DESCRIPTION
The AMC3842B/43B are fixed frequency current-mode
PWM controllers specially designed for OFF-Line switching
power supply and DC-to-DC converters with a minimum
number of external components. These devices feature a
trimmed oscillator for precise duty cycle control, a
temperature compensated reference, high gain error
amplifier, current sensing comparator, and high current
totem pole output which is suitable for driving MOSFETs.
The under voltage lock-out (U.V.L.O.) is designed to
operated with 200µA typ. start-up current, allowing an
efficient bootstrap supply voltage design. The U.V.L.O.
thresholds for the AMC3842B are 16V (on) and 10V (off)
which are ideal for off-line applications. The corresponding
typical threshold for the AMC3843B are 8.4V (on) and 7.6V
(off). The AMC3842B/43B can operated within 100% duty
cycle.
