MOTOROLA UC284XBD

Order this document by UC3844B/D
The UC3844B, UC3845B series are high performance fixed frequency
current mode controllers. They are specifically designed for Off–Line and
dc–to–dc converter applications offering the designer a cost–effective
solution with minimal external components. These integrated circuits feature
an oscillator, a temperature compensated reference, high gain error
amplifier, current sensing comparator, and a high current totem pole output
ideally suited for driving a power MOSFET.
Also included are protective features consisting of input and reference
undervoltage lockouts each with hysteresis, cycle–by–cycle current limiting,
a latch for single pulse metering, and a flip–flop which blanks the output off
every other oscillator cycle, allowing output deadtimes to be programmed
from 50% to 70%.
These devices are available in an 8–pin dual–in–line and surface mount
(SO–8) plastic package as well as the 14–pin plastic surface mount (SO–14).
The SO–14 package has separate power and ground pins for the totem pole
output stage.
The UCX844B has UVLO thresholds of 16 V (on) and 10 V (off), ideally
suited for off–line converters. The UCX845B is tailored for lower voltage
applications having UVLO thresholds of 8.5 V (on) and 7.6 V (off).

diagram is shown in Figure 15.
Oscillator
The oscillator frequency is programmed by the values
selected for 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 discharge 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 output
deadtime. An internal flip–flop has been incorporated in the
UCX844/5B which blanks the output off every other clock
cycle by holding one of the inputs of the NOR gate high. This
in combination with the CT discharge period yields output
deadtimes programmable from 50% to 70%. Figure 1 shows
RT versus Oscillator Frequency and Figure 2, Output
Deadtime versus Frequency, both for given values of CT.
Note that many 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 to within ±6% at 50
kHz. Also, because of industry trends moving the UC384X
into higher and higher frequency applications, the UC384XB
is guaranteed to within ±10% at 250 kHz.
In many noise–sensitive applications it may be desirable
to frequency–lock the converter to an external system clock.
This can be accomplished by applying a clock signal to the
circuit shown in Figure 17. For reliable locking, the
free–running oscillator frequency should be set about 10%
less than the clock frequency. A method for multi–unit
synchronization is shown in Figure 18. By tailoring the clock
waveform, accurate Output duty cycle clamping can be
achieved to realize output deadtimes of greater than 70%.
Error Amplifier
A fully compensated Error Amplifier with access to the
inverting input and output is provided. It features a typical dc
voltage gain of 90 dB, and a unity gain bandwidth of 1.0 MHz
with 57 degrees of phase margin (Figure 5). The
non–inverting 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.
The Error Amp Output (Pin 1) is provided for external loop
compensation (Figure 28). The output voltage is offset by two
diode drops (≈1.4 V) and divided by three before it connects
to the inverting input of the Current Sense Comparator. This
guarantees that no drive pulses appear at the Output (Pin 6)
when Pin 1 is at its lowest state (VOL). This occurs when the
MOTOROLA ANALOG IC DEVICE DATA
power supply is operating and the load is removed, or at the
beginning of a soft–start interval (Figures 20, 21). 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 (1.0 V) + 1.4 V
0.5 mA
= 8800 Ω
Current Sense Comparator and PWM Latch
The UC3844B, UC3845B operate 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 (Pin 1). Thus the error signal controls
the peak inductor current on a cycle–by–cycle basis. The
Current Sense Comparator PWM Latch configuration used
ensures 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 ground–referenced 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(Pin 1) – 1.4 V
3 RS
Abnormal operating conditions occur when the power
supply output is overloaded or if output voltage sensing is
lost. Under these conditions, the Current Sense Comparator
threshold will be internally clamped to 1.0 V. Therefore the
maximum peak switch current is:
Ipk(max) =
1.0 V
RS
When designing a high power switching regulator it
becomes desirable to reduce the internal clamp voltage in
order to keep the power dissipation of RS to a reasonable
level. A simple method to adjust this voltage is shown in
Figure 19. The two external diodes are used to compensate
the internal diodes, yielding a constant clamp voltage over
temperature. Erratic operation due to noise pickup can result
if there is an excessive reduction of the Ipk(max) clamp
voltage.
A narrow spike on the leading edge of the current
waveform can usually be observed and may cause the power
supply to exhibit an instability when the output is lightly
loaded. This spike is due to the power transformer
interwinding capacitance and output rectifier recovery time.
The addition of an RC filter on the Current Sense Input with a
time constant that approximates the spike duration will
usually eliminate the instability (refer to Figure 23).

Undervoltage Lockout
Two undervoltage lockout comparators have been
incorporated to guarantee that the IC is fully functional before
the output stage is enabled. The positive power supply
terminal (VCC) and the reference output (Vref) are each
monitored by separate comparators. Each has built–in
hysteresis to prevent erratic output behavior as their
respective thresholds are crossed. The VCC comparator
upper and lower thresholds are 16 V/10 V for the UCX844B,
and 8.4 V/7.6 V for the UCX845B. The Vref comparator upper
and lower thresholds are 3.6 V/3.4 V. The large hysteresis
and low startup current of the UCX844B makes it ideally
suited in off–line converter applications where efficient
bootstrap startup techniques are required (Figure 29). The
UCX845B is 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 the UCX844B is 11 V and 8.2
V for the UCX845B.
Output
These devices contain a single totem pole output stage
that was specifically designed for direct drive of power
MOSFETs. It is capable of up to ±1.0 A peak drive current and
has a typical rise and fall time of 50 ns with a 1.0 nF load.
Additional internal circuitry has been added to keep the
Output in a sinking mode whenever an undervoltage lockout
is active. This characteristic eliminates the need for an
external pull–down resistor.
The SO–14 surface mount package provides separate
pins for VC (output supply) and Power Ground. Proper
implementation will significantly reduce the level of switching
transient noise imposed on the control circuitry. This
becomes particularly useful when reducing the Ipk(max) clamp
level. The separate VC supply input allows the designer
added flexibility in tailoring the drive voltage independent of
VCC. A zener clamp is typically connected to this input when
driving power MOSFETs in systems where VCC is greater
than 20 V. Figure 22 shows proper power and control ground
connections in a current–sensing power MOSFET
application.
Reference
The 5.0 V bandgap reference is trimmed to ±1.0%
tolerance at TJ = 25°C on the UC284XB, and ±2.0% on the
UC384XB. Its primary purpose is to supply charging current
to the oscillator timing capacitor. The reference has
short–circuit protection and is capable of providing in excess
of 20 mA for powering additional control system circuitry.
Design Considerations
Do not attempt to construct the converter on
wire–wrap or plug–in prototype boards. High frequency
circuit layout techniques are imperative to prevent
pulse–width jitter. This is usually caused by excessive noise
pick–up imposed on the Current Sense or Voltage Feedback
inputs. Noise immunity can be improved by lowering circuit
impedances at these points. The printed circuit layout should
contain a ground plane with low–current signal and
high–current switch and output grounds returning on
separate paths back 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. This
provides a low impedance path for filtering the high frequency
noise. All high current loops should be kept as short as
possible using heavy copper runs to minimize radiated EMI.
The Error Amp compensation circuitry and the converter
output voltage divider should be located close to the IC and
as far as possible from the power switch and other
noise–generating components.
