Improved Current Mode PWM Controller

FEATURESDESCRIPTION

? Pin-for-Pin Compatible With the UC3846The UC3856 is a high performance version of the popular UC3846

?65ns Typical Delay From Shutdown to

Outputs, and 50ns Typical Delay From

Sync to Outputs

Improved Current Sen Amplifier With?

Reduced Noi Sensitivity

Differential Current Sen with 3V?

Common Mode Range

Trimmed Oscillator Discharge Current?

for Accurate Deadband Control

Accurate 1V Shutdown Threshold?

High Current Dual Totem Pole Outputs?

(1.5A peak)

TTL Compatible Oscillator SYNC Pin?

4kV ESD Protection?

ries of current mode controllers, and is intended for both design

upgrades and new applications where speed and accuracy are impor-

tant.All input to output delays have been minimized, and the current

n output is slew rate limited to reduce noi nsitivity.Fast 1.5A

peak output stages have been added to allow rapid switching of

power FETs.

A low impedance TTL compatible sync output has been implemented

with a tri-state function when ud as a sync input.

Internal chip grounding has been improved to minimize internal

“noi”caud when driving large capacitive loads.This, in conjunc-

tion with the improved differential current n amplifier results in

enhanced noi immunity.

Other features include a trimmed oscillator current (8%) for accurate

frequency and dead time control;a 1V, 5% shutdown threshold;and

4kV minimum ESD protection on all pins.
