Description
The 3842A(AM)/43A(AM)/44A(AM)/45A(AM) are fixed frequency current mode PWM controller. They are specially designed
for
OFF
Line and DC to DC converter applications with a minimal external components. Internally implemented circuits include a
trimmed
oscillator for precise duty cycle control, a temperature compensated reference, high gain error amplifier, current sensing comp
arator,
and a high current totempole output ideally suited for driving a power MOSFET. Protection circuitry includes built undervoltage
lockout
and current limiting. The 3842A(AM) and 3844A(AM) have UVLO thresholds of 16 V (on) and 10 V (off). The
corresponding
thresholds for the 3843A(AM)/45A(AM) are 8.4V (on) and 7.6V(off). The MIK3842A(AM) and MIK3843A(AM) can operate within 100% dut
y
cycle. The 3844A(AM) and UC3845A(AM) can operate within 50% duty cycle.
The 384XA(AM) has Start-Up Current 0.17mA (typ).

N Function Description
1 COMP This pin is the Error Amplifier output and is made for loop compensation.
2 V
FB
This is the inverting input of the Error Amplifier. It is normally connected to the switching power supply
output through a resistor divider.
3 I
SENSE
A voltage proportional to inductor current is connected to this input. The PWM uses this information to
terminate the output switch conduction.
4 R
T
/C
T
The oscillator frequency and maximum Output duty cycle are programmed by connecting resistor R
T
to V
ref
and capacitor C
T
to ground.
5 GROUND This pin is the combined control circuitry and power ground.
6 OUTPUT This output directly drives the gate of a power MOSFET. Peak currents up to 1A are sourced and sink by
this pin.
7 V
CC
This pin is the positive supply of the integrated circuit.
8
