ESD CIRCUIT
DESCRIPTION
The oscillator timing control pin. The operational frequency and maximum duty cycle are set by
RTCT

connecting a resistor, RT, between V
and this pin and a timing capacitor, CT, from this pin to GND.
REF
The oscillator produces a sawtooth waveform with a programmable frequency range up to 2.0MHz. The
charge time, t , the discharge time, t , the RTCT oscillator frequency, f, and the maximum duty cycle,

The formulas have increased error at higher frequencies due to propagation delays. Figure 7 may be
used as a guideline in selecting the capacitor and resistor values required for a given oscillator
frequency for the ISL7884xASxH and ISL73884xASEH . The switching frequency for the
ISL78841ASxH/ISL738841ASEH and ISL78845ASxH/ISL738845ASEH will be half the RTCT oscillator
frequency.

COMP is the output of the error amplifier and the input of the PWM comparator. The control loop
frequency compensation network is connected between the COMP and FB pins.

CS
The output voltage feedback is connected to the inverting input of the error amplifier through this pin.
The noninverting input of the error amplifier is internally tied to a reference voltage.
The current sense input to the PWM comparator. The range of the input signal is nominally 0V to 1.0V
and has an internal offset of 100mV.

The drive output to the power switching device. It is a high current output capable of driving the gate of
a power MOSFET with peak currents of 1.0A. This GATE output is actively held low when VDD is below
the UVLO threshold.

DD
operating frequency, f and the MOSFET gate charge, Qg, the average output current can be calculated
from Equation 5:

To optimize noise immunity, bypass V to GND with a ceramic capacitor as close to the V and GND
