MIC3808/3809
Push-Pull PWM Controller
General Description
The MIC3808 and MIC3809 are a family of complementary
output push-pull PWM control ICs that feature high speed and
low power consumption. The MIC3808/9 are ideal for telecom
level (36V to 75V) isolated step down dc/dc conversion
applications where high output current, small size, and high
efficiency are required.
The dual-ended push-pull architecture of the MIC3808/9
allows more efficient utilization of the transformer than single-
ended topologies, allowing smaller size dc/dc solutions.
Additionally, the out-of-phase push-pull topology allows a
higher effective duty cycle, reducing input and output ripple
as well as stress on the external components. The dead-time
between the two outputs is adjustable between 60ns to
200ns, limiting the duty cycle of each output stage to less than
50%.
The MIC3808/9 are built on a low-power, high-speed BiCMOS
process. The 130µA start-up current and 1mA run-current
reduce the size of the start-up circuitry and allow high
efficiency even at light loads. The high-speed internal 4MHz
error amplifier allows MIC3808/9 operation up to 1MHz.
The MIC3808 has a turn-on threshold of 12.5V whereas the
MIC3809 has a lower turn-on threshold of 4.3V. Both devices
are available in SOP-8 and MSOP-8 package options with an
operating range of –40°C to +85°C.

COMP
Pin Function
COMP is the output of the error amplifier and the input of the PWM com-
parator. The error amplifier in the MIC3808 is a true low-output impedance,
4MHz operational amplifier. As such, the COMP pin can both source and
sink current. However, the error amplifier is internally current limited, so that
zero duty cycle can be externally forced by pulling COMP to GND. The
MIC3808 family features built-in full cycle soft start. Soft start is imple-
mented as a clamp on the maximum COMP voltage.
The inverting input to the error amplifier. For best stability, keep FB lead
length as short as possible and FB stray capacitance as small as possible.
The input to the PWM, peak current, and overcurrent comparators. The
overcurrent comparator is only intended for fault sensing. Exceeding the
overcurrent threshold will cause a soft start cycle. An internal MOSFET
discharges the current sense filter capacitor to improve dynamic perfor-
mance of the power converter.
The oscillator programming pin. The MIC3808’s oscillator tracks V
DD
and
GND internally, so that variations in power supply rails minimally affect
frequency stability. Only two components are required to program the
oscillator, a resistor (tied to the V
DD
and RC), and a capacitor (tied to the RC
and GND). The approximate oscillator frequency is determined by the simple
formula:

CS
4
RC
F
OSCILLATOR
=
1.41
RC
where frequency is in Hertz, resistance in Ohms, and capacitance in Farads.
The recommended range of timing resistors is between 7kΩ and 200kΩ and
range of timing capacitors is between 100pF and 1000pF. Timing resistors
less than 7kΩ should be avoided. For best performance, keep the timing
capacitor lead to GND as short as possible, the timing resistor lead from V
DD
as short as possible, and the leads between timing components and RC as
short as possible. Separate ground and V
DD
traces to the external timing
network are encouraged.

Pin Function
Ground
Alternating high current output stages. Both stages are capable of driving the
gate of a power MOSFET. Each stage is capable of 500mA peak source
current, and 1A peak sink current. The output stages switch at half the
oscillator frequency, in a push/pull configuration. When the voltage on the
RC pin is rising, one of the two outputs is high, but during fall time, both
outputs are off. This “dead time” between the two outputs, along with a
slower output rise time than fall time, insures that the two outputs can not be
on at the same time. This dead time is typically 60ns to 200ns and depends
upon the values of the timing capacitor and resistor. The high-current output
drivers consist of MOSFET output devices, which switch from V
DD
to GND.
Each output stage also provides a very low impedance to overshoot and
undershoot. This means that in many cases, external Schottky clamp diodes
are not required.
The power input connection for this device. Although quiescent V
DD
current
is very low, total supply current will be higher, depending on OUTA and
OUTB current, and the programmed oscillator frequency. Total V
DD
current
is the sum of quiescent V
DD
current and the average OUT current. Knowing
the operating frequency and the MOSFET gate charge (Qg), average OUT
current can be calculated from I
OUT
= Qg
×
F, where F is frequency. To
prevent noise problems, bypass V
DD
to GND with a ceramic capacitor as
close to the chip as possible. A 1µF decoupling capacitor is recommended.
