In normal operation the device resonates at a frequency dependingprimarily on the inductance value, the input and output voltage and the load current. The maximum switching however can be limited by an internal oscillator, which can be programmed by only one external resistor. The fondamental regulation loop consists of two comparators, a precision 5.1V on-chip reference and a drive latch. Briefly the operation is as follows: when the choke ends its discharge the catch freewheeling recirculation filter diode begins to come out of forward conduction so the output voltage of the device approaches ground. When the output voltage reaches –0.1V the internal comparator sets the latch and the power stage is turned on. Then the inductor current rises linearly until the voltage sensed at the feedback input reaches the 5.1V reference. The second comparator then resets the latch and the output stage is turned off. The current in the choke falls linearly until it is fully discharged, then the cycle repeats. Closing the loop directly gives an output voltage of 5.1V. Higher output voltages are Figure 1: Reset and Power Fail Function 4/17 obtained by inserting a voltage divider and this method of control requires no frequency compensation network. At output voltages greater than 5.1V the available output current must be derated due to the increased power dissipation of the device. Output overload protection is provided by an internal current limiter. The load current is sensed by a on-chip metal resistor connected to a comparator which resets the latch and turns off the powerstage in overload condition. The reset circuits (see fig. 1) generates an output high signal when the output voltage value is correct. It has an open collector output and the output signal delay time can be programmed with an external capacitor. A powerfail circuit is also available and is used to monitor the supply voltage. Its output goes high when the supply voltage reaches a pre-programmedtreshold set by a voltage divider to its input from the supply to ground. With the input left open the threshold is approximately equal to 5.1V. The output of the power fail is an open collector. A TTL level inhibit is provided for applications such as remote on/off control. This input is activated by a low logic level and disables circuits operation. The thermal overload circuit disables the device when the junction temperature is about 150°C and has hysteresis to prevent unstable conditions.
