How to Use the MAX15005 Curren

Abstract: This reference design shows how to use a MAX15005 automoTIve power-supply controller as a boost circuit to maintain a constant voltage during an automoTIve cold-crank condiTIon.

IntroducTIonWhen an automotive engine remains in a cold climate or is subjected to freezing temperatures for a long time, the engine oil becomes very viscous. In cold temperatures the battery's internal resistance also increases from its normal value. If the engine is started during that time, the starter motor needs more torque, which draws more current from the battery. Due to transients in the current requirement and high-series resistance, the battery voltage can drop as low as 2.5V. This is known as the cold-crank condition in automotives .

The MAX15005 is a current-mode controller that operates from 4.5V to 40V. The device can manage cold-crank conditions and a load-dump condition as well. Once powered, the MAX15005 operates down to 2.5V, thus accommodating a further drop in the battery voltage.

This reference design shows a solution for a cold crank in automotive applications. The design includes the complete schematic, bill of materials (BOM), efficiency measurements, and test results.

Specifications and Design SetupThe design uses the following specifications: Input voltage: 2.5V to 18V Output voltage: 12V Output current: 1A Output ripple: ± 0.6V Input ripple: ± 15mV Efficiency: 75% with cold crank> 90% for normal operation Switching frequency: 200kHz The schematic for the above specifications is shown in Figure 1.
