OPERATING DESCRIPTION
GM3842A, GM3843A, GM3844A and GM3845A are high performance with fixed frequency, current mode
controllers. They are designed for off-ine and DC-to-DC converter applications offering great versatility with
minimal external components. A representative block diagram is shown on page 4.
Oscillator
The oscillator frequency is determined by the values of the timing components RT and CT. Capacitor CT is
charged from the 5.0 V reference through resistor RT to approximately 2.8 V and discharged to 1.2 V by an
internal current sink. During the of CT, the oscillator generates an internal blanking pulse that holds the center
input of the NOR gate high. This causes the output to be in a low state, thus producing a controlled amount of
Figure 2 show RT versus oscillator frequency and Figure 2, Output deadtime versus frequency, both for given
values of CT output deadtime.
Note that different values of RT and CT will give the same oscillator frequency, but only one combination will yield
a specific output deadtime at a given frequency. The oscillator thresholds are temperature compensated. These
interned circuit vefinements minimizes refinements of oscillator frequency and maximum output duty cycle. In
many noise sensitive applications, it may be desirable to frequency-lock the converter to an external system
clock. This can be accmplished by applying a clock signal to the circuit shown in Figure 9. For best locking
results, set the free-unning oscillator frequency to about 10% less than the clock frequency. A method for multi
unit synchronization is shown in Figure 10. You can get very accurate output duty cycle clamping by tweaking the
clock waveform.
Error Amplifier
GM3842A, GM3843A, GM3844A, GM3845A
GM384XA series has a fully compensated error amplifier with access to both the inverting input and output, and
providing DC voltage gain of 90 dB (typical). The noninverting input is internally biased at 2.5 V and is not pinned
out. The converter output voltage is typically divided down and monitored by the inverting input. The maximum
input bias current is -2.0 µA, which can cause an output voltage error that is equal to the product of the input bias
current and the equivalent input divider source resistance.
8
The Error Amplifier Output (Pin 1) allows external loop compensation. The output voltage is offset by the two
diode drops ( 1.4 V) and divided by three before it connects to the inverting input of the Current Sense
Comparator. This assures that no drive pulses appear at the Output (Pin 6) when Pin 1 is at its lowest state
(VOL). This happens when the power supply is operating and the load is removed, or at the beginning of a softstart interval (Figures 11, 12). The Error Amp minimum feedback resistance is limited by the amplifier's source
current (0.5 mA) and the required output voltage (VOH) to reach the comparator's 1.0 V clamp level:
Rf(min)
3.0(1.0V) + 1.4V
= 8800W
0.5mA
Current Sense Comparator and PWM Latch
GM384XA series operates as a current mode controller, whereby output switch conduction is initiated by the
oscillator and terminated when the peak inductor current reaches the threshold level established by the Error
Amplifier Output/Compensation (Pin1). The error signal controls the peak inductor current cycle-by-cycle basis.
The Current Sense Comparator PWM Latch configuration assures that only a single pulse appears at the Output
during any given oscillator cycle. The inductor current is converted to a voltage by inserting the groundreferenced sense resistor RS in series with the source of output switch Q1. This voltage is monitored by the
Current Sense Input (Pin 3) and compared to a level derived from the Error Amp Output. The peak inductor
current under normal operating conditions is controlled by the voltage at pin 1 where:
Ipk=
V(PIN1) - 1.4V
3 RS
When the power supply output is overloaded or if output voltage sensing is lost, the chip operation is not normal.
In these situations, the Current Sense Comparator threshold will be internally clamped to 1.0 V and the
maximum peak switch current is:
1.0V
Ipk(mak)= R
S
When designing a high power switching regulator, it becomes desirable to reduce the internal clamp voltage in
order, to keep a reasonable level of power dissipation of RS. Adjusting the internal clamp voltage is very simple,
as shown in Figure 11. The two external diodes compensate the internal diodes so you get a constant clamp
voltage over temperature. Avoid too much reduction of the Ipk(max) clamp voltage, or you will get noise pickup and
erratic results.
A narrow spike on the leading edge of the current waveform often occurs and can cause the power supply
instability when the output load is light. This spike is caused by power transformer interwinding capacitance and
output rectifier recovery time. You can eliminate this problem by adding an RC filter on the Current Sense Input,
with a time constant similar to the spike's duration; see Figure 16.
Undervoltage Lockout
Two UVLO comparators in GM384XA series assure that the chips are fully functional before the output stage is
enabled. The positive power supply terminal (VCC) and the reference output (Vref) have separate comparators.
Each has built-in hysteresis to prevent erratic output behavior as their thresholds are reached. The VCC
comparator's upper and lower thresholds are 16 V/10 V for GM3842A and GM3844A, and 8.4V/7.6V for
GM3843A and GM3845A.
The Vref comparator's upper and lower thresholds are 3.6V/3.4 V. The large hysteresis and low startup current of
the GM3842A and GM3844A makes them ideal for off-line converter applications where efficient bootstrap
startup is required.
Output
GM384XA series has a single totem pole output stage that was designed for direct drive of power MOSFETs. It
provides up to ±1.0 A peak drive current and has a typical rise/ fall time of 50 ns with a 1.0 nF load. Additional
internal circuitry keeps the output in a sinking mode whenever a UVLO is active. This eliminates the need for an
external pull-down resistor.
Reference
The 5.0 V bandgap reference is trimmed to ±1.0% tolerance at TJ = 25°C on the GM384XA series. Its primary
purpose is to supply charging current to the oscillator timing capacitor. The reference has short circuit protection
and it can provide more than 20mA for powering additional control system circuitry.
Design Considerations
Do not make your converter to use wire-wrap or plug-in prototype boards. High-frequency circuit layout
techniques must be observed to prevent pulsewidth jitter. This is usually caused by excessive noise pick-up
imposed on the Current Sense or Voltage Feedback inputs. You can improve noice immunity by lowering circuit
impedances at these points. The PCB layout should have a ground plane with low-current signal and highcurrent switch and output grounds returning on separate paths to the input filter capacitor. Ceramic bypass
capacitors (0.1 µF) connected directly to VCC, VC, and Vref may be required, depending upon circuit layout, to
provide a low impedance path for filtering high frequency noise. All high-current loops should be as short as
possible and use heavy copper runs to minimize radiated EMI. The Error Amp compensation circuitry and the
converter output voltage divider should be placed as close as possible to the GM384XA, and as far as possible
from the power switch and other noise- generating components.
GM3842A, GM3843A, GM3844A, GM3845A
GM3843A and GM3845A are intended for lower voltage DC-to-DC converter applications. A 36 V zener is
connected as a shunt regulator from VCC to ground. Its purpose is to protect the IC from excessive voltage that
can occur during system startup. The minimum operating voltage for GM3842A and GM3844A is 11V; for
GM3843A and GM3845A it is 8.2V.
9
Current mode converters can exhibit subharmonic oscillations when operating at a duty cycle greater than 50%
with continuous inductor current. This instability is independent of the regulators closed–loop characteristics and
is caused by the simultaneous operating conditions of fixed frequency and peak current detecting. Figure 9.A
shows the phenomenon graphically. At t0, switch conduction begins and causes causing the inductor current to
rise at a slope of m1. This slope is a function of the input voltage divided by the inductance. At t1, the Current
Sense Input
reaches the threshold established by the control voltage.
This causes the switch to turn off and the current to decay at a slope of m2 until the next oscillator cycle. The
unstable condition can be shown if a pertubation is added to the control voltage, and resulting in a small DI
(dashed line). With a fixed oscillator period, the current decay time is reduced and the minimum current at switch
turn–on (t2) is increased by DI + DI m2/m1. The minimum current at next cycle (t3) decreases to (DI + DI m2/m1)
(m2/m1). This pertubation is multiplied by m2.m1 on each succeeding cycle, alternately increasing and decreasing
the inductor current at switch turn–on. Several oscillator cycles may be required before the inductor current
reaches zero, which caused causing the process to commence again. If m2/m1 is greater than 1, the converter
will be unstable. Figure 9.B shows that by adding an artificial ramp, that is synchronized with the PWM clock to
the control voltage, the DI pertubation will decrease to zero on succeeding cycles. This compensation ramp (m3)
must have a slope equal to or slightly greater than m2/2 for stability. With m2/2 slope compensation, the average
inductor current follows the control voltage yielding true current mode operation. The compensating ramp can be
