The AS2208 is a simplified pulse width modulation controller, offering similar functionality as that of the AS3842.
Based on the AS2214, the AS2208 provides the additional
features of low startup current and overvoltage latching,
making it a good solution for adapter applications.
The PWM function is controlled by the current sense comparator for normal current mode control. The COMP pin,
which serves as an input to the current sense comparator,
provides a 1 mA current source which can be tied directly to
the control loop optocoupler. The output stage is a high
current totem pole output that sees only 85 ns delay from the
PWM comparator.
The AS2208 requires only 100 µA of startup current. The
undervoltage lockout (UVLO) thresholds are nominally 14V
for turn on and 8 V for turn off. The VREG pin, based on a
trimmed bandgap reference, provides a temperature compensated 5 V to loads of up to 50 mA. The oscillator
discharge current is trimmed to provide guaranteed duty
cycle clamping.

Pin Function Description
Pin NumberFunctionDescription
1COMPThis is the inverting input to the PWM comparator. A divided and level shifted
representation of this voltage is compared to the ISNS input to determine OUT duty
cycle. A 1 mA current source is provided as a pull-up for an optocoupler.
2ISNSA voltage proportional to inductor current is connected to this pin. The PWM uses this
information to terminate the gate drive of the output.
3RT/CTOscillator frequency and maximum duty cycle are set by connecting a resistor (R
T
) to
VREG and a capacitor (CT) to ground.
4OVThis pin latches OUT low when pulled above 2.5 V. The latch can be reset by pulling
OV above 4 V then back to ground.
5GNDCircuit common ground.
6OUTThis totem pole output is designed to directly drive a power MOSFET switch capable of
sourcing and sinking peak currents up to 1 A.

Stresses greater than those listed under ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above indicated in the operational sections of this
specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect reliability.
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. Unless otherwise specified, the conditions of test are V
BOK = 3 V; OV = 0V; RT = 680 Ω; CT = 10 nF. To override UVLO, V
should be raised above 18 V prior to test.
