The LM384xA are fixed frequency current-mode PWM controller. They are specially designed for Off-Line and
DC-to-DC converter applications with minimal external components.
These integrated circuits features a trimmed oscillator for precise duty cycle control, a temperature
compensated reference, high gain error amplifier, current sensing comparator, and a high current
totempole output ideally suited for driving a power MOSFET.
Protection circuitry includes built in under-voltage lockout and current limiting.

High peak currents associated with capacitive loads necessitate careful grounding techniques
Timing and bypass capacitors should be connected close to pin 5 in a single point ground.
The transistor and 5KΩ potentiometer are used to sample the oscillator waveform and apply an
adjustable ramp to pin 3.

During Under-Voltage Lock-Out, the output driver is biased to a high impedance state.
Pin 6 should be shunted to ground with a bleeder resistor to prevent activating the power switch

SHUTDOWN
TO CURRENT
SENSE-RESISTOR
Shutdown of the LM3842A can be accomplished by two methods; either raise pin 3 above 1V or
pull pin 1 below a voltage two diode drops above ground. Either method causes the output of the
PWM comparator to be high (refer to block diagram). The PWM latch is reset dominant so that
the output will remain low until the next clock cycle after the shoutdown condition at pins 1 and/or 3
is removed. In one example, an externally latched shutdown may be accomplished by adding an
SCR which will be reset by cycling VCC below the lower UVLO threshold. At this point the
reference turns off, allowing the SCR to reset.

A fraction of the oscillator ramp can be resistively summed with the current sense signal to
provide slope compensation for converters requiring duty cycles over 50%.
Note that capacitor, C, forms a filter with R2 to suppress the leading edge switch spikes.

Function
Description
Compensation This pin is the Error Amplifier output and is made available for loop
compensation.
Voltage
This is the inverting input of the Error Amplitier. It is normally connected
Feedback
to the switching power supply output through a resister divider.
Current Sense A voltage proportional to inductor current is connected to this input.
The PWM uses this information to terminate the output switch conduction.
RT/CT
The Oscillator frequency and maximum Output duty cycle are
programmed by connecting resistor RT to VREF and capacitor CT
to ground. Operation to 500kHz is possible.
GND
This pin is the combined control circuitry and power ground.
Output
This output directly drives the gate of a power MOSFET. Peak currents
up to 1.0A are sourced and sunk by this pin.
Vcc
This pin is the positive supply of the control IC.
VREF
This is the reference output. It provides charging current for capacitor
CT through resistor RT.
