ISSUED DATE :2003/05/20 REVISED DATE :2005/10/05C GSC3842 HIGH PERFORMANCE CURRENT MODE CONTROLERS Description The GSC3842 is high performance fixed frequency current mode controllers. This is 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 a trimmed oscillator for precise duty cycle control. 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, programmable output deadtime, and latch for single pulse metering. Features *Trimmed Oscillator for Precise Frequency Control *Oscillator Frequency Guaranteed at 250kHz *Current Mode Operation to 500kHz *Automatic Feed Forward Compensation *latching PWM for Cycle-By-Cycle Current Limiting *Internally Trimmed Reference with Undervoltage Lockout *High Current Totem Pole Output *Undervoltage Lockout with Hysteresis *Low Startup and Operating Current Package Dimensions Millimeter Min.

This is the inverting input of the Error Amplifier. It’s normally connected to the Switching power supply output through a resistor divider. A voltage proportional to inductor current is connected to this input .The PWM uses this information to terminate the output switch conduction. The oscillator frequency and maximum output duty cycle are programmed by connecting resistor RT to Vref and capacitor CT to ground .Operation 500kHz is possible. This pin is the combined control circuitry and power ground. This output directly drives the gate of a power MOSFET. Peak currents up to 1 A are sourced and sunk by this pin. This pin is the positive supply of the control IC. This is the reference output .It provides charging current for capacitor CT through resistor RT.
