CURRENT MODE PWM CONTROLLER
AP384XC
General Description
Features
The AP3842C/3C/4C/5C are high performance fixed
frequency current-mode PWM controller series.
·
Low Start-up Current: 50μA
Robust VREF Line/Load Regulation
·
Low Line Regulation : 4mV
Low Load Regulation : 4mV
High Stability of Reference Voltage over a Full
Temperature Range: 0.2mV/ oC
Operating Frequency up to 500kHz
High PWM Frequency Stability over a Full Tem-
perature Range: 2.5%
High PWM Frequency Stability under a Full Sup-
ply Voltage Range: 0.2%
These integrated circuits are optimized for off-line and
DC-DC converter applications with minimum external
components. They feature under-voltage lockout
(UVLO) circuit with low start-up current, trimmed
oscillator for precise duty cycle control, current sense
comparator providing maximum current limiting and a
totem pole output stage for increasing output current.
In addition, these ICs also feature accurate protection
against over-temperature, over-current and maximal
output power.

The AP3842C and AP3844C have UVLO thresholds
of 16V(on) and 10V(off); The corresponding thresh-
olds for AP3843C and AP3845C are 8.4 V(on) and
7.6V(off).

The AP3842C and AP3843C can operate approaching
100% duty cycle; AP3844C and AP3845C can operate
from zero to 50% duty cycle.
These ICs are available in SOIC-8 and DIP-8 pack-
ages.
