DESCRIPTION
RTCT
4
This is the oscillator timing control pin. The operational frequency and maximum
duty cycle are set by connecting a resistor, RT, between VREF and this pin and a
timing capacitor, CT, from this pin to GND. The oscillator produces a sawtooth
waveform with a programmable frequency range up to 2.0MHz. The charge time, tC,
the discharge time, tD, the RTCT oscillator frequency, f and the maximum duty cycle,
DMAX, can be approximated from Equations 1 through 4:
t C  0.533  RT  CT
(EQ. 1)
0.008  RT – 3.83
t D  – RT  CT  In  --------------------------------------------- 
 0.008  RT – 1.71 
(EQ. 2)
f = 1  tC + tD
(EQ. 3)
D = tC  f
(EQ. 4)
The formulas have increased error at higher frequencies due to propagation delays.
Figure 7 may be used as a guideline in selecting the capacitor and resistor values
required for a given oscillator frequency for the ISL7884xASxH. The switching
frequency for the ISL78841ASxH and ISL78845ASxH will be half the RTCT oscillator
frequency.
COMP
1
COMP is the output of the error amplifier and the input of the PWM comparator. The
control loop frequency compensation network is connected between the COMP and
FB pins.
FB
2
The output voltage feedback is connected to the inverting input of the error amplifier
through this pin. The noninverting input of the error amplifier is internally tied to a
reference voltage.
CS
3
This is the current sense input to the PWM comparator. The range of the input signal
is nominally 0V to 1.0V and has an internal offset of 100mV.
GND
5
GND is the power and small signal reference ground for all functions.
OUT
6
This is the drive output to the power switching device. It is a high current output
capable of driving the gate of a power MOSFET with peak currents of 1.0A. This GATE
output is actively held low when VDD is below the UVLO threshold.

DESCRIPTION
VDD
7
VDD is the power connection for the device. The total supply current will depend on
the load applied to OUT. Total IDD current is the sum of the operating current and the
average output current. Knowing the operating frequency, f and the MOSFET gate
charge, Qg, the average output current can be calculated from Equation 5:
I OUT = Qg  f
(EQ. 5)
To optimize noise immunity, bypass VDD to GND with a ceramic capacitor as close to
the VDD and GND pins as possible.

Functional Description
Soft-Start Operation
Features
Soft-start must be implemented externally. One method,
illustrated below, clamps the voltage on COMP.
The ISL7884xASxH current mode PWM makes an ideal choice
for low-cost flyback and forward topology applications. With its
greatly improved performance over industry standard parts, it is
the obvious choice for new designs or existing designs, which
require updating.
VREF
The ISL7884xASxH has a sawtooth oscillator with a
programmable frequency range to 2MHz, which can be
programmed with a resistor from VREF and a capacitor to GND on
the RTCT pin. (Please refer to Figure 7 for the resistor and
capacitance required for a given frequency.)

The COMP pin is clamped to the voltage on capacitor C1 plus a
base-emitter junction by transistor Q1. C1 is charged from VREF
through resistor R1 and the base current of Q1. At power-up C1 is
fully discharged, COMP is at ~0.7V and the duty cycle is zero. As
C1 charges, the voltage on COMP increases and the duty cycle
increases in proportion to the voltage on C1. When COMP
reaches the steady state operating point, the control loop takes
over and soft-start is complete. C1 continues to charge up to
VREF and no longer affects COMP. During power-down, diode D1
quickly discharges C1 so that the soft-start circuit is properly
initialized prior to the next power-on sequence.
Gate Drive
The ISL7884xAxEH is capable of sourcing and sinking 1A peak
current. To limit the peak current through the IC, an optional
external resistor may be placed between the totem-pole output of
the IC (OUT pin) and the gate of the MOSFET. This small series
resistor also damps any oscillations caused by the resonant tank
of the parasitic inductances in the traces of the board and the
FETs input capacitance. TID environment of >50krads requires
the use of a bleeder resistor of 10k from the OUT pin to GND.
Slope Compensation
For applications where the maximum duty cycle is less than 50%,
slope compensation may be used to improve noise immunity,
particularly at lighter loads. The amount of slope compensation
required for noise immunity is determined empirically, but is
generally about 10% of the full scale current feedback signal. For
applications where the duty cycle is greater than 50%, slope
compensation is required to prevent instability.
Slope compensation may be accomplished by summing an
external ramp with the current feedback signal or by subtracting
the external ramp from the voltage feedback error signal. Adding
the external ramp to the current feedback signal is the more
popular method.
From the small signal current-mode model [1] it can be shown
that the naturally-sampled modulator gain, Fm, without slope
compensation is calculated in Equation 6:
1
Fm = -----------------Sntsw
(EQ. 6)
Where Sn is the slope of the sawtooth signal and tsw is the
duration of the half-cycle. When an external ramp is added, the
modulator gain becomes Equation 7:
1
1
Fm = ------------------------------------- = ------------------------- Sn + Se tsw
m c Sntsw
(EQ. 8)
The criteria for determining the correct amount of external ramp
can be determined by appropriately setting the damping factor of
the double-pole located at the switching frequency. The
double-pole will be critically damped if the Q-factor is set to 1,
over-damped for Q < 1 and under-damped for Q > 1. An
under-damped condition may result in current loop instability.

Where VCS is the voltage across the current sense resistor, Ls is

output rectifier is negligible.
Since the peak current limit threshold is 1.00V, the total current
feedback signal plus the external ramp voltage must sum to this
value when the output load is at the current limit threshold as
shown in Equation 14:

Adding slope compensation is accomplished in the
ISL7884xASxH using an external buffer transistor and the RTCT
signal. A typical application sums the buffered RTCT signal with
the current sense feedback and applies the result to the CS pin
as shown in Figure 9.
RCS = 295mΩ
Determine the amount of voltage, Ve, that must be added to the
current feedback signal using Equation 12.

Additional slope compensation may be considered for design
margin. The above discussion determines the minimum external
ramp that is required. The buffer transistor used to create the
external ramp from RTCT should have a sufficiently high gain
(>200) so as to minimize the required base current. Whatever
base current is required reduces the charging current into RTCT
and will reduce the oscillator frequency.

Assuming the designer has selected values for the RC filter (R6
and C4) placed on the CS pin, the value of R9 required to add the
appropriate external ramp can be found by superposition.

V e = ---------------------------R6 + R9
(EQ. 16)

The factor of 2.05 in Equation 16 arises from the peak amplitude
of the sawtooth waveform on RTCT minus a base-emitter junction
drop. That voltage multiplied by the maximum duty cycle is the
voltage source for the slope compensation. Rearranging to solve
for R9 yields Equation 17:
 2.05D – V e   R 6
R 9 = ---------------------------------------------Ve

(EQ. 17)
The value of RCS determined in Equation 15 must be rescaled so
that the current sense signal presented at the CS pin is that
predicted by Equation 13. The divider created by R6 and R9
makes this necessary.

A Fault condition occurs if VREF falls below 4.65V. When a Fault
is detected, OUT is disabled. When VREF exceeds 4.80V, the Fault
condition clears and OUT is enabled.
Ground Plane Requirements
Careful layout is essential for satisfactory operation of the device.
A good ground plane must be employed. A unique section of the
ground plane must be designated for high di/dt currents
associated with the output stage. VDD should be bypassed
directly to GND with good high frequency capacitors.
