a wide range of power supply settings for both the 12V and 5V outputs.

The MAXREFDES115A# operates on the principle of pulse-width modulation (PWM), where the output voltage is regulated by the duty cycle of a high frequency voltage source. The duty cycle is determined by PWM comparison of the output voltage with an internal reference voltage. When the output voltage is higher than the reference voltage, the duty cycle is reduced to reduce the output voltage. Similarly, when the output voltage is lower than the reference voltage the duty cycle is increased to increase the output voltage.

The MAXREFDES115A# evaluation board contains several features, such as over-voltage protection, short circuit protection, and such, that increase the safety when operating the system. Additionally, the evaluation board also offers an onboard potentiometer which allows users to adjust the output voltage according to their particular needs. In addition, the MAXREFDES115A# provides two separate adjustment options for each output voltage. The first adjust sets the maximum limit of each output voltage and the second adjust is used to fine tune the output voltage.

The MAXREFDES115A# has several potential applications, such as in consumer electronics, industrial equipment, transportation systems, and such. Additionally, this evaluation board can be used to design and evaluate custom power supplies for specialized applications, such as medical equipment. The MAXREFDES115A# can also be used to design and evaluate the performance of switching power supplies with a wide range of input voltage and load current settings.

In conclusion, the MAXREFDES115A# is an evaluation board for off-line switching mode power supplies (SMPS). It offers a wide range of power supply settings for both the 12V and 5V outputs, allowing users to customize their power supplies for their particular needs. The MAXREFDES115A# also provides a high degree of flexibility with features such as over-voltage protection, short circuit protection, and more. Lastly, the evaluation board is ideal for use in the development and evaluation of power supplies in consumer electronics, industrial equipment, transportation systems, and other specialized applications.
