PIN FUNCTIONS
CTRL1, CTRL2, CTRL3 (Pin 1, Pin 2, Pin 3): Current
Output Adjustment Pins. ꢀhese pins control the output
current. ꢀhe lowest value out of the three CꢀRL inputs is
compared to negative input of the operational amplifier.
FB (Pin 9): Voltage Loop Feedback Pin. FB is used to
regulate the output voltage by sampling the third wind-
ing. If the converter is used in current mode, the FB pin
will normally be at a voltage level lower than 1.2±V, and
will reach the steady state of 1.2±V if it detects an open
output condition.
V
(Pin 4): Voltage Reference Output Pin. ꢀypically 2V.
REF
ꢀhis pin drives a resistor divider for the CꢀRL pin, either
foranalogdimmingorfortemperaturelimit/compensation
of output load. Can supply up to 200μA.
DCM(Pin10):DiscontinuousConductionModeDetection
Pin. Connect a capacitor and resistor in series with this
pin to the third winding.
OVP (Pin 5): Overvoltage Protection. ꢀhis pin accepts a
DC voltage to compare to the sample and hold’s voltage
output information. When output voltage information is
above the OVP, the part divides the minimum switching
frequency by 8, around ±00Hz. ꢀhis protects devices con-
nected to the output. ꢀhis also allows the part to operate
with very little power consumption with no load to meet
energy star requirements.
V (Pin 11): Input Voltage. ꢀhis pin supplies current to
IN
the internal start-up circuitry and to the INꢀV LDO. ꢀhis
CC
pin must be locally bypassed with a capacitor. A 42V shunt
regulator is internally connected to this pin.
EN/UVLO(Pin12):Enable/UndervoltageLockout.Aresis-
tor divider connected to V is tied to this pin to program
IN
the minimum input voltage at which the Lꢀ3798 will turn
on. When below 1.2±V, the part will draw 60μA with most
of the internal circuitry disabled and a 10μA hysteresis
current will be pulled out of the EN/UVLO pin. When above
1.2±V, the part will be enabled and begin to switch and the
10μA hysteresis current is turned off.
VC (Pin 6): Compensation Pin for Internal Error Amplifier.
