FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
1. Major Functions
(1) Reference voltage power circuit
The ref erence v oltage po wer supply produces a ref e rence v oltage ( 2.50 V) which is temperature-compensated b y the v oltage
supplied from the power pin (pin 11); it is used as the IC internal circuit operating power supply.
The reference voltage can also be output externally at 1 mA from VREF pin (pin12).
(2) Error amplifier
The error amplifier detects the s witching regulator output voltage and outputs a PWM control signal. It has a wide in-phase input
voltage range of -0.2 V to VCC - 1.8 V to make setting from an external powe r supply easy.
Connecting the output pin and inversion input pin of the error amplifier through a f eedback resistor and capacitor allows setting
of any loop gain to provide stable phase compensation.
(3) PWM comparator
The PWM comparator controls the output pulse ON time according to the input voltage.
The voltage input to the -IN pin (PWM) turns the output transistor on when it is lower than the output v oltage of the error amplifier.
(4) Output circuit
The output circuit is configured in a push-pull f orm and uses a PNP transistor drive system to driv e a transistor of up to 30 mA.
(See
How to Set Output Current.
)
2. Channel Control Function
Channels can be set ON/OFF by combining the voltage levels at pin CTL1 (pin 13) and pin CTL2 (pin 14).

3. Protection Functions
(1) Timer and latch-type short-circuit protection circuit
The SCP comparator detects the output v oltage le v els of two comparators to detect an output short circuit. If the output voltage
of one comparator increases to 2.1 V, the transistor of the timer circuit is tur ned off and the shor t circuit protection capacitor
connected externally to the SCP pin (pin 15) starts charging.
The latch circuit turns off the output transistor and sim ultaneously clears the duty cycle to 0 when the output v oltage le v el o f the
comparator does not return to the normal voltage le v el until the capacitor v oltage rises to the base-emitter junction v oltage VBE
( 0.65 V) of the transistor. (See
How to Set Time Constant for Timer & Latch-Type Short-Circuit Protection Circuit.
)
When the protection circuit operates, recycle the power to reset the circuit.
(2) Low input voltage malfunction fail-safe circuit
A transient at power-on, or an instantaneous supply voltage drop can cause a control IC malfunction, which may damage the
system. The low input voltage malfunction fail-safe circuit detects the internal reference voltage level based on the supply v oltage
le vel, resets the latch circuit, turns off the output transistor , clears the duty cycle to 0 and holds the SCP pin (pin 15) at Low le v el.
All circuits are recovered when the supply voltage is greater than the threshold voltage of the fail-safe circuit.

HOW TO SET OUTPUT CURRENT
The output circuit is configured in a push-pull type as shown in Figure 1. The ON current v alue of the output current w a v eform shown in Figure
2 is a constant current and the OFF value set by RE is set by a time constant. Each output current can be calculated from the following expression:
ON current = 1.5/RE (A) (Output current setting pin voltage: VE 1.5 V)
The OFF current time constant is proportional to the value of CB.

HOW TO SET TIME CONSTANT FOR TIMER & LATCH-TYPE SHORT-CIRCUIT
PROTECTION CIRCUIT
If the load conditions of the switching regulator are stable, the outputs of comparators 1 and 2 do not change, so the SP comparator outputs a
High level. At this time, the SCP pin (pin 15) is held at about 50 mV.
If the load conditions change suddenly due to a load short-circuit, for example, the output voltage of the comparator of the channel becomes a
High-le v el signal (more than 2.1 V). Then, the SVP compar ator outputs a Lo w le vel and transistor Q1 is turned off. The short-circuit protection
capacitor CPE externally connected to the SCP pin starts to charge.
VPE = 50 mV + tPE × 10-6/CPE
0.65 = 50 mV + tPE × 10-6/CPE
CPE = tPE /0.6 (s)
Once the capacitor CPE is charged to about 0.65 V, the SR latch is set and the output drive transistor is turned off. At this time, the duty cycle
is made low and the output voltage of the SCP pin (pin 15) is held at Low level. This closes the SR latch input to discharge CPE.

PROCESSING WITHOUT USING SCP PIN
If the timer and latch-type short-circuit protection circuit is not used, connect the SCP pin (pin 15) to GND as close as possible. Also, connect
the input pin of each channel comparator to the VCC pin (pin 11).

EQUIVALENT SERIES RESISTANCE OF SMOOTHING CAPACIT OR AND STABILITY OF
DC/DC CONVERTER
The equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the smoothing capacity in a DC/DC converter has a great effect on the loop phase characteristics.
The ESR causes a small delay at the capacitor with a ser ies resistance of 0 (Figures 8 and 9), thus improving system stability. On the other
hand, using a smoothing capacitor with a low ESR reduces system stability . Therefore, attention should be paid to using semiconductor electrolytic
capacitors (such as OS capacitors) or tantalum capacitors with a low ESP. (Phase margin reduction by using an OS capacitor is explained on
the next page.)

The phase margin is halved by changing the smoothing capacitor from an aluminum electrolytic capacitor (Rc = 1.0 ) to a semiconductor

PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not apply any voltage greater than the maximum rating, or the LSI may be damaged.
2. Use the MB3788 under the recommended operating conditions.
If a voltage greater than the maximum voltage is applied, the electrical characteristics are not guaranteed; if a voltage smaller than the
minimum voltage is applied, the LSI operation will become unstable.
3. To ground the PC board, use the thic kest cab le possib le because high frequencies are used which can easily produce high-frequency noise.
4. Connecting unused channel pin
For unused channels, the output voltage of the comparator for detecting a short-circuit must be fixed at the Low level.
5. Take measures against static electricity.
Carry semiconductors in a conductive container or anti-static case.
Carry the PC board in a conductive bag or container if it is stored or transported after packaging.
Ground the workbench, and all tools and measuring instruments.
Workers should be grounded through a resistance of 250 k to 1 M.
