MAX5940A/MAX5940B
To adjust the UVLO threshold (MAX5940B only), con-
nect an external resistor-divider from GND to UVLO
and from UVLO to V
EE
. Use the following equations to
calculate R1 and R2 for a desired UVLO threshold:
R1 = 25.5k
Ω - R2
where V
IN,EX
is the desired UVLO threshold. Since the
resistor-divider replaces the 25.5k
Ω PD detection resis-
tor, ensure that the sum of R1 and R2 equals 25.5k
Ω
±1%. When using the external resistor-divider, the
MAX5940B has an external reference voltage hystere-
sis of 20% (typ). When UVLO is programmed external-
ly, the turn-off threshold is 80% (typ) of the new UVLO
threshold.
