The SG1842/43 family of control IC's
provides all the necessary features to
implement off-line fixed frequency,
current-mode switching power supplies
with a minimum number of external
components. Current-mode
architecture demonstrates improved
line regulation, improved load
regulation, pulse-by-pulse current
limiting and inherent protection of the
power supply output switch.
The bandgap reference is trimmed to
±1% over temperature. Oscillator
discharge current is trimmed to less
than ±10%. The SG1842/43 has under-
voltage lockout, current limiting
circuitry and start-up current of less
than 1mA.
The totem-pole output is optimized
to drive the gate of a power MOSFET.
The output is low in the off state to
provide direct interface to an N
channel device.
The SG1842/43 is specified for
operation over the full military ambient
temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.
The SG2842/43 is specified for the
industrial range of -25°C to 85°C, and
the SG3842/43 is designed for the
commercial range of 0°C to 70°C.

FIGURE 16. — MOSFET PARASITIC OSCILLATIONS
A resistor (R1) in series with the MOSFET gate reduce overshoot and
ringing caused by the MOSFET input capacitance and any inductance in series with the gate drive. (Note: It is very important to
have a low inductance ground path to insure correct operation of
the I.C. This can be done by making the ground paths as short and
as wide as possible.)

The 1842/43 output stage can provide negative base current to
remove base charge of power transistor (Q1) for faster turn off. This
is accomplished by adding a capacitor (C1) in parallel with a resistor
(R1). The resistor (R1) is to limit the base current during turn on.
Current transformers can be used where isolation is required
between PWM and Primary ground. A drive transformer is then
necessary to interface the PWM output with the MOSFET.

The oscillator is programmed by the values selected for the timing
components RT and CT. Refer to application information for
calculation of the component values.
Due to inherent instability of current mode converters running above 50% duty cycle, a slope compensation should be added to
either current sense pin or the error amplifier. Figure 23 shows a typical slope compensation technique.

* This circuit uses a low-cost feedback scheme in which the DC
voltage developed from the primary-side control winding is
sensed by the SG1842 error amplifier. Load regulation is
therefore dependent on the coupling between secondary
and control windings, and on transformer leakage
inductance.
