H3842P / HSMC3842
HIGH PERFORMANCE CURRENT MODE CONTROLERS
Description
The H3842P/HSMC3842 are high performance fixed frequency current mode
controllers. They are specifically designed for Off-Line and DC To DC converter
applications offering the designer a cost-effective solution with minimal external
components. These integrated circuits feature a trimmed oscillator for precise duty
cycle control. A temperature compensa-ted 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, programmable output deadtime, and a latch for single
pulse metering.
Features
• Trimmed Oscillator for Precise Frequency Control
• Oscillator Frequency Guaranteed at 250 kHz
• Current Mode Operation to 500 kHz
• Automatic Feed Forward Compensation
• Latching PWM for Cycle-By-Cycle Current Limiting
• Internally Trimmed Reference with Undervoltage Lockout
• High Current Totem Pole Output
• Undervoltage Lockout with Hysteresis
• Low Startup and Operating Current

Pin Connection (Top View)
DIP-8P Function Description
This pin is the Error Amplifier output and is made available for
loop compensation.
This is the inverting input of the Error Amplifier. It’s normally
connected to the switching power supply output through a
resistor divider.
A voltage proportional to inductor current is connected to this
input. The PWM uses this information to terminate the output
switch conduction.
The oscillator frequency and maximum output duty cycle are
programmed by connecting resistor RT to Vref and cpacitor CT
to ground. Operation to 500kHz is possible.
This output directly drives the gate of a power MOSFET. Peak
currents up to 1A are sourced and sunk by this pin.
This is the reference output. It provides charging current for
capacitor CT through resistor RT.
