Output circuit The output circuit has a totem pole type configuration and can drive an external NPN transistor directly. The value of the ON/ OFF current can be set by a resistor connected to the BR/ CTL pin (pin 4). Other Functions Soft start and short circuit detection Soft start operation is set by connecting capacitor CPE to the SCP pin (pin 2). Soft start prevents a current spike on start- up. On completion of soft start operation, the SCP pin (pin 2) stays low and enters the short circuit detection wait state. When an output short circuit occurs, the error amplifier output is fixed at VOM+ and capacitor CPE starts charging. After charging to approximately 0.8 V, the output pin (pin 5) is set low and the SCP pin (pin 2) stays low. Switching Regulator Function Reference voltage circuit The reference voltage circuit generates a temperaturecompensated reference voltage (@1.25V) from voltage supplied from the power supply pin (pin 3). In addition to providing the reference voltage for the switching regulator, the circuit also sets the idle period. Sawtooth wave oscillator The sawtooth oscillator generates a sawtooth wave (up to 1 MHz) that is stable with respect to the supply voltage and temperature. The capacitor and resistor that set the oscillation frequency are connected to the OSC pin (pin 7). Error amplifier (Error Amp.) The error amplifier detects the output voltage of the switching regulator and outputs the PWM control signal. The voltage gain is fixed, and connecting a phase compensation capacitor to the FB pin (pin 8) provides stable phase compensation for the system. Once the protection circuit operates, the circuit can be restored by resetting the power supply. (See “n HOW TO SET THE TIME CONSTANT FOR SOFT START AND SHORT CIRCUIT DETECTION”.) Circuit to prevent malfunction at low input voltage Transients when powering on or instantaneous glitches in the supply voltage can lead to malfunction of the control IC and cause system damage or failure. The circuit to prevent malfunction at low input voltage detects a low input voltage by comparing the supply voltage to the internal reference voltage. On detection, the circuit fixes the output pin to low. The system recovers when the supply voltage rises back above the threshold voltage of the malfunction prevention circuit. PWM comparator (PWM Comp.) The voltage comparator has one inverting and three noninverting inputs. The comparator is a voltage/ pulse width converter that controls the ON time of the output pulse depending on the input voltage. The output level is high (H) when the sawtooth wave is lower than the error amplifier output voltage, soft start setting voltage, and idle period setting voltage.

The PWM comparator compares the soft start setting voltage as a proportion of the voltage at the SCP pin with the sawtooth waveform. The comparison controls the ON duty of the OUT pin, causing the soft start operation. On completion of soft start operation, the voltage at the SCP pin stays low, the soft start setting voltage stays high, and the circuit enters the output short circuit detection wait state. Soft start time (The time until the output ON duty reaches approximately 50%) tS [s] @ 0.35 ´ CPE [mF] Short Circuit Protection If the switching regulator output suddenly drops due to load effect, the error amplifier output (FB pin) is fixed at VOM + and capacitor CPE starts charging. When the voltage at the SCP pin reaches approximately 0.8V, the output pin is set low and the SCP pin stays low. Once the protection circuit operates, the circuit can be restored by resetting the power supply. • Short circuit detection time TPE [s] @ 0.8 ´ CPE [mF] APPLICATION DIAGRAM B3800 Bay Linear, Inc 2418 Armstrong Street, Livermore, CA 94550 Tel: (925) 606-5950, Fax: (925) 940-9556 www.baylinear.com B3800 8 pin SOIC 4.0 (0.158) 3.8 (0.150) 5.2 (0.205) 4.6 (0.181) 6.2 (0.244) 5.8 (0.228) Pin 1 1.27 (0.50) BSC 1.75 (0.069) 1.35 (0.053) 0.78 (0.031) 0.61 (0.024) 5.0 (0.197) 4.8 (0.188) 0.37 (0.015) BSC 45° 0.77 (0.030) 0.64 (0.025) 7 °(4 PLCS) 3° -6° 0.56 (0.022) 0.49 (0.019) 0.45 (0.018) 0.35 (0.014) 0.20 (0.008) 0.10 (0.004) 0.22 (0.009) 0.19 (0.007) 7 °(4 PLCS) Advance Information- These data sheets contain descriptions of products that are in development.
