The MAX17595 is optimized for implementing an offline
single-switch flyback converter and has a 20V V
wake-up level with hysteresis of 15V (min). In offline
applications, a simple cost-effective RC startup circuit is
used. When the input DC voltage is applied, the startup
resistor (R
causing the voltage at the V

the MAX17595 draws a low startup current of 20FA (typ)
through R

es switching and control operations. In this condition, the
MAX17595 draws 2mA (typ) current from C
internal operation. In addition, the gate-drive current is
also drawn from C
charge of the external MOSFET used and switching fre-
quency. Since this total current cannot be supported by
the current through R
starts to drop. When suitably configured, as shown
in
NDRV pin and the flyback converter generates pulses
on bias winding NB. The soft-start period of the con-
verter should be programmed so the bias winding
pulses sustain the voltage on C
below 7V, thus allowing continued operation. The large
hysteresis of the MAX17595 allows for a small startup
capacitor (C
allows the use of a large startup resistor (R
reducing power dissipation at higher DC bus voltages.
