The large hysteresis and low start-up current of the PJ3842B makes it ideally suited in 7-15 2002/01.ver.A PJ3842B High Performance Current Mode Controller Output These devices contain a single totem pole output stage that was specifically designed for direct drive of power MOSFET’s. It is capable of up to ±1.0A peak drive current and has a typical rise and fall time of 50 ns with a 1.0nF 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 SOP-8 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 separat e Vc supply input allows the designer added fi exlbility 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 20V. Figure 25 shows proper power and control ground connections in a current sensing power MOSFET application. Reference The 5.0V bandgap reference is trimmed to±2.0% on the PJ3842B.Its promary purpose to supply charging current to the oscillator timing capacitor.The reference has short circuit protection and is capable of providing in excess of 20mA for powering additional control system circuitry. Design Considerations Do not attempt to construct the converter on wirewrap or plug-in prototype boards. High frequency circuit layout techniques are imperative to prevent pulsewidth 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 lowcurrent signal and high-current switch and output grounds returning separate paths back to the input filter capacitor.Ceramic bypass capacitors(0.1μF) connect ed directly to Vcc,Vc, and Vref may be required depending upon circuit layout . This provides a low impedance path for filtering the high frequency noised. 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. 8-15 FIGURE 19-CONTINUOUS CURRENT WAVEFROMS Current mode converters can exhibit subharmonic oscillations when operating at a duty cycle greater than 50% with continuous inductor current,This instability is independent of the regulators closed loop characteristics and is caused by the simultaneous operating conditions of fixed frequency and peak current detecting. Figure 19A shows the phenomenon graphically, At t0 , switch conduction begins , causing the inductor current to rise at a slope of m1 . This slope is a function of the input voltage divided by the inductance. At t1, the Current Sense Input reaches the threshold established by the control voltage. This causes the switch to turn off and the current to decay at a slope of m2 , until the next oscillator cycle. This unstable condition can be shown if a perturbation is added to the control voltage , resulting in a small Δl (dashed line). With a fixed oscillator period, the current decay time is reduced, and the minimum current at switch turn-on(t2 ) is increased by Δl+Δl m2 /m1 . The minimum current at the next cycl e (t3 ) decreases to (Δ l+ Δ l m2 /m1 )(m2 /m1 ). This perturbation is multiplied by m2 /m1 on each succeeding cycle , alternat ely increasing and decreasing the inductor current at switch turn-on, Several oscillator cycles may be required before the inductor current reaches zero causing the process to commence again. If m2 /m1 is greater than 1, the converter will be unstable . Figure 19B shows that by adding an artificial ramp that is synchronized with the PWM clock to the control voltage . the Δ l perturbation will decrease to zero on succeeding cycles. This compensating ramp (m3 ) must have a slope equal to or slightly greater than m2 /2 for stability . With m2 /2 slope compensation , the average inductor current follows the control voltage yielding true current mode operation. The compensating ramp can be derived from the oscillator and added to either the Voltage Feedback or Current Sense inputs (Figure 32). 2002/01.ver.A PJ3842B High Performance Current Mode Controller FIGURE 20-EXTERNAL CLOCK SYNCHRONI ZATION FIGURE 21-EXTERNAL DUTY CYCLE CLAMP AND MULTI UNIT SYNCHRONI ZATION 1.44 The diode clamp is required if the Sync amplitude is large enough to the cause the bottom side of CT to go more than 300mV below ground. f= (R A+RB) FIGURE 22-ADJUSTABLE REDUCTION OF CLAMP LEVEL RB D MAX= RA+2RB FIGURE 23-SOFT-START CIRCUIT Isoft-Start =3600c in µF FIGURE 24-ADJUSTABLE BUFFERED REDUCTION OF CLAMP LEVEL WITH SOFT-STAR FIGURE 25-CURRENT SENSING POWER MOSFET Virtually lossless current sensing can be achieved with the implementation of a SENSEFET power switch.For proper operation during over current conditions.a reduction of the Ipk(max) clamp level must be implemented.Refer to Figure 22 and 24 9-15 2002/01.ver.A PJ3842B High Performance Current Mode Controller FIGURE 26-CURRENT WAVEFORM SPIKE SUPPRESSION FIGURE 27-MOSFET PARASITIC OSCILLATIONS The addition of RC filter will eliminate instability caused by the leading edge splik on the current waveform.

A representative block diagram is shown in Figure 17. OSCILLATOR The oscillator frequency is programmed by the values selected for the timing components R T and C T . Capacitor C T is charged from the 5.0V reference through resistor R T to approximately 2.8V and discharge to 1.2V by an internal current sink.During the discharge of C T , the oscillator generat es 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. Figure 1 shows R T versus Oscillator Frequency and Figure 2, Output Deadtime versus Frequency, both for given values of CT . Note that many values of R T and C T will give the same oscillator frequency but only onne combination will yield a specific output deadtime at a given frequency. The oscillator thresholds are temperature compens ated, and the discharge current is trimmed and guaranteed to within ±10% at TJ =25℃. These internal circuit refinem ents minimum variations of oscillator frequency and maximum output duty cycle. The results are shown in Figure 3 and 4. 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 20. 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 21. By tailoring the clock waveform, accurate Output duty cycle clamping can be achieved. ERROR AMPLIFIER A fully compensated Error Ampli fier with access to the inverting input and output is provided. It features a typical DC voltage gain of 90dB, and a unity gain bandwidth of 1.0MHz with 57 degrees of phas e margin (Figure 7). The non-inverting input is internally biased at 2.5V 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 -2.0μA 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 ext ernal loop compens ation (Figure 31). The output voltage is offs et by two diode drops (≈1.4V) 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 power supply is operating and the load is removed, or at the beginning of a soft-start interval (Figure 23,24). The Error Amp minimum feedback resistance is limited by the amplifier's source current (0.5mA) and the required output voltage (VOH) to reach the comparator’s 1.0V clamp level: R f(MIN) = [3.0 (1.0V)+1.4V] / 0.5mA = 8800Ω CURRENT SENSE COMPARATOR AND PWM LATCH The PJ3842B 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 Ampli fier 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 appears at the Output during any given oscillator cycle. The inductor current is converted to a voltageby 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) - 1.4V] / 3R S 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 1.0V. Therefore the maximum peak swi tch current is: IPK (MAX) = 1.0V / R S When designing a high power switching regulator it becomes desirable to reduce the internal clamp voltage in order to keep the power dissipation of R S to a reasonable level. A simple method to adjust this voltage is shown in Figure 22. 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 obs erved and may cause the power supply to exhibit an instability when the output is lightly loaded. This spike is due to the power trans former interwinding capacitance and output recti fier 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 26. 14-15 2002/01.ver.A PJ3842B High Performance Current Mode Controller MILLIMET ERS MIN MAX 9.07 9.32 6.22 6.48 3.18 4.43 0.35 0.55 2.54BSC 0.29 0.31 3.25 3.35 7.75 8.00 10° INCH ES MIN MAX 0.357 0.367 0.245 0.255 0.125 0.135 0.019 0.020 0.10BSC 0.011 0.012 0.128 0.132 0.305 0.315 10° DIM A B C D F G K M P R MILLIMETERS MIN MAX 4.80 5.00 3.80 4.00 1.35 1.75 0.35 0.49 0.40 1.25 1.27BSC 0.10 0.25 0° 7° 5.80 6.20 0.25 0.50 INCHES MIN MAX 0.189 0.196 0.150 0.157 0.054 0.068 0.014 0.019 0.016 0.049 0.05BSC 0.004 0.009 0° 7° 0.229 0.244 0.010 0.019 15-15 DIM A B C D G J K L M 2002/01.ver.A
