BiCMOS Current-Mode PWM Controllers
General Description
Features
The MIC38C4xA are fixed frequency, high performance,
current-mode PWM controllers. Micrel’s BiCMOS devices
are pin compatible with 384x bipolar devices but feature
several improvements.
Undervoltage lockout circuitry allows the ’42 and ’44 versions
to start up at 14.5V and operate down to 9V, and the ’43 and
’45 versions start at 8.4V with operation down to 7.6V. All
versions operate up to 20V.
When compared to bipolar 384x devices operating from a
15V supply, start-up current has been reduced to 50µA
typical and operating current has been reduced to 4.0mA
typical. Decreased output rise and fall times drive larger
MOSFETs, and rail-to-rail output capability increases efficiency, especially at lower supply voltages. The MIC38C4xA
also features a trimmed oscillator discharge current and
bandgap reference.
The MIC38C4xA family is available in 8-pin SOIC and MSOP8 (MM8) package options
• Fast 40ns output rise and 30ns output fall times
• –40°C to +85°C temperature range

• Low operating current (4mA typical)
• CMOS outputs with rail-to-rail swing

mended.
When designing high-frequency converters, avoid capacitive
and inductive coupling of the switching waveform into highimpedance circuitry such as the error amplifier, oscillator, and
current sense amplifier. Avoid long printed-circuit traces and
component leads. Locate oscillator and compensation circuitry near the IC. Use high frequency decoupling capacitors
on VREF, and if necessary, on VDD. Return high di/dt currents
directly to their source and use large area ground planes.
Buck Converter
Refer to figure 1. When at least 26V is applied to the input,
C5 is charged through R2 until the voltage VDD is greater than
14.5V (the undervoltage lockout value of the MIC38C42).
Output switching begins when Q1 is turned on by the gate
drive transformer T1, charging the output filter capacitor C3
through L1. D5 supplies a regulated +12V to VDD once the
circuit is running.
Current sense transformer CT1 provides current feedback to
ISNS for current-mode operation and cycle-by-cycle current
limiting. This is more efficient than a high-power sense
resistor and provides the required ground-referenced level
shift.
When Q1 turns off, current flow continues from ground
through D1 and L1 until Q1 is turned on again.
The 100V Schottky diode D1 reduces the forward voltage
drop in the main current path, resulting in higher efficiency
than could be accomplished using an ultra-fast-recovery
diode. R1 and C2 suppress parasitic oscillations from D1.
Using a high-value inductance for L1 and a low-ESR capacitor for C3 permits small capacitance with minimum output
ripple. This inductance value also improves circuit efficiency
by reducing the flux swing in L1.
Application Information
Familiarity with 384x converter designs is assumed.
MIC38C4x Advantages
Start-up Current
Start-up current has been reduced to an ultra-low 50µA
(typical) permitting higher-valued, lower-wattage, start-up
resistors (powers controller during power supply start-up).
The reduced resistor wattage reduces cost and printed circuit
space.
Operating Current
Operating current has been reduced to 4mA compared to
11mA for a typical bipolar controller. The controller runs
cooler and the VDD hold-up capacitance required during
start-up may be reduced.
Output Driver
Complementary internal P- and N-channel MOSFETs produce rail-to-rail output voltages for better performance driving
external power MOSFETs. The driver transistor’s low onresistance and high peak current capability can drive gate
capacitances of greater than 1000pF. The value of output
capacitance which can be driven is determined only by the
rise/fall time requirements. Within the restrictions of output
capacity and controller power dissipation, maximum switching frequency can approach 500kHz.
Design Precautions
When operating near 20V, circuit transients can easily exceed the 20V absolute maximum rating, permanently damaging the controller’s CMOS construction. To reduce transients, use a 0.1µF low-ESR capacitor to next to the controller’s
supply VDD (or VD for ‘-1’ versions) and ground connections.

Synchronous Buck Converter
Refer to figure 2. This MIC38C43 synchronous buck converter uses an MIC5022 half-bridge driver to alternately drive
the PWM switch MOSFET (driven by GATEH, or high-side
output) and a MOSFET which functions as a synchronous
rectifier (driven by the GATEL, or low-side output).
The low-side MOSFET turns on when the high-side MOSFET
is off, allowing current to return from ground. Current flows
through the low-side MOSFET in the source to drain direction.
The on-state voltage drop of the low-side MOSFET is lower
than the forward voltage drop of an equivalent Schottky
rectifier. This lower voltage drop results in higher efficiency.
A sense resistor (5mΩ) is connected to the driver’s high-side
current sense inputs to provide overcurrent protection. Refer
to the MIC5020, MIC5021, and MIC5022 data sheets for
more information.
