GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The CM3842/43 are fixed frequency current-mode PWM
controllers specially designed for OFF-Line switching
power supply and DC-to-DC converters with a minimum
number of external components. These devices feature
a trimmed oscillator for precise duty cycle control, a
temperature compensated reference, high gain error
amplifier, current sensing comparator, and high current
totem pole output which is suitable for driving
MOSFETs.
The under voltage lock-out (U.V.L.O.) is designed to
operated with 200
μ
A typ. start-up current, allowing an
efficient bootstrap supply voltage design. The U.V.L.O.
thresholds for the CM3842 are 16V (on) and 10V (off)
which
are
ideal
for
off-line
corresponding typical threshold for the CM3843 are
8.4V (on) and 7.6V (off). The CM3842/43 can operated
within 100% duty cycle.
