AP3842/3/4/5
High Performance Current Mode PWM Controller
Features
General Description
• Optimized for Off-Line and DC to DC Converters
• Low Start-Up Current (≦0.5mA)
The AP3842/3/4/5 family of control ICs provides the
necessary features to implement off-line or DC to
DC fixed frequency current mode control schemes
with a minimal external parts count. Internally
implemented circuits include under voltage lockout
featuring start-up current less than 0.5 mA, a
precision reference trimmed for accuracy at the
error amp input, logic to insure latched operation, a
PWM comparator which also provides current limit
control, and a totem pole output stage designed to
source or sink high peak current. The output stage,
suitable for driving N-Channel MOSFETs, is low in
the off-state.
• Automatic Feed Forward Compensation
• Pulse-by-Pulse Current Limiting
• Enhanced Load Response Characteristics
• Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) with Hysteresis
• Double Pulse Suppression
• High Current Totem Pole Output
• Internally Trimmed Bandgap Reference
• Current Mode Operation to 500KHZ
• Low Ro Error Amplifier

Differences between members of this family are the
under-voltage lockout thresholds and maximum
duty cycle ranges. The AP3842 and AP3844 have
UVLO thresholds of 16V(on) and 10V(off), ideally
suited for off-line applications. The corresponding
thresholds for the AP3843 and AP3845 are 8.5V
and 7.6V. The AP3842 and AP3843 can operate to
duty cycles approaching 100%. A range of the zero
to < 50% is obtained by the AP3844 and AP3845
by the addition of an internal toggle flip flop which
blanks the output off every other clock cycle.
