MAX258 Datasheet (Maxim Integrated) - Push-Pull Transformer Driver

MAX258, Push-Pull Transformer Driver

The MAX258 is a 500mA, push-pull transformer driver designed to provide a simple solution for isolated power supplies.

The IC has an internal oscillator and operates from a single +3.0V to +5.5V supply.

The transformer’s secondary-to-primary winding ratio defines the output voltage, allowing selecti

MAX258 Features

* an integrated oscillator driving a pair of n-channel power switches. Internal circuitry guarantees a fixed 50% duty cycle to prevent DC current flow through the transformer. The IC operates with up to 500mA of continuous current and features undervoltage lockout and thermal shutdown. The IC includes
