CS3845B
CS3845B
Current Mode PWM Control Circuit
with 50% Max Duty Cycle
Description
The CS3845B provides all the neces-
sary features to implement off-line
fixed frequency current-mode control
with a minimum number of external
components.
The CS3845B incorporates a precision
temperature-controlled oscillator to
minimize variations in frequency. An
internal toggle flip-flop, which blanks
the output off every other clock cycle,
ensures that the duty-cycle never
exceeds 50%. The undervoltage lock-
out feature ensures that VREF is stabi-
lized within specification before the
output stage is enabled.
The CS3845B
has been optimized for lower start up
current (500µA max).
Other features include 1% trimmed
band gap reference, pulse-by-pulse
current limiting, and a high-current
totem pole output for driving capaci-
tive loads.

Circuit Description
Undervoltage Lockout
During Undervoltage Lockout (Figure 1), the output driv-
er is biased to sink minor amounts of current. The output
should be shunted to ground with a resistor to prevent
activating the power switch with extraneous leakage cur-
rents.
PWM Waveform
To generate the PWM waveform, the control voltage from
the error amplifier is compared to a current sense signal
which represents the peak output inductor current (Figure
2). An increase in V
CC
causes the inductor current slope to
increase, thus reducing the duty cycle. This is an inherent
feed-forward characteristic of current mode control, since
the control voltage does not have to change during
changes of input supply voltage.
When the power supply sees a sudden large output cur-
rent increase, the control voltage will increase allowing
the duty cycle to momentarily increase. Since the duty
cycle tends to exceed the maximum allowed to prevent
transformer saturation in some power supplies, the inter-
nal oscillator waveform provides the maximum duty cycle
clamp as programmed by the selection of OSC compo-
nents.

High peak currents associated with capacitive loads neces-
sitate careful grounding techniques. Timing and bypass
capacitors should be connected close to Gnd in a single
point ground.
The transistor and 5kΩ potentiometer are used to sample
the oscillator waveform and apply an adjustable ramp to
Sense.
