Bay Linear Inspire the Linear Power B38C42/43/44/45 BiCMOS Current Mode PWM Controller Advance Information Description Features The Bay Linear B38C42/43/44/45 are fixed frequency and high performance current-mode PWM controller in BiCMOS. They are pin compatible with all bipolar 384X’s controllers are similar to the MIC38C4X family. These devices are designed for DC-to-DC converter applications and feature a trimmed oscillator discharge current and bandgap reference. The benefit of the BiCMOS process provides significant performance improvement compared to Bipolar 384X devices. At 15VIN the start-up current is reduced to 50µA (typ.) from 0.17 mA with an operating current reduced to 4mA (typ.) from 14mA. Also, quicker output rise and fall times drive larger MOSFET ‘s and rail-to-rail output capability improves efficiency, especially lower supply voltages. Major differences between members of these series are the UVLO thresholds. Typical UVLO thresholds of 14.5V (on) and 9V (off) for the B38C42 and B38C44 devices make them ideally suited to off-line applications. The corresponding typical thresholds for the B38C43 and B3845 devcies are 8.4V (on) and 7.6V (off). The B39C4X devices are available in 8 pin DIP and SOIC.

Suply votlage input 5Volt reerence votlage output Application Notes: The Bay Linear B38C4X devices are compatible with generic 384x PWM devices. The following discussion highlights the differences and advantages of the Bay C design. Start- up Current Bau Linear BiCMOS process allows for substantial reduction in the start- up current. Typical start- up current is 95 µ A, with a maximum limit of 120 µ A. Low start- up current allows high resistance, lowerwattage, start- up resistors to supply controller startup power. The CMOS output stage “ break- before- make” action is guaranteed by design and insures that no cross- conduction current will flow. This minimizes heat dissipation, increases efficiency and enhances reliability. Oscilator Operation Two external components, RT and CT, set the switching frequency. With VCC = 14V, RT = 10k and CT = 3.3nF, nominal switching frequency is 50kHz. Output Driver The B38C4x CMOS output stage drives external power MOSFETs to the full supply voltage. Low ONresistance and high peak current drive combine to give greater than 1000pF gate capacitance drive capability. Rise and fall time requirements may dictate the appropriate value of output capacitance. Within the restrictions of output capacity and controller power dissipation, switching frequencies Bay Linear, Inc can exceed 1MHz.
