FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
When the input voltage of 20 to 400 V appears at the DRAIN pin, the internal high-
voltage linear regulator seeks to maintain a voltage of 7 VDC at the VDD pin. Until this
voltage exceeds the internally programmed under-voltage threshold, the output DRAIN is
non-conductive. When the threshold is exceeded, the DRAIN turns on. The input current
begins to flow into the DRAIN pin. Hysteresis is provided in the under-voltage comparator
to prevent oscillation. The current through the switching MOSFET source is averaged.
When the average current exceeds the internal calculated level, control logic resets an RS
flip-flop, and the DRAIN turns off. At the same time, a one-shot circuit is activated that
determines the duration of the off-state (10.5 μS type). As soon as this time is over, the
flip-flop sets again. The new switching cycle begins. A “blanking” delay of 300 nS is
provided that prevents false triggering of the current sense comparator due to the leading
edge spike caused by circuit parasitic.
The constant-current control feedback derives the average current signal from the
source current of the switching MOSFET. This current is detected using a sense resistor at
the RSENSE pin. The feedback operates in a fast open-loop mode. No compensation is
required.
The above equation is only valid for continuous conduction of the output inductor. It is
a good practice to design the inductor such that the switching ripple current in it is 30~40%
of its average full load DC current peak-to-peak. Hence, the recommended inductance can
be calculated as:
L = (TOFF(MAX) •VO) / (0.4 •ILED
