MAX8520 General Description


The MAX8520/MAX8521 are designed to drive thermoelectric coolers (TECs) in space-constrained optical modules. Both devices deliver ±1.5A output current and control the TEC current to eliminate harmful current surges. On-chip FETs minimize external components and high switching frequency reduces the size of external components.

The MAX8520 and MAX8521 operate from a single supply and bias the TEC between the outputs of two synchronous
buck regulators. This operation allows for temperature control without "dead zones" or other nonlinearities at low current. This arrangement ensures that the control system does not hunt when the set point is very close to the natural operating point, requiring a small amount of heating or cooling. An analog control signal precisely sets the TEC current.

Both devices feature accurate, individually adjustable heating current limit and cooling current limit, along with maximum TEC voltage limit to improve the reliability of optical modules. An analog output signal monitors the TEC current. A unique ripple cancellation scheme helps reduce noise.

The MAX8520 is available in a 5mm x 5mm thin QFN package and its switching frequency is adjustable up to 1MHz through an external resistor. The MAX8521 is also available in a 5mm x 5mm thin QFN, as well as a spacesaving 3mm x 3mm UCSP™, with a pin-selectable switching frequency of 500kHz or 1MHz.

Stresses beyond those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating  onditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 1: LX has internal clamp diodes to PGND and PVDD. Applications that forward bias these diodes should take care not to exceed the IC's package power dissipation limits.


Note 2: Solder underside metal slug to PC board ground plane.
