The UC3844B, UC3845B series are high performance fixed frequency
current mode controllers. They are specifically designed for Off−Line
and dc−dc converter applications offering the designer a cost−effective
solution with minimal external components. These integrated circuits
feature an oscillator, a temperature compensated reference, high gain
error amplifier, current sensing comparator, and a high current totem pole
output ideally suited for driving a power MOSFET.
Also included are protective features consisting of input and
reference undervoltage lockouts each with hysteresis, cycle−by−cycle
current limiting, a latch for single pulse metering, and a flip−flop
which blanks the output off every other oscillator cycle, allowing
output deadtimes to be programmed from 50% to 70%.
These devices are available in an 8−pin dual−in−line and surface
mount (SOIC−8) plastic package as well as the 14−pin plastic surface
mount (SOIC−14). The SOIC−14 package has separate power and
ground pins for the totem pole output stage.
The UCX844B has UVLO thresholds of 16V (on) and 10V (off), ideally
suited for off−line converters. The UCX845B is tailored for lower voltage
applications having UVLO thresholds of 8.5V (on) and 7.6V (off).

OPERATING DESCRIPTION
The UC3844B, UC3845B series are high performance,
fixed frequency, current mode controllers. They are
specifically designed for Off−Line and DC−DC converter
applications offering the designer a cost−effective solution
with minimal external components. A representative block
diagram is shown in Figure 16.
Oscillator
The oscillator frequency is programmed by the values
selected for the timing components RT and CT. Capacitor C
is charged from the 5.0 V reference through resistor RT to
approximately 2.8 V and discharged to 1.2 V by an internal
current sink. During the discharge of CT, the oscillator
generates an internal blanking pulse that holds the center
input of the NOR gate high. This causes the Output to be in
a low state, thus producing a controlled amount of output
deadtime. An internal flip−flop has been incorporated in the
UCX844/5B which blanks the output off every other clock
cycle by holding one of the inputs of the NOR gate high. This
in combination with the CT discharge period yields output
deadtimes programmable from 50% to 70%. Figure 2 shows
RT versus Oscillator Frequency and Figure 3, Output
Deadtime versus Frequency, both for given values of CT.
Note that many values of RT and CT will give the same
oscillator frequency but only one combination will yield a
specific output deadtime at a given frequency. The oscillator
thresholds are temperature compensated to within ±6%
at 50 kHz. Also, because of industry trends moving the
UC384X into higher and higher frequency applications, the
UC384XB is guaranteed to within ±10% at 250 kHz.
In many noise−sensitive applications it may be desirable
to frequency−lock the converter to an external system clock.
This can be accomplished by applying a clock signal to the
circuit shown in Figure 18. For reliable locking, the
free−running oscillator frequency should be set about 10%
less than the clock frequency. A method for multi−unit
synchronization is shown in Figure 19. By tailoring the
clock waveform, accurate Output duty cycle clamping can
be achieved to realize output deadtimes of greater than 70%.
Error Amplifier
A fully compensated Error Amplifier with access to the
inverting input and output is provided. It features a typical
dc voltage gain of 90 dB, and a unity gain bandwidth of
1.0 MHz with 57 degrees of phase margin (Figure 6). The
non−inverting input is internally biased at 2.5 V and is not
pinned out. The converter output voltage is typically divided
down and monitored by the inverting input. The maximum
input bias current is −2.0 mA which can cause an output
voltage error that is equal to the product of the input bias
current and the equivalent input divider source resistance.
The Error Amp Output (Pin 1) is provided for external
loop compensation (Figure 29). The output voltage is offset
by two diode drops (≈1.4 V) and divided by three before it
connects to the inverting input of the Current Sense
Comparator. This guarantees that no drive pulses appear at
the Output (Pin 6) when Pin 1 is at its lowest state (VOL).
This occurs when the power supply is operating and the load
is removed, or at the beginning of a soft−start interval
(Figures 21, 22). The Error Amp minimum feedback
resistance is limited by the amplifier’s source current
(0.5 mA) and the required output voltage (VOH) to reach the
comparator’s 1.0 V clamp level:

The UC3844B, UC3845B operate as a current mode
controller, whereby output switch conduction is initiated by
the oscillator and terminated when the peak inductor current
reaches the threshold level established by the Error
Amplifier Output/Compensation (Pin 1). Thus the error
signal controls the peak inductor current on a
cycle−by−cycle basis. The Current Sense Comparator PWM
Latch configuration used ensures that only a single pulse
appears at the Output during any given oscillator cycle. The
inductor current is converted to a voltage by inserting the
ground−referenced sense resistor RS in series with the
source of output switch Q1. This voltage is monitored by the
Current Sense Input (Pin 3) and compared to a level derived
from the Error Amp Output. The peak inductor current under
normal operating conditions is controlled by the voltage at
Pin 1 where:

Abnormal operating conditions occur when the power
supply output is overloaded or if output voltage sensing is
lost. Under these conditions, the Current Sense Comparator
threshold will be internally clamped to 1.0 V. Therefore the
maximum peak switch current is:
I
pk(max)
1.0 V

S
When designing a high power switching regulator it
becomes desirable to reduce the internal clamp voltage in order
to keep the power dissipation of RS to a reasonable level. A
simple method to adjust this voltage is shown in Figure 20. The
two external diodes are used to compensate the internal diodes,
yielding a constant clamp voltage over temperature. Erratic
operation due to noise pickup can result if there is an excessive
reduction of the I
clamp voltage.
pk(max)
A narrow spike on the leading edge of the current
waveform can usually be observed and may cause the power
supply to exhibit an instability when the output is lightly
loaded. This spike is due to the power transformer
interwinding capacitance and output rectifier recovery time.
The addition of an RC filter on the Current Sense Input with
a time constant that approximates the spike duration will
usually eliminate the instability (refer to Figure 24).

Undervoltage Lockout
Two undervoltage lockout comparators have been
incorporated to guarantee that the IC is fully functional
before the output stage is enabled. The positive power
supply terminal (VCC) and the reference output (V
ref
) are
each monitored by separate comparators. Each has built−in
hysteresis to prevent erratic output behavior as their
respective thresholds are crossed. The VCC comparator
upper and lower thresholds are 16 V/10 V for the UCX844B,
and 8.4 V/7.6 V for the UCX845B. The V
comparator
ref
upper and lower thresholds are 3.6 V/3.4 V. The large
hysteresis and low startup current of the UCX844B makes
it ideally suited in off−line converter applications where
efficient bootstrap startup techniques are required
(Figure 30). The UCX845B is intended for lower voltage
dc−dc converter applications. A 36 V Zener is connected as
a shunt regulator from VCC to ground. Its purpose is to
protect the IC from excessive voltage that can occur during
system startup. The minimum operating voltage for the
UCX844B is 11 V and 8.2 V for the UCX845B.
Output
These devices contain a single totem pole output stage that
was specifically designed for direct drive of power
MOSFETs. It is capable of up to ±1.0 A peak drive current
and has a typical rise and fall time of 50 ns with a 1.0 nF load.
Additional internal circuitry has been added to keep the
Output in a sinking mode whenever an undervoltage lockout
is active. This characteristic eliminates the need for an
external pulldown resistor.
The SOIC−14 surface mount package provides separate
pins for VC (output supply) and Power Ground. Proper
implementation will significantly reduce the level of
switching transient noise imposed on the control circuitry.
This becomes particularly useful when reducing the I
pk(max)
clamp level. The separate VC supply input allows the
designer added flexibility in tailoring the drive voltage
independent of VCC. A Zener clamp is typically connected
to this input when driving power MOSFETs in systems
where VCC is greater than 20 V. Figure 23 shows proper
power and control ground connections in a current−sensing
power MOSFET application.
Reference
The 5.0 V bandgap reference is trimmed to ±1.0%
tolerance at TJ = 25°C on the UC284XB, and ±2.0% on the
UC384XB. Its primary purpose is to supply charging current
to the oscillator timing capacitor. The reference has
short−circuit protection and is capable of providing in
excess of 20 mA for powering additional control system
circuitry.
Design Considerations
Do not attempt to construct the converter on
wire−wrap or plug−in prototype boards. High frequency
circuit layout techniques are imperative to prevent
pulse−width jitter. This is usually caused by excessive noise
pick−up imposed on the Current Sense or Voltage Feedback
inputs. Noise immunity can be improved by lowering circuit
impedances at these points. The printed circuit layout should
contain a ground plane with low−current signal and
high−current switch and output grounds returning on
separate paths back to the input filter capacitor. Ceramic
bypass capacitors (0.1 mF) connected directly to VCC, VC,
and V
may be required depending upon circuit layout.
ref
This provides a low impedance path for filtering the high
frequency noise. All high current loops should be kept as
short as possible using heavy copper runs to minimize
radiated EMI. The Error Amp compensation circuitry and
the converter output voltage divider should be located close
to the IC and as far as possible from the power switch and
other noise−generating components.
