A Company
The CS384XB provides all the necessary features to implement off-line
fixed frequency current-mode control
with a minimum number of external
components. The family has been optimized for very low start up current
(300µA, typ).
The CS384XB family incorporates a
precision temperature-controlled oscillator with an internally trimmed discharge current to minimize variations
in frequency. A precision duty-cycle
clamp eliminates the need for an external oscillator when a 50% duty-cycle is
used. Duty-cycles of almost 100% are
possible. On board logic ensures that
V
REF
is stabilized before the output
stage is enabled. Ion-implant resistors
provide tighter control of undervoltage
lockout.
Other features include pulse-by-pulse
current limiting, and a high-current
totem pole output for driving capacitive loads, such as the gate of a power
MOSFET. The output is LOW in the off
state, consistent with N-channel
devices.
These ICs are available in 8 and 14 lead
surface mount (SO) and 8 lead PDIP
packages.

should be
shunted to ground with a resistor to prevent output leakage current from activating the power switch.
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 current increase, the control voltage will increase allowing
the duty cycle to momentarily increase. Since the duty

components.
Setting the Oscillator
The oscillator timing capacitor, CT, is charged by V
REF
through RTand discharged by an internal current source
(Figure 3). During the discharge time, the internal clock
signal blanks out the output to the Low state, thus providing a user selected maximum duty cycle clamp.

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