DESCRIPTION
The IP1844 and IP1845 series of switching regulator control circuits contain all the functions necessary to
implement off-line, current mode switching regulators, using a minimum number of external parts.
Functions included are voltage reference, error amplifier, current sense comparator, oscillator, totem-pole output
driver and under-voltage lockout circuitry. In addition there is a toggle flip-flop which blanks the output on every
second clock pulse, thereby ensuring that the duty cycle never exceeds 50%.
Although pin compatible with the UC1844 and UC1845 series, SEMELAB has incorporated several improvements
in the IP1844 and IP1845 series allowing tighter and more complete specification of electrical performance .

Oscillator timing capacitor CTis charged by V

internal current source. During the discharge time, the internal clock signal blanks the
output to the low state. Selection of R

TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
High peak current associated with capacitive loads necessitate careful grounding techniques. Timing and bypass capacitors should
be connected close to pin 5 in a single point ground. The transistor and 5K potentiometer are used to sample the oscillator wave
form and apply an adjustable ramp to pin 3.
