SEMICONDUCTOR
AS384x
Current Mode Controller
Description
The AS3842 family of control ICs provide pin-for-pin replacement of the
industry standard UC3842 series of devices. The devices are
redesigned to provide significantly improved tolerances in power sup-
ply manufacturing. The 2.5 V reference has been trimmed to 1.0%
tolerance. The oscillator discharge current is trimmed to provide guar-
anteed duty cycle clamping rather than specified discharge current.
The circuit is more completely specified to guarantee all parameters
impacting power supply manufacturing tolerances.
In addition, the oscillator and flip-flop sections have been enhanced to
provide additional performance. The R
T
/C
T
pin now doubles as a syn-
chronization input that can be easily driven from open collector/open
drain logic outputs. This sync input is a high impedance input and can
easily be used for externally clocked systems. The new flip-flop topol-
ogy allows the duty cycle on the AS3844/5 to be guaranteed between
49 and 50%. The AS3843/5 requires less than 0.5 mA of start-up cur-
rent over the full temperature range.

Description
This pin is the error amplifier output. Typically used to provide loop compensation to
maintain V
FB
at 2.5 V.
Inverting input of the error amplifier. The non-inverting input is a trimmed 2.5 V
bandgap reference.
A voltage proportional to inductor current is connected to the input. The PWM uses
this information to terminate the gate drive of the output.
Oscillator frequency and maximum output duty cycle are set by connecting a resistor
(R
T
) to V
REG
and a capacitor (C
T
) to ground. Pulling this pin to ground or to V
REG
will
accomplish a synchronization function.
Circuit common ground, power ground, and IC substrate.
This output is designed to directly drive a power MOSFET switch. This output can sink
or source peak currents up to 1A. The output for the AS3844/5 switches at one-half
the oscillator frequency.
Positive supply voltage for the IC.
This 5 V regulated output provides charging current for the capacitor C
T
through the
resistor R
T
.

Electrical Characteristics
Current Mode Controller
Electrical characteristics are guaranteed over full junction temperature range (0 to 105¡C). Ambient temperature must be derated
based on power dissipation and package thermal characteristics. The conditions are: V
CC
= 15 V, R
T
= 10 k½, and C
T
= 3.3 nF, unless
otherwise stated. To override UVLO, V
CC
should be raised above 17 V prior to test.
